Cafés open late in Geneva
Most specialty cafés in Geneva close by mid-afternoon. A small handful stay open into the evening — coffee bars that double as wine bars after 6pm, neighbourhood spots that serve a steady stream of locals after dinner, and the late roasteries that fire up the espresso machine until 9 or 10pm. Roasters lists every one. Roasters currently counts 41 cafés in Geneva, #2 in Switzerland.

Evening coffee in Geneva skews specialty in two ways: serious espresso bars that pour shots into the night, and hybrid coffee/wine rooms where the same team that dials in the morning espresso pours natural wines after work. Both work for a long sit or a quick second cup.
