3. Geneva's L Cafe, Livresse

Compared to Le Phare, Livresse is frequented by more lesbians. This cafe-library, in fact, features a bookstore inside and exudes a sweet, casual feel. As its name and concept suggest, many LGBT books are available for purchase here.

Livresse


Livresse opened just a couple years ago and, since it's fully internet equipped and just 5 minutes from the University of Geneva, it's extremely popular among college students looking to escape campus between classes.

It's no wonder that students from the nearby university flock here.

Shelves along the walls are lined with LGBT and other books available for purchase.

Just as at Le Phare, Livresse's owners are second-to-none when it comes to friendliness. The cafe is a delightful place to spend some time laid-back on one's own in the afternoon. Definitely a must-see establishment for anyone visiting the area!
