Sprudge Maps is a globalโand we mean globalโcompendium of coffee bars large and small, near and far, a living wish list of the cafes you’re looking forward to visiting once visiting and traveling becomes a normal thing again. So we are especially excited to be featuring our first Sprudge Maps Spotlight from the city of Geneva, Switzerland. We’ve featured the Swiss culture capital Zurich extensively on the siteโin both a coffee and a wine guideโbut Geneva is no second runner-up when it comes to great cafes, as The Barista Lab makes abundantly clear. To learn more about the project we spoke digitally with the team at The Barista Lab, who were gracious enough to share some gorgeous photos to help us all travel vicariously to their coffee bar.
