Coffee shops and tea rooms Toulouse

Take the time to experience a fika break. It's happening at Café Fika, right next to the Capitol. Don't be surprised to meet the Swedish community there. Fika comes from the Scandinavian latitudes and their passion for this very fragrant beverage that they consume in large quantities. Understand coffee in slang, so to speak! This word has become synonymous with an art of living. We take the time to do ourselves good by accompanying our hot drink with a kanelbulle or brioche roll with cinnamon, sometimes with cardamom or with apples... The address is held by a French-Swedish couple who invites you to discover the specialities from the Nordic countries from breakfast to afternoon tea!

Soft music, a welcoming bench, a smile behind the counter, Café Papiche has what it takes to seduce you. Small but very cozy. His "lunch formula" advocates "homemade". The choice is between a soup of the day and fresh bread, also from the master's oven, or a piece of quiche, a dessert and a coffee of very high quality and selected with great care. No weariness for the regulars because the freshly squeezed juice also changes according to the products and the mood of the moment. Ditto for Sunday morning brunch. Hearty, tasty... you leave very happy because you are full of the mixture of flavours between here and elsewhere! Be careful, it's better to book!

Here we feel good, we are greeted with open arms, always with a smile, with great attention and sympathy. The nomadic garden style Tente tries to seduce, adding to the atmosphere a feeling of complete change. This tea salon has turned into Tunisian casbah, brown and orange hot tones, coordinated striped fabrics, sails, trendy furniture, designs and calligraphy on the walls… to get us better, especially at midday since we can now restore it. For lunch breaks, salads, salty pies, Tunisian bricks… Faithful to its world atmosphere, the Shambhala also develops its activities: Richer games, organisation of themed evenings, conversation courses in foreign languages, meditation, yoga… This place is unique, word of Petit Smart!

"Chapristea de Chapristea", there are cats in this café! Indeed, you're not fooled... You're in a neko café, the Toulouse version, under beautiful brick vaults! In other words, a tea room where adorable fur balls are just waiting to curl up on your lap! Here, pussycats of all stripes enjoy total freedom. The concept was developed worldwide after seeing the benefits and soothing effects on our feline friends. As well as scratching your cat (some are up for adoption, so ask away!), you'll find a wide range of scented teas, organic coffees, hot chocolates and delicacies... A salon that's sure to do you good. Chat then!

This English tea room is located on a pretty sunny square in the city centre. In the summer, you can sit on the terrace under the large white parasols. In winter, the well-heated room on the first floor allows you to enjoy a moment of calm. You can enjoy a cappuccino or a generous hot chocolate, unless you prefer to taste a tea: lapsang souchong, Formosa tea, fruity black and green teas... Gourmets can also enjoy a Pavlova, a Pecan pie or a cheesecake! As for cold drinks, a freshly squeezed orange juice or, a house speciality, a great red fruit smoothie served chilled. A victim of its own success, the Flower's Café is often crowded, but a scooter rides along the nearby Avenue d'Alsace-Lorraine, allowing you to enjoy a wide selection of drinks and pastries during your shopping day!

Happy birthday... Bapz! 20 years already that this honourable tea room with a so british air welcomes you in a friendly way for a break. Everything here is anafternoon tea-time experience. The flowery earthenware dishes, the parasols and umbrellas on the walls, the fabric-covered benches and, of course, the delicious scones and other delicacies on display. The English brunch, meaning a mixture of sweet and savoury, is served every day. At lunchtime, the dish of the day is presented in copious plates with a British spirit. Don't forget the bakery section, with hot breads from the oven for your home-made club sandwiches!

When you think of pastries, you automatically think of sugar. We salivate in anticipation of a creamy, praline-filled Paris-Brest, an all-chocolate tartelette or a very watery baba! But what would you say if we told you: pastry is salty! When you think about it, you can imagine anything, and that's exactly what Marie did. With a CAP in design and pastry, she makes savory Paris-Brest with goat's cheese mixed with blackberry, or Roquefort with pear, or a Saint-Honoré with smoked trout and wasabi. As Le Petit Futé has tasted, we can confirm: it's good, super good! This pretty green tea room is so welcoming that it's hard to leave.

Canopée Coffee House has made a bet on quality, relaxation and taste. In a refined atmosphere, with a hint of Scandinavian style combined with a few touches of Toulouse bricks that warm the place up, calm and well-being accompany you once you have passed through the door. Ideal for working while enjoying freshly squeezed juices, tchai tea or coffee! The coffee is just delicious, without bitterness, round in the mouth, roasted by our friends from Bordeaux ovenheavenbx! Cow's milk or almond latte, it's up to you. Don't miss out on the cinnamon roll for a moment of indulgence or healthy and varied lunch formulas. The only risk is becoming addicted to Canopée and its coffees!

At Zaza Café Galerie, the ideal way of life is to consume responsibly. It starts with the decor, with vintage furniture, especially Formica, for a total seventies look. And then Zaza is a coffee shop set in a gallery where zero waste and zero plastic are the order of the day. In this cheerful and colorful place, come and enjoy a good coffee from Ethiopia or El Salvador, fair trade of course. At lunchtime, savoury dishes feature seasonal fruit and vegetables, washed down with local organic beer. Vegetarian values are also emphasized. The pastries are gourmet and the brunch generous, but gluten-free and lactose-free. No one is forgotten!

