Since 2014, the L'Alchimiste roasting workshop has been based on the right bank in Darwin, and is a delight for all the city's "caffeinophiles".

A place for exchange, advice and tasting, L'Alchimiste also offers a selection of coffee makers, machines and grinders for sale.

The first coffee shop to open in Bordeaux (back in 2014!), the longevity of this tiny cocoon is undoubtedly due to the quality of its specialty coffee.

Breakfast and brunch join the party, with excellent pancakes or pastries, and every week new sandwiches, burgers and dishes are offered at lunch.
