For more than 10 years, coffee has reigned on these «Gardens of Aromas». In keeping with the know-how passed on from generation to generation, the family business maintains the tradition of roasting.

Coffee is roasted several times a week, proof of its freshness. If the pack offers its own mixes and a wide selection of coffees from all over the world (Africa, Asia, Oceania, Caribbean), it has remained faithful to the Brazilian brand for years. A range of tea (green, black, rooibos) from Asian countries (China, India, Japan) is also available. And what about the gourmet radius where chocolate in all its forms is mixed with candy? How to delight the buds and gourmets. Before starting the tasting, you can get all the necessary accessories (machines, dosettes, mugs, filters, dishes). An elegant boutique that, as its motto suggests, lets our senses travel!

Thierry Hommel has been a renowned pastry chef and chocolatier for over 30 years, and his delicious creations are sure to please gourmets' taste buds: croissants, streusel apple tarts, brioches, vanilla flans... And of course, the recipe developed by the chef himself: the famous fromage blanc tart, decorated with his initials, which has won him the recognition of his peers. There's also a tea room where you can enjoy these sweets on the spot, without waiting!

For the aficionados of Fabrice Dumay and his chocolates, two addresses: Marly and Metz-Vallières. The Dumay house uses pure cocoa, selected by a sharpened palate.

The speciality here is the Lorraine thistle with mirabelle plum liqueur of course, but also with pear, calvados, old plum... For the gourmets, the spread (47% hazelnuts) is to fall!

Born in 1910 in the Imperial District, the former pastry in front of the station comes back to the hands of Lemoy in 1988. Jean-Charles Lemoy, Jean-Charles Lemoy and his wife Isabelle are quick to revive the family business! The couple works with their two daughters, who are activating both, from the lab to the store. Since November 2014, the establishment has settled rue François de Curel. Now the place is also the tea room, the time for a gourmet break to taste its cake on site. Among the specialties are the success (pralé, cream, meringue and almonds) or the Royal (fruit cocktail and almond milk). As for the thousand-sheet, there is still a safe value for classic lovers. Not to mention the famous Paris Metz, big macaron three colors (lemon, bergamot, raspberry).

If the house is a reference to the city for its chocolates (milk, pure cocoa butter, and delicious ganaches), it also offers other delicacies, such as its violet candies or jasmine.
