Coffee shops and tea rooms Drôme

This is an unusual place: here you can also enjoy independent authors and publishers and "writers'teas" - blends of specially worked flavours, such as the tea of Russian writers (where the vodka aroma blends with sweet orange and grapefruit flavours) or tea from Japanese writers (based on green tea and cherry and masquari aromas). On the first floor, Mots'art of Words offers a space for temporary (monthly) art exhibitions; the second floor is reserved for a permanent exhibition (year) of singular art, presenting works by artists painters, sculptors… Every first Saturday of the month, the bookshop organizes an opening to present the temporary exhibition.

Just opposite the Palais Idéal, this house with its pretty courtyard welcomes you to its charming tea room. Here you'll find exceptional teas and cold drinks. You're also invited to visit its cabinet of curiosities, where you'll discover the creations of some fifteen talented local designers. On display are jewelry, ceramics, ironwork, paintings, photography and a wide variety of decorative objects. A stopover at this hedonistic house is the perfect complement to a visit to the Palais and/or a stroll along the Galaure river.

There's not a dull moment at Pic, which offers a gastronomic version of tea time, the 4 o'clock of our childhood. We've heard of brunch and aperitif tapas, and now we've come up with a luxury snack. A moment of sweet, refined bliss, signed by pastry chef Eric Verbauwhede and head sommelier Edmond Gasser, with sweet starters, viennoiseries, pastries and plated desserts. Featuring quince, fir buds, citrus fruits, spices or chocolate, turmeric and rum. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In lounges or gardens, or to take away. A 4h on a cloud.

A welcome stopover in the mountains. On the road to the Col de Grimone, precisely the very picturesque route to the Gorges des Gâts, this small summertime address is a favorite with bikers (welcome bikers). It's a bistro with a large south-facing terrace at the foot of the Vercors, offering a menu with a dish of the day at lunchtime and a guinguette atmosphere in the evening. Aperitif board all day long. Sunday evening rotisserie with free-range chicken, hams, ribs, roast pork and even portions of vegetables, available to eat in or take away.

Rebecca's passion for pastry-making is no secret. The good news is that she's decided to share it by opening this tearoom right in the center of Nyons. The decor is beautifully vintage, the floral crockery as cute as can be, and you can enjoy a cup of tea with friends, accompanied by a slice of the sweet creations of the adorable Rebecca. There are also sweet treats to take home, enjoy selfishly or share with the family. Tea Time is "a little bit of Britain in the Drôme".

After a thorough renovation, this restaurant, located in a beautiful bourgeois house in the old town, reopened in April 2023. A fine dining experience that began under the name of La Véranda, now known as L'Îlot. From spring onwards, a lovely shaded terrace unfolds under the lime trees and on the lawn, while winter brings us into a cosy dining room. A great place for a drink or a bite to eat, with delicious home-cooked dishes. And to go with a good meal, we treat ourselves to a homemade fruity smoothie.

A new ethical address. Yakan is both a store selling eco-responsible, fair trade crafts and a counter selling local flavors and wines to taste on site or take away. Double the reason to stop in. In 2023, Yvonne and Patrick Hereng opened this boutique-bistro for Opportunity for Women, an association that supports women artisans in South-East Asia. You'll find cushions, clothing and accessories. You can enjoy Baronnies tapas with an artisan beer, kombucha or a glass of local organic and natural wine.

The company was founded in 1978. It's a gourmet address not to be missed in Buis, a bakery, pastry shop, confectionery, ice cream parlour and tea room where you can stop off for a bite to eat or relax with a coffee on the terrace. Everything is handcrafted, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. And both the storefront and the menu change with the seasons and traditional holidays. Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas and Epiphany all inspire beautiful creations that delight the eyes before seducing the taste buds!

In Die's semi-pedestrian shopping street, this Parenthèse de douceurs is a delight. Sweetness on the menu. You can stop in all day long, from morning coffee with a slice of homemade cake or a hearty brunch, right through to lunch. Drinks are local, including beers, and the cocktails and herbal teas are delicious. You can also enjoy a cup of tea with a pastry. A friendly new address in the organic, locavore and convivial spirit of the Diois.

Thierry Alix has transformed his mother's former bakery and patisserie into a coffee shop. Facing the station, a small corner terrace on the sidewalk, a bright brick room and other rooms in a row, with vintage furniture, creating several spaces where you can isolate yourself. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. Thierry Alix prepares fresh smoothies and, with the right Italian machine, top-of-the-range barista coffees with hearts drawn in the foam. At the counter, croissants, doughnuts and other nibbles.
