Coffee shops and tea rooms Franche-Comté

La Pause Gourmande has moved out at the beginning of 2019. New place, new decoration but still a delicious cuisine! You can imagine that its success at the premises will keep its course. Salads, simmered dishes and works of art. Here, tastes and colors are creatively matched. Guests can watch the chef thanks to the open kitchen, and the menu of the month is full of surprises and changes, as its name suggests, every month, allowing our connoisseur taste buds to enjoy these agape - you can judge by yourself: the pumpkin soup, small mushrooms and croutons will whet our appetite. Let's continue with the roasted back of cod, goat and fig ravioles and fresh herb cream. Then enjoy the sweet treats for dessert, and the tiramisu in the chef's style, vanilla, coffee and speculoos biscuits. You can also have break in the afternoon, to enjoy cupcake that are, of course, homemade! Petit Futé really likes this modern, welcoming and friendly place.

Dame Jeanne is a local institution. In a cosy 18th century style setting, by the fire in winter or on the terrace in summer, you will love the small dishes served continuously. In addition to the savory pie of the day, you can choose between 2 or 3 courses and homemade desserts. As for the tea room, many teas and coffees from all over the world as well as a nice menu of hot chocolates are waiting for you. And the address also has a vinibar, dedicated to the discovery of local wines. At the Petit Futé, we love this address in the old Avallon!

The English art of living has been invited to the heart of this small village in Puisaye where the British Jayne has joined forces with her daughter Natasha to create this very cosy and warmBritish-Poyaudin Tea Room. Here you can enjoy cupcakes, carrot cakes, cheese cakes and other scones with a cup of tea or an ice cream. Unless you prefer homemade soups and salads? In any case, you will enjoy them while contemplating the works of local artists exposed on the walls. A real space-time bubble... And a big hit!

La Causerie des Mondes is a delightfully vintage place where nostalgic diners flock, for here there's an air of breakfast at Grandma's. Disparate wooden tables, books on shelves, knick-knacks here and there, alongside a slate displaying the day's pastries. Mismatched wooden tables, books on shelves, knick-knacks here and there, alongside a slate displaying the day's pastries. You come for a homemade soup, a clafoutis, a warming dish, a French toast or simply to have a cup of tea. In short, to warm your heart and body, relax and even recharge your batteries, La Causerie des Mondes is the place to go.

A pleasant, friendly and original concept for the department, Bis Repetita is a tea salon that also makes reading lounge. The reception is warm and the map attractive: fresh fruit delicious, tea, gourmet coffee. Pastries to fall and books per thousand. The comics are also for sale. The owner loves telling the story of his city. Advice to amateurs… We love and advise!

For a long time, Parisian Sabine Couder had a dream: when she retired, she'd leave Paris and welcome gourmets and cultural enthusiasts in an atypical location. In Saint-Sauveur, she fell in love with a superb building, its garden and its old square tower. "Le Jardin du Bardado" was born. Both a literary café and a restaurant, you'll enjoy organic and essentially local produce. But let's not forget the attractive delicatessen section. And regular events, often featuring international artists. A favorite.

The Madeleine Café has been the must-see meeting place in the antique district since 2018. In a wooded decor, cool in the summer and warm in the winter, it is the place for those who like to take their time with a good book or chat with friends. If you don't come for a gourmet breakfast, hurry there at lunchtime and taste a proposal from the daily and seasonal menu. A tea and coffee room, the pleasure would not be complete without the pastries. Delicious nectars, pressed juices or smoothies will sweeten the beautiful days that are coming back.

Come discover the flavors of freshly ground coffee at Caffè Gufo. The owner, Jean-Baptiste Legouge, who is passionate about roasting, is happy to tell customers about the secrets of making coffee. Located on rue de la Chouette, a stone's throw from the Square des Ducs, it's an opportunity to take a short break on the terrace to taste local and natural coffees, like those found at the Caféothèque in Paris. The menu is renewed every three weeks and the espresso, whether lungo or ristretto, costs two euros. The icing on the cake is that the house offers green coffee and infusions made from coffee cherries. Jean-Baptiste is still inspired by his trips to Italy to compose his menu, with for example the delicious Bicerin from Turin. Finally, for those who are not convinced, you can enjoy Christine Dattner's tea or opt for a beer or a fruit juice.

The Comptoir des Négociants is not a bar like any other despite its institutional past as a PMU bar. It is a café, a store of good things and a place of exhibition. You can have a snack break with Daniel Le Poupon's pastries, or an aperitif break with a cheese and charcuterie board. Most of the drinks served, wines, beers, absinthes, lemonades, fruit juices and other mineral waters, are of regional production and mostly sold at the Comptoir. We love the expression of good taste that reigns at the Comptoir like a ray of sunshine!

