le café throwback

Word of mouth is my favorite way of finding out about a new spot—a personal recommendation beats any guidebook.

And Monsieur Madame pours it in one of the most delightful settings.

In French, le café refers to both the drink and the place where you sip it.

Luckily, the third wave of coffee and its small batch, indie goodness has hit France. In Marseille, that wave has crashed with Coogee.
