Want to know the best places for coffee in:
- Marseille
- Aix
- Bouches du Rhone – La Ciotat, Arles and Salon?
The ‘myprovence’ website has listed places that are noted for their excellence – they have done this to dovetail with the new ‘Café In’ expo at MuCEM in Marseille (see previous post).
The counter at Cafeism…one for the list to try!
As far as Aix is concerned, I was pleased that they have included Mana Espresso, a top quality café run by two dynamic Britanniques. But there are two new to me – Cafeism, near the cathedral and noted for its patisseries and cookies maison, and Le Creamy Café, great name, near cours Sextius. This one offers gourmet sandwiches and pancakes at teatime. Miam as they say locally! The link has all the details of addresses and opening times.
I can highly recommend Cafeism (formerly known as Coffee to Go – I’ve been going there for 4 years). The guy who runs it is so passionate about coffee and US friends from Paris tell me it’s the best coffee they’ve had in France. The flat white is excellent and there are so many choices.
I went when it was Coffee To Go….has it changed? Perhaps I need to go back again!
