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.
