Brown: coffee shop in the Marais serving Spritz-to-go

Located on rue de la Verrerie, Brown shakes up the codes of the neighborhood café with an inventive menu, meticulous service and a few unexpected finds.

The Marais is home to a new address to remember for lovers of specialty coffees: Brown. Located just a stone’s throw from the Hôtel de Ville, this cosy coffee shop has already established itself as the perfect spot for a gourmet break in the heart of Paris.

In an area dominated more by pastry shops than coffee bars, Brown stands out for its selection of organic coffees from microbreweries. At the helm, Kevin, a passionate barista, currently offers two distinct origins: a Honduran coffee, with chocolate notes perfect for milky drinks, and a fruitier Colombian coffee, ideal for espresso. Each cup is carefully prepared and can be personalized with a wide choice of plant milks.

Charcoal latte, spritz to go, and minute waffles

But Brown‘s real strength lies in its ability to innovate without becoming gimmicky. The charcoal latte, a blend of vegetable charcoal, black sesame and ginger, is as famous for its taste as for its aesthetic appeal. A gray, glittery hot drink that borders on food art. For lovers of freshness, Spritz to go is prepared on site and bottled in front of you. Served in a transparent can, this cocktail is ideal to take with you on a Parisian summer stroll.

Another detail that makes you smile: the toutouccino, a milk foam dedicated to your four-legged friend. Because he too is entitled to his moment of sweetness. On the sweet side, the cookies are soft as can be and the homemade waffles are served hot. They complete a simple but perfectly executed offer.

A must-try

With its rounded mirrors, warm colors and comfortable seating, Brown manages to combine high standards of taste with a welcoming atmosphere. An address designed for true coffee lovers, but also for the curious who like to get off the beaten track.