In the pleasant Rue des Tourneurs, L'Autre salon de thé revives the tradition of the salons of yesteryear. Cosy decor, porcelain tableware and delicious pastries! Everything is homemade with fresh, carefully selected ingredients to spoil you: Saint-Honoré, cheesecake, banoffee, cream puffs, banana bread, accompanied by a selection of teas to die for. The address has been renowned for years, without changing the quality of its recipes or its brunch. Come for lunch or a snack, indoors or on the terrace in fine weather.

Here is a perfect café to work and where you can recharge your batteries! Everything has been designed so that you can relax, or work without being stressed, or study alone or with others sitting on the mezzanine, especially since Wifi is free. And the electric plugs are everywhere. If you're not into coffee, the menu also offers juices, teas, hot chocolates or milkshakes as well as a wide choice of sandwiches or salads, pastries, homemade cakes... You'll be pumped up for work!

Located in the heart of the Cartoucherie eco-district, Arcane is a modern coffee shop with a contemporary industrial style, combining concrete and natural materials such as wood. The bright, spacious room lets you enjoy your coffee while working in peace. Alternatively, you can sample one of the daily dishes/desserts and choose your own gourmet moment, as the menu is advertised (including on the Internet) along with the week's menu. Very practical and, above all, very smart. A young, dynamic team welcomes you with a smile. It's even better when you work in such a beautiful place... The quality is top-notch and the portions are adequate.

Do beautiful family stories appeal to you? The Three Sisters is sure to delight you. Once upon a time, Claire, Albane and Maud were fed up with their boring jobs. Seduced by the beautiful placette Ste-Scarbes, they threw themselves wholeheartedly into the adventure of this tea salon, the aptly named Trois soeurs. It's in the timelessly charming St-Etienne district that they welcome you for your morning coffee, lunch break or afternoon snack. The room is small, the tables tightly packed, voices buzzing around you, it can be noisy at times, but the welcome is smiling, the plates generous and the family spirit... the key to their success.

The La Belle Brune team loves to play with words and tastes. Especially in the choice of specialty coffees prepared in a variety of ways: latte frappé, cold brew, cappuccino, americano, filter... The wide choice of teas will also satisfy tea lovers. For sustenance: the homemade bun with scrambled eggs and cow's tomme or the lunch bowl for savoury dishes; granola, pancakes, cookies and rolled brioche for sweet treats. The approach is based on local production, but with a commitment to quality. It's all happening at Les Carmes!

Coffee lovers, it's time to stop at Virgule to enjoy a specialty coffee. What the hell is this? This is a top-of-the-range, rather top-of-the-range coffee whose traceability, quality requirements and fair production make it a remarkable product... so you might as well take the time to appreciate it! Here, the vegan attitude is emphasized: no cow's milk in the milkshakes or chai teas. The cakes change according to the mood of Charles, the happy owner of the place! Throughout the day, you can treat yourself to a sweet and savoury break, on the spot or to take away. Don't forget to bring your cups because the approach is also eco-friendly!

In the Saint-Etienne district, a fresh and colorful address, with wood here and there and industrial furniture. Ash is open for lunch and snacks. The menu is renewed daily. Desserts are a little less common than in other tea rooms. Revisited, often garnished with fantasy and very much influenced by the "Strawberry Shortcake" generation! Like Ash's Chacha, a charlotte (sic!) with madeleines and strawberries as garnish. The Napolitain with its vanilla-chocolate stripes. The Montebello, made entirely with pistachios and a few raspberries... Saturday is brunch!

Perched on the top floor of the Midica store, Gigi Land is a nice, unexpected place. Divided into successive small spaces, some are convivial, others more cosy. The overall atmosphere is quite girly, cute and cheerful. During the day, it's a tea room with appetizing pastries. At lunchtime, homemade, seasonal and organic preparations are mixed and matched according to your inspiration. You can also enjoy breakfast or brunch here. A flower-filled roof-top full of charm, protected from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It's an address that some regulars would like to keep to themselves, like a secret spot where you can take refuge when you're tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. Tea or coffee? The choice is yours, with a dozen proposals in each category. Or how about a hot chocolate? Voluptuous, generous, comforting when the first chill sets in. If you're in the mood for freshness, you can also opt for granités. Pastries? Of course you can! And if you're an early riser, you can even opt for an authentic English breakfast . A friendly atmosphere, a refined but cosy setting, authenticity, a pleasant welcome - this coffee shop is much appreciated.

Carefully selected, pampered, roasted just right, then savored with delectation. This is the journey of Kawa, the psychotropic and stimulating energizing beverage... that you'll enjoy at Cerise. Each bean is roasted on the premises, and then passed through the percolator once ground - only 100% Arabica local coffees. Thanks to Valentin and his team for opening the doors every morning in a warm and welcoming setting overlooking the Garonne River and Pont-Neuf. Smart tip: brunch isn't just on Sundays!
