New cafés in Marseille

Marseille isn’t just about pastis! Coffee arrived in Marseille from Alexandria in 1644, and the city subsequently welcomed its first café, situated between the Old Port and Belsunce. Since then, coffee shops have been springing up all over Marseille, and here are the latest ones to try.

Appartement.20

Inspired by New York coffee shops, Apt. 20 immerses its visitors in a warm and cosy atmosphere right in the heart of Marseille. With its Chesterfield sofas, modern décor and New York apartment vibe, this coffee shop is the ideal spot for a gourmet break over a speciality coffee. The menu showcases classic American treats: giant cookies, carrot cake, banana bread and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the perfect accompaniment to a flat white, a Dirty Chai or the house speciality, the Half & Half, a surprising blend of tea and lemonade. With its wide range of vegetarian and vegan options, Apt. 20 appeals to brunch lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike, particularly thanks to its all-day breakfast served every Saturday.

Address: 4 Rue Grignan – 13001 Marseille

Da-Yé

Tucked away on Boulevard Louis Salvator, Da-Yé is a Marseille coffee shop that draws in customers as much for its speciality coffees as for its creative and welcoming atmosphere. Behind its lemon-yellow façade lies a bright space where every detail has been carefully thought out, from the colourful drinks to the homemade pastries. Matcha, purple sweet potato ube and spirulina lattes sit alongside a selection of coffees carefully sourced by the Marseille-based roastery Möka. At lunchtime, Louise, the founder, serves generous sandwiches made with local, seasonal produce, served in delicious homemade focaccia. Moist cakes, cookies and gourmet treats round off the experience. Da-Yé is also a hub for cultural life, regularly hosting exhibitions by local artists in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere.

Address: 22 Boulevard Louis Salvator – 13006 Marseille

Ben Mouture

Located at 34 Rue du Petit Chantier, Ben Mouture is the brainchild of Benoit, a young coffee roaster who opened this lovely spot. In his coffee shop, you can pop in for a coffee at the bar or take it away, and you can also choose to work from the café, in one of the comfortable armchairs with a delicious pastry to boot!
Benoit places great importance on the origins and producers of his coffees. Some come from Brazil, Colombia or even Tanzania, and are available as beans or ground to order.
If you have any questions about preparation or storage, don’t hesitate to ask Benoit, who’ll be happy to offer his expert advice!

Au Comptoir du livre

The new second-hand bookshop and café between La Plaine and Cours Julien! Its ultra-cosy interior, with vintage furniture, décor, books and bookcases everywhere, immediately immerses you in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. You can curl up on a sofa, sipping a coffee or sampling one of the café’s homemade pastries, and why not leave with your next read? Open Tuesday to Saturday, 8.30am to 8pm, and even a little later at the weekend for those who fancy an aperitif.

Café Lauca

Café Lauca is the story of Laurent, originally from Colombia, who returned to his homeland in 2019. There, he discovered the art of coffee and the entire production process – it was a real eye-opener. In early 2021, he opened his roasting workshop in Aubagne. In August 2021, the adventure continued and Laurent opened his small shop at 68 Rue Grignan, where he sells his fair-trade ground and whole bean coffees, as well as coffee equipment and machines, which he can install directly in your home.  The shop has just six seats inside, so we recommend you come early to enjoy Laurent’s superb coffees!

La Tisserie

Back in the 7th arrondissement, and more specifically at 142 Rue d’Endoume, to tell you about La Tisserie! It’s a speciality coffee roastery that ensures full traceability and fair pay for producers. La Tisserie is also deeply committed to certain values: building links between coffee consumers and producers, offering products made by ESATs (work-based support establishments and services), showcasing local artisans through stalls, and developing initiatives to promote equal opportunities. Their coffees are also available online, but we encourage you to pop into their lovely shop to have a chat with them and perhaps treat yourself to a little something for breakfast or a snack!

Café la Muse

Open every day from 8am, Café la Muse is a great addition to the Notre-Dame du Mont neighbourhood, offering a place to work, grab a bite to eat or enjoy a coffee all day long. In the evening, the venue switches to tapas mode until 11pm for a great pre-dinner drink. The bonus: a brunch menu every day from 8.30am to 3pm.

Maison des Nines

From Tuesday to Sunday, La Maison des Nines welcomes you for breakfast, a coffee, lunch – and why not a spot of shopping? This hybrid concept, located at the bottom of Rue d’Aubagne, has been a great success since it opened a few years ago. From 10.30 am on weekdays (and 9.30 am at weekends), you can enjoy the friendly, cosy atmosphere of the place. Plant-based milk, coffee from Brûlerie Moka, teas from Lorene MilleT, a selection of homemade cakes… Enjoy your morning Mc MorNine style! A dedicated breakfast menu with warm buns and always 3–4 sweet options. Take the opportunity to discover Estelle’s expertise at the Perfume Bar, or the carefully curated selection in the fashion and lifestyle section.

La Butinerie, café and florist

Discover La Butinerie, at 103 Rue Sainte, a concept that combines flowers and coffee. Imagine yourself with a delicious coffee in hand, savouring a gourmet pastry amidst the scent of flowers and their beautiful colours. After your relaxing break, you can also treat yourself to one of the shop’s magnificent bouquets. The perfect concept for this winter.
