With all our travelling in Switzerland, we spent quite a bit of time at Geneva train station picking up snacks for our journeys. Happily, there are some decent options.

There is a Dunkin counter in the station (I believe there was no seating, but I could be misremembering) which was very convenient for picking up a quick breakfast or snack for the train. Vegan options are clearly labelled. 

We tried the Lotus biscoff bomb, which was unsurprisingly very sweet. The filling seemed like Lotus spread straight from the jar, so it was a little firm, but it was tasty and definitely delivered on the Lotus flavour.

The chocolate sprinkles was also a bit too sweet, but I have a sweet tooth so I enjoyed the chocolatey flavour.

The original glazed was nice and simple, and the vanilla sprinkles was also quite sweet.

I think there was just one other vegan option on our visit, strawberry sprinkles. All of the doughnuts were fluffy and soft. Every day we visited, they had the same options.

We also picked up some sandwiches at Brezelkonig to take away for a packed lunch on a day trip. This is a bakery we saw pretty much everywhere we went in Switzerland, including probably every train station. The vegan options are labelled, though quite limited – there were no pretzels available when we were there, and just 1 or 2 sandwiches.

We tried the planted curry sandwich, and really enjoyed it. The bread was pretzel-like, as we hoped: it had a nice crust and texture and was fluffy inside. The curry sauce was nice, it had quite a curry powder taste to it, but it was pleasant. The chicken pieces had a nice texture and were ok cold. They were not the most flavoursome I’ve ever had, but the curry sauce made up for that.

For a sandwich shop at a train station, I thought this was pretty good.

One of the train journeys which we acquired snacks for was a day trip to Montreux, which I recommend as a pleasant little town on the lake. There were not many options on Happy Cow, so we relied on our train station picnic. It was really lovely to walk along the lake from the station to this castle. As always in Switzerland, the scenery was just so special!
