Terres de Café

St-Germain & Les Invalides


'Roasted with goodness' is the strapline of this specialist coffee roaster whose pocket-sized coffee shop on ave de la Bourdonnais is the perfect bolthole after scaling the Eiffel Tower or picnicking on neighbouring Champs de Mars. Grab a pew at one of five tables inside or admire the barista's latte art over a cappuccino on the pavement terrace in front.

Beans are sourced from farms and small producers in local co-ops. Organic juices, quiche (€9), soup (€6) and a sweet choice of loaf cakes too.
