Cuppa Coutume Cafe Coffee, watercolor, 9" x 11"
On Monday, Paris photographer Carla Coulson posted where to get a decent cuppa of coffee. Though I'm always on the lookout for a decent cuppa hot chocolate, I thought I better show you brand new Coutume Cafe (opened just in March) PDQ.
Patisserie Raider Louise said we must go...
Luckily we had a poster explaining what to look for whilst tasting...
Coutume Cafe is a new concept in decor (pared down) and the beans are roasted onsite by co-owner Master torréfacteur (best roaster) Antoine Netien.
Pick your beans...
Then head to the lab - front counter to watch US barista Kevin Ayers to make your cup to order...
The process is enthraling...
The results: prefection.
Bubble, bubble...
Co-owner Aussie Tom Clark is onsite and happy to answer all your coffee questions.
Cafe Coutume is in the 7th a quick sprint from Le Bon Marche on 47 rue de Babylon.
Oh why did I leave my petit pain au chocolats (pastries are from FAB Patisserie des Reves)? I'll have to go back soon.BON WEEKEND!
