Adéla, Lloyd & Joey

From a Geneva coffee trike to the Ouchy quays

Adéla (baking) and Lloyd (behind the machine) started out in 2024 with a specialty coffee trike on the streets of Geneva. In spring 2026 the couple set their blue cups down at the bottom of Avenue d'Ouchy — they needed the lake nearby. Joey, their Boston Terrier, supervises. The idea hasn't changed: slow down, one sip at a time.
