La Manufacture de Café

Paris


Legendary French chef Alain Ducasse's ongoing expansion of his empire includes this 2019-launched coffee roastery, using beans sourced from his travels to sustainable small-scale plantations. Glass windows at the back of the cafe let you see the roasting in action, while expert staff guide you through the menu of coffees, accompanied by chocolates made at Ducasse's nearby La Manufacture de Chocolat.
