Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann is delighted to welcome an exclusive Coutume coffee shop in collaboration with pastry chef François Daubinet!
One of the most beautiful views to enjoy a coffee break
This new venue, named François Daubinet chez Coutume, marks the meeting of two worlds of excellence: specialty coffee and haute pâtisserie. Born from a collaboration between the fine coffee house Coutume and pastry chef François Daubinet, this place is based on the same values: technical expertise, product quality and respect for the origin of raw ingredients. All this in a prime location, nestled under the dome of the Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann.
A café-pâtisserie experience
Together, Tom Clark, founder of the specialty coffee house Coutume, and chef François Daubinet, an iconic figure on the international pastry scene, have designed this place like a true laboratory dedicated to tasting exclusive coffees and sweet treats within the Parisian department store.
On the coffee side…
Coutume offers a carefully curated selection of single-origin coffees from rigorously selected terroirs in Colombia, Ethiopia and Guatemala, roasted in the Ile-de-France region and brewed to order by baristas. Each coffee is prepared with respect for the product, and customers can purchase beans to take away directly from the shop.
On the pastry side…
François Daubinet has created exclusive creations designed to complement the coffees on offer: – L’Orchidée, a Tahitian vanilla and white coffee dessert. – L’Origine, a tribute to the common roots of cocoa, coffee and vanilla. – The signature Gianduja tart, as well as cakes, cookies and a pastry drink whose flavour will change with the seasons.
This space, designed by the architectural firm Ouvrage Paris, uses raw and noble materials to create a warm atmosphere that is faithful to the world of Coutume and the vision of chef François Daubinet. The space offers around 40 seats for visitors to enjoy a coffee break or lunch, with a selection of savoury options including salads and sandwiches.
