AU FIN CAFÉ
Read moreAu Fin Café is one of the oldest stores in Rennes. An address that breaks away from the hustle and bustle of the city and fills our olfactory senses with the aroma of coffee. Inside, large jute bags filled with green coffee beans await roasting. More than a dozen coffees are offered to customers, with one highlighted each month. The shop also offers no fewer than 185 different teas. We've fallen for the black bergamot tea with cornflower petals. To accompany these beverages, enjoy a selection of artisan chocolates. The welcome is warm, the advice well-informed, and you'll discover coffee makers you never knew existed.
LES CAFÉS FÉLIX
Read moreA roaster for over 20 years, Cafés Félix is one of Rennes' finest coffees. You'll find them in some of Rennes' finest restaurants, including Oh my Biche, Cope, Angello, IMA, Symbiozh, Origines and Chez P'tit Louis. On Wednesdays, you can also drop by the Marché Sainte-Thérèse for an early-morning espresso and share a slice of life. Félix carefully selects ethical and sustainable coffees. His main concern is taste, of course, but above all respect for man and his environment in the producer country (he visits the plantations whenever he can). Then he blends and roasts to reveal smooth, gourmet aromas.
SAVEUR Ô NATURELLE
Read moreTea lovers, this is the address for you! Push open the door and you'll find yourself in a tiny boutique tucked away in the Rue des Carmes. Discreet and uncluttered, it's well worth the detour. Scott Laurence and his brother have taken up the challenge of opening a boutique that is accessible, ethical and 100% organic. Saveur O naturelle is an independent organic tea/tisane brand that respects working conditions and carefully selects products from the four corners of the globe. Buying a product allows you to support its Team Ethical label, which prohibits child labor. Here, we like to let ourselves be carried away by the good advice of passionate people and let ourselves be taken in by the story of these exotic plants.
