La Caféothèque

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


From the industrial grinder to elaborate tasting notes, this coffee house and roastery is serious. Grab a seat, and pick your bean, filtration method (Aeropress, V60 filter, piston or drip) and preparation style. The in-house coffee school has tastings and various courses including two-hour Saturday-morning tasting initiations (five terroirs, five extraction methods) for €60 (English available).
