Coffee shops and tea rooms New Aquitaine

At Café Mère Poule, two beautiful rooms with fireplaces and a sunny terrace create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Zinc is replaced by wood, and the bar blends into the old-fashioned decor. The place is ideal for a drink or a sweet break with homemade hot chocolate and dessert (chocolate cake, raspberry tart "like a big cookie"), or in aperitivo mode with its small board of 3 pâtés! In any case, don't leave without stopping by the cabinet of curiosities. We love the simplicity of this address.

Discover an adorable tea room in bright colors. In a cocooning atmosphere where sweetness is king, the menu of sweet delights takes us on a journey through tastes and cultures. Charming Iraqi Lana takes us on a discovery of her grandmother's recipes, including cakes, cheesecakes, cookies and oriental cakes. In pretty teapots, local teas from the Compagnie Coloniale are brewed, unless you prefer Turkish coffee with cardamom or a delicious hot chocolate. All served with a smile!

Recently opened, this bright little coffee shop is a wonderful discovery. All day long, you can indulge in cakes, pastries and other gourmet pastries, such as the bacon roll with maple syrup. The drinks menu is a real eye-catcher, with delicious coffees and lattes, and especially a colorful Ice Tea Magic! On the savoury side, a number of world-influenced dishes are perfectly executed: subtly spiced shakshouka, creamy eggs Benedict, seasonal tartine on organic sourdough bread... Already our new favorite kitchen!

It's tea time in Montmorillon, and we're off to La Terrasse. In this cocooning place, Kim Stupple will satisfy your cravings for tea and English delicacies (carrot cake, scone...). We assure you, everything here is homemade! On this side of the bridge, there's a distinctly British accent in the air. The decor of the dining room is in keeping with the theme, very... green and flowery - lovely -, but what really appealed to us was the famous terrace overlooking the bridge over the Gartempe and the medieval town. And with that, how about a cup of tea ?

New gourmet address recommended! A passionate team, with Sophie, a pastry chef by trade, concocting the sweet treats every day - cheesecake, banana bread, carrot cake, cookies... - and Jean for the savoury "canteen": bagels, buns, avocado toast.... Here, the watchword is "homemade", with rigorously selected local products for the most part. A fine range of specialty coffees, much appreciated by connoisseurs, and even an eco-responsible ethic for cold drinks. The terrace is very pleasant and the welcome very friendly.

A gourmet follow-up to the Bellis adventure, Gaëtan Cossoul and Pascal Dimartino have just opened Maison LouGapa Nobilis in La Réole. Enter through the courtyard, then take time to appreciate the superb garden that unfolds behind a period pond. The patisserie, or rathergourmet store, is on your right, in this beautiful building in the historic center, above which two guest rooms welcome you for an Entre-deux-Mers getaway. On the menu: signature regional specialties, culinary workshops, snacking, tea room, spa...

Here's an address you'll want to visit. Right in the heart of the pedestrian streets, this tea room is a great place to take a gourmet break. As you enter, you'll be charmed by the warm welcome and cosy setting. When the weather's fine, make way for the terrace to devour the delicacies prepared daily by Florence and Adeline. From tarts made with local fruit to chocolate moelleux and the inevitable cheesecake on offer every Thursday, there's something for everyone! A word of advice: opt for the café gourmand.

What a variety of coffees and teas! For a snack break, it's hard not to find something you like... Here, coffee is available in a thousand and one ways (espresso, decaffeinated, organic...). On the menu, the Grand Cru coffees coexist with the exceptional coffees, the Café Latté, the Viennois or the Latté Macchiato. In this tea room and Barista café, the tea menu is also very extensive: more than 200 varieties of tea, herbal tea and rooibos. Enough to please tea lovers! Accompany your drink with a slice of home-made cake and enjoy!

Tasting a coffee here is an art. On the menu, a dozen varieties are highlighted. Producer, origin, terroir, harvest period, flavor, the coffee has been carefully selected by Anne and Frédéric, our roasters. You can drink it tightly or prepared with gentleness and precision. For tea lovers, a hundred varieties are offered, but perhaps you will opt for a colored and flavored milk drink. Accompany it all with a homemade pastry with or without gluten. The space is cosy, the tables rare, the welcome warm. A privilege!

A cheerfully colorful address where you can brunch, lunch or spend the afternoon over tea and a (very) tasty snack made by Julie and Claire. The talented partners delight Niort locals with their homemade pastries and clever tea blends. At lunchtime, you'll enjoy tarts, a dish of the day, savory scones and seasonal vegetables. Your weekend brunch (reservation required) will be royal: pancakes, fruit salad, pastrami/salmon bagels, pecan pie and more. A delightful stopover - with terrace, a stone's throw from La Brèche.

To experience a typical Neko café, head for Nekomata, where everything has been designed to fit in with this concept, which is all the rage in Japan. Welcomed by 9 adorable cats, you slip into comfortable slippers and choose your drink, which is included in the formula: here, you pay according to the time you spend there. Afterwards, you're free to settle down on a sofa or in the cool courtyard. You can pick from the mango library, nibble a Japanese snack(onigiris, mochis...), hand out some croquettes, and get your fill of purrs!

What a wonderful discovery this little tearoom is, with an atmosphere and decor as delicate and refined as the pastries! At Bergamote, the sweetness is as much in the welcome as in the gourmet offerings: macaroons, chocolates and marshmallows, golden pastries (including the famous New York roll that's all the rage), and superbly crafted pastries. The tartelettes fleurs, the signature dessert that changes with the seasons, are so beautiful you almost hesitate to eat them... But it would be wrong not to!

A tea room with a Parisian spirit, you are not dreaming, you are in Poitiers! Here the gustatory journey begins with the eyes. Your mouth will water as you pass in front of the shop windows, before being accompanied to your table. In this magnificent setting, take the time you need to enjoy an excellent tea accompanied by a pastry to die for! You will be charmed by the warm welcome of all the staff and you can even ask for candles if it's your birthday! Don't hesitate to try their artisanal ice creams, they are delicious! The Fink Chocolate Factory's tea room is definitely a must in the heart of the city!
