Best coffee in Bordeaux - Najboljša kava v francoskem Bordeauxju



Bordeaux wasn’t my love at first sight. Arriving at the train station with lots of construction works and taking a walk to the city centre didn’t impress me much at the beginning. But right when I found myself in the little streets of the old city centre, it became a nice sunny summer getaway. Once I stepped in the cosy SIP, the best coffee place in town, I knew I was charmed.

V Bordeaux se nisem zaljubila na prvi pogled. Po prihodu na železniško postajo, polno prahu in gradbenih del, in sprehodu do centra mesta, nisem bila preveč navdušena. Ko pa sem se končno znašla na ozkih ulicah starega mestnega jedra, se je Bordeaux spremenil v simpatičen poletni izlet. Ko sem stopila v SIP, najboljšo kavarno v mestu, sem bila očarana.



Just a step away from the City Hall and the beautiful Bordeaux Cathedral, this café couldn’t be better placed. Hidden from the hustle and bustle of a big city and all the tourists, it makes the perfect spot to chill, talk and enjoy.


Lokacija te kavarne ne bi mogla biti boljša – samo par korakov stran od mestne hiše in čudovite bordojske katedrale. Skrita je od živahnosti glavnega trga in turistov, kar jo naredi res simpatično za pogovor, počitek in uživanje.




Their homemade cakes look so great it is difficult to resist them all. Even more, the way they showcase them is simply beautiful. The attention to details in this coffee place made the biggest impression on me. Everything has its place and yet doesn’t look superficial. Little objects all around make the place very unique, be it beautiful dry flowers on the tables or a pile of magazines and books that nonchalantly sit on the counter. My favourite? The water fountain! I have never seen a more beautiful one!


Njihove doma narejene torte izgledajo tako dobro, da se jim je težko upreti. Poleg tega jih razstavijo na čudovit način z uporabo različnih podstavkov za torte, ki v raznolikih velikostih, višinah in barvah krasijo kavni pult. Pozornost za detajle v tej kavarni je name naredila največji vtis. Vse ima svoje mesto, ampak ne dá občutka prevelike organiziranosti. Majhni predmeti vsepovsod naredijo to kavarno res posebno. Posušene rože na mizah, kup revij in knjig, ki nonšalantno sedi na kavnem pultu… Moj najljubši del? Vodna fontana




Last but not least, the staff is very nice. They took the time to talk to me about their special coffees, the way they prepare them, and the cake master even gave away a little recipe secret for the carrot cake I simply adored! When I come back to Bordeaux, this will be the first place I will go to before heading for the Mirroir d’eau, Stone Bridge or some wine testing.


Nenezadnje - osebje kavarne je res simpatično. Vzeli so si čas za pogovor o njihovih posebnih vrstah kave in načinu priprave. Mojster tort mi je celo zaupal mini nasvet za pripravo korenčkove torte, ki je bila moja najljubša. Ko se naslednjič vrnem v Bordeaux, bom najprej spila kavo v tej luštni kavarni, preden se odpravim do Vodnega ogledala (Mirroir d’eau), Kamnitega mosta ali na pokušanje vin.

  1. Waaau, zgleda ČUDOVITO! :) in super, da je bilo osebje prijazno - če niso, je to lahko veeelik turn off.
