The MARUtCHA Latte Float 

You are probably familiar with the Matcha latte. But have you ever tried MARUtCHA’s Latte Float?

Ideal for a gourmet break in the early afternoon.

The Goth Latte from Le Pointu

This doesn’t mean anything to you? It wasn’t clear to us either, so we investigated for you. The Goth Latte is a cappuccino, with vanilla and activated charcoal. Le Pointu decided to combine indulgence with well-being in this new drink that you will find under the “Favorite” category of their menu. Known for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory benefits, activated charcoal makes this drink an ideal booster for a light start to the afternoon.

Homemade Lemonade at Sedef Patisserie 

A little hideaway in the heights of the Galeries Benjamin-Constant, you’ll need to look up in order to spot these two pastry sisters’ store. It is worth a visit! If you’re looking for a cool drink to-go, they’ll serve you homemade lemonade, and explain the origin of its recipe. On the beach at Sedef Island in Turkey, their grandmother needed to invent an appealing drink to keep the girls sufficiently hydrated while in the sun. Driven by these childhood memories, they reproduced the recipe, which can be found in a Reel on their Instagram page.

Sedef Pâtisserie / Avenue Benjamin-Constant 1 / Tuesday-Saturday 9 am-6 pm
