Endroit très agréable, calme et reposant. Personnel sympathique. Les gâteaux et différentes boissons sont très bons. Coup de cœur pour le chai latte.

Une pause dans le temps à Avallon, très bonnes boissons chaudes, on peut flâner, très beau concept reliant l’herboristerie avec le café. À visiter si l’on passe par Avallon ou y aller souvent si l’on habite dans la région.

We stumbled across this cafe /roasters while wondering around Avallon in search of speciality coffee. Julie was a wonderful, knowledgeable host and we’d recommend that you visit.

C'est LE lieu qui manquant encore à Avallon. Café et excellents gâteaux sans gluten, espace jeux pour les enfants, ambiance détendue au milieu des fleurs. Même si tout n'est pas encore en place, on sent bien tout le plaisir que l'on va prendre dans cet endroit pour discuter, travailler, se détendre, faire des rencontres…
