| Last reviewed: May 2026 Founded in 1880 at 256 rue Saint-Honoré, Verlet is the oldest artisanal coffee roaster still operating in Paris, and one of the few that still roasts on premises. The 1920s salon is preserved, wooden cabinets of single-origin beans, jars of rare teas, a counter where pâtissier Carl Marletti's classics arrive daily. Over 30 single-origin coffees and 40 teas. The Coutume / Telescope / Belleville Brûlerie generation gets the third-wave press; Verlet is the source it argued with. For a visitor who wants the version of Paris coffee that survived two world wars unchanged, this is it.
Editor's Tip
Since 1880, in the same shop. A few steps from the Palais-Royal, buy whole beans for the trip home.