A clever mix between the American'to go'culture and the French art of taking a coffee, the French Coffee Shop, a full-development espresso-bar chain throughout the national territory, has just landed at Besançon. The cart is no longer, but instead it can now be enjoyed cappuccino, coffee latte, espresso and other macchiato or milkshakes, smoothies or choco coco frio and coffee toffee. A little more expensive than a traditional black black, gourmet drinks drool. To taste on site or to take in a cardboard cup, delicious recipes blend flavours, chocolate caramel, and more fruity tastes, each will find the watering of the watering at the French Coffee Shop.

"Chez La Louise", well known to Clunis locals, has become "Chez Louisette" since the summer of 2023, when Laurence Collaudin took over from Paris, where she worked for many years as a restaurateur in organic salons. On the edge of the abbey church, on the pretty square, this simple bistro-tea room rhymes with conviviality. Sweet and savoury waffles are always there, and the new owner also offers dishes exploring a wide range of products and cereals rarely found on the à la carte menu. Kombucha, artisanal ice creams and homemade beverages are also well represented.

You'll want to curl up on the sofas in this tastefully decorated tearoom in downtown Mâcon. You'll enjoy coffee, chocolate, tea and a number of highly original drinks, such as an iced apple-cucumber timut infusion and a mandarin-grapefruit maté. All served in charming cups. As an afternoon snack, you can indulge in home-made pastries, while a savoury menu is available for lunch. In fine weather, the large terrace at the foot of Saint-Pierre church almost makes you lose track of time.

At the entrance of the historic center of Joigny, La Station is an art-broc-café. It is a bar, a flea market, an exhibition place, but also a bistro that offers quality food, all in a charming setting full of character. We also like the shaded terrace which, in good weather, is a nice break in our walks in Jovin. And the board games proposed inside. A real jewel that this place as atypical as friendly. It's simple: having been there once, we only dream of one thing: coming back quickly! A favorite.

Britons Anna Mac Queen and Charles Masters, who have lived in France for 25 years, have taken over the premises of a former bakery and turned it into a temple to cycling. At Café Vélo, you'll find both a catering area and cycling equipment. It's a trendy place, designed as a space for sharing around the theme of two wheels. Tearoom, brunch, home-cooked meals - everything here is English-style. What's more, 3 charming bedrooms and a loft are available above the café. We love this original, friendly place!

The Comptoir des Colonies is an institution in Dijon. On market days, places are expensive, so much so that it is a popular tea room! In the summer, the large terrace welcomes you to stroll and watch the passers-by get restless. In the winter, the crowded room and the smell of coffee have something comforting. You can choose from about 20 different types of coffee and it is roasted by hand a few steps away. Le Comptoir also has many teas from the famous house "Mariage Frères", and all are served with a nice slice of pound cake. Finally, the Comptoir des Colonies offers a few aperitifs and some very good rums. An address to visit!

The cat bar, or «neko coffee», is a popular concept in Japan: these unusual establishments have flowed hundreds in recent years. The idea? To allow stressed businessmen to spend a moment with cats to relax. And yes, the ration of these animals seems good for health. Here, in addition to being able to observe the outages of Gavroche, Cosette, Fantine, Gustave, Clopin and Victor, 6 adorable matches and minettes, you can taste delicious homemade cookies or tasty tartins. The atmosphere is generally very calm: The cat nap is sacred. In short, an ideal place to spend a soothing moment. Reservation strongly recommended.

Du vestiaire à la cave is a hybrid place where everyone can find something to their liking. We come here to have a drink with friends or a hot beverage. The wide selection means you can drop in at any time of day. We also take the opportunity to take a look around the store: ready-to-wear for the whole family, accessories, top brands... While some people are browsing in the booth or shopping for gifts, others are lounging on the terrace. Whatever the purpose of your visit, you'll have a great time surrounded by a young, smiling team.

Located in the lively Rue du Châtelet, Chez Maman doesn't go unnoticed. This restaurant and tea room is decorated in candy pink from floor to ceiling, and even outside on the carpeted terrace. You enter a neat, girly worldthat extends, with a great deal of humor, to the menu. The menu is sweet and savoury, with an American flair, led by the multi-flavoured pancake: poached egg, bacon, trout, salted butter caramel, maple syrup... As rare as it is notable in Chalon, you can eat sweet or savoury here continuously until 5pm.

After climbing up to the historic heart of the town of Autun, take a gourmet break in this delightful tearoom with its refined decor. The mother-daughter duo Annick/Axelle provide a truly enchanted interlude. While Axelle puts all her talent into preparing delicious sweets (entremets, viennoiseries, cookies...), her mother Annick serves with a smile. Each season has its own speciality. Here, we work the traditional way, using as many local products as possible. Cream, butter, flour and fruit come primarily from Burgundy.
