Specialty coffee shops Gironde

It's easy to enter Béatrice Anisset's boutique, where you can do your shopping and indulge in one of the 120 teas and herbal teas on offer. Coffee is roasted on site. You'll also find everything you need to enjoy your coffee (coffee machines, crockery, infusers...). At the back, a charming garden for fine weather and a small room where you can warm up by the wood-burning stove with a hot chocolate, curled up on pretty leather sofas. For lunch: savory tarts, soups and other delicacies.

Since 2014, the L'Alchimiste roasting workshop has been based on the right bank in Darwin, and is a delight for all the city's "caffeinophiles". The great vintages of coffee produced here can be discovered and tasted in the café-boutique set up next to the Intendance, where people come to enjoy a delicious coffee (espresso, cortado, cappuccino, filter coffee...) accompanied by a little sweetness... A place for exchange, advice and tasting, L'Alchimiste also offers a selection of coffee makers, machines and grinders for sale.

The first coffee shop to open in Bordeaux (back in 2014!), the longevity of this tiny cocoon is undoubtedly due to the quality of its specialty coffee. Lovers of latte art meet there to taste great vintages, roasted not far from there by Oven Heaven. Special mention should be made of the filter coffee, prepared by hand in Chemex coffee makers, the Rolls of the machines. Breakfast and brunch join the party, with excellent pancakes or pastries, and every week new sandwiches, burgers and dishes are offered at lunch.

Arthur Audibert lived in North America and Paris before returning to his hometown, having trained with some of the world's greatest master roasters. Six types of fine coffee are roasted on site: mochas, red bourbon, yellow varieties, blends and - sacrilege - decaffeinated. The owner particularly appreciates gentle roasting and tasting methods. If you can't get to his roasting studio on the Right Bank, you can visit his boutique. The L'Alchimiste website is very ergonomic.

Mélanie Badets, an agricultural engineer with a fine nose and palate, has taken over Cafés Tchanqué - named after the famous tchanqué huts - and given them the name Tchanqué Gourmet. She, too, knows a thing or two about coffee and roasting. Her coffees come from the mountains of India, Africa and Latin America. She selects them with care, giving preference to small producers who are passionate about their craft. The Cafés Tchanqués, Cabane 53 -in reference to the Arcachon Basin- and Empreinte (organic coffees) collections are available in 200 gram to 1 kg bags and capsules.
