Specialty coffee shops Rhône-Alpes

A magnificent log as a central island, a bistro table, a large glass roof offering a view of the roasting machine, the setting is set, we are at Camino Café. A chic and luminous place, just like Rachel, the founder, from which emanate the scent of roasted coffee every Tuesday. This passionate person transmits her love of good coffee, which she selects from the best, along with a selection of teas from the Fabrikathé brand.

Online subscription to receive your Loutsabox. On-site tasting and workshops to help you become an informed coffee expert.

It is essential in Aix-les-Bains. This small shop uncovers at the beginning of Saint-Simond Avenue, near the railway station. A shop to the old where generations of Kaunas have come to search their fresh powdered coffees (since 1928!). Coffees from all sources to choose from its tastes and to give in its mood, robust or fruity, arabica or robusta. Wide variety of varieties, like teas in the world, to go into another sensory adventure. We love the charming welcome, as used in the shops, where you take the time to tell the origin of the products. There is also fine grocery and tea and coffee accessories. All this in such a small shop!

Should Nespresso still be presented? The brand of Nestlé, we must not forget, was born in… (you have a little time to guess) 1986, more than 30 years ago! Not enough to rejuvenate us, nor George Clooney, but always excellent coffees in small capsules (to recycle, it's important) with many great wines. The boutique of the Place des Jacobins has been nicely renovated, not just in elegance but also in automatism - and it is regrettable - with "machines" that issue the colored bars. Fortunately, there are still hosts and hostesses to keep advising us and discover the exotic novelties regularly proposed in our cups. Machines, crockery, delicacies, accessories, maintenance… Nothing misses to have fun around a high-end coffee. Other addresses on the Bourse, two steps from the Jacobins, and in the avenue de Saxe, just steps from the place du Maréchal Lyautey.

Paul Chauvet offers you, following in the footsteps of his predecessors and his grandfather Gustave, traditionally roasted coffee every week. The coffee, rigorously selected, is made directly in front of you in the shop, exhaling its delicious aromas of grand cru. You will also find dried fruits, tea, herbal tea, honey and spices, and a very warm welcome from this enthusiast, always ready to exchange with novices and informed amateurs about his products and the Boivin district that he knows so well, because, as he likes to remind us, "loving what you do is the recipe for success".

Luke, an itinerant barista who travels the countryside with his sidecar motorcycle to bring us exceptional coffees, has created a new living space: the Wheely Café. Formerly occupied by Chazal Café, it now houses a roasting workshop for specialty coffees, a coffee shop and a showroom for the finest coffee machines and accessories. The roaster offers excellent coffees from the 4 corners of the globe. Luke, a biker and adventurer at heart, continues to appear at markets and public and private events.

The artisanal coffee roasting shop has existed since 1971. It is located in the gallery of the Plein Sud shopping centre. Whether you are looking for a wide range of coffees, teas or herbal teas, chocolates and sweet or savoury products of all kinds, for your personal consumption or as a gift, you will find what you need. The choice is wide. The twenty or so coffees, of various origins or Italian or traditional blends, will take you on a journey. A quality coffee to drink at home, that's what La Brûlerie offers you!

From the outside, one would expect a simple tobacconist's shop. However, the Savane has managed to forge a new identity. Obviously, it keeps its first cap and offers magazines and newspapers, but inside, several entrances are offered to the visitor. If you take the stairs up, you will find the tea room. Two floors down, the Savane becomes a fashion accessories store. Another change of scenery with the decoration-gift room. Selection for children, home accessories, cosmetics... It's hard to leave empty-handed!

What a pleasure to share a coffee story with Sébastien and Stéphane.
