Coutume café in Paris

A Franco-Australian duo is behind Coutume café in Paris, which swells with both neighborhood regulars and out-of-towners the second the doors open. Coutume is an award-winning French specialty coffee roasters and café. In their own words : “Our goal is to revitalise and enrich the French coffee culture by providing a wide offering of seasonal award-grade coffees, the introduction of new extraction methods and a strong educational campaign to spread our passion. We roast and brew the finest seasonal Arabica coffees on-site in our Paris boutique and employ an ethical philosophy towards their sourcing.” A Paris-based studio CUT architectures completed the Café Coutume. They set in this decor a laboratory of coffee using square white tiles, grid lighting, stainless steel, industrial plastic curtains, laboratory glassware.

Siphon is one of their many claims to fame. Coutume café is something of a coffee-geek’s paradise, with single-origin beans roasted to perfection on the premises, and your choice of any brewing method. The breakfast formule, with three mini-viennoiseries, hot beverage of your choice, and a glass of freshly-squeezed juice, is a decent buy, especially for this neighborhood. You can also find their house-roasted coffee in many restaurants across the city. Read a review here.
