ARAKU COFFEE

The new boutique is beautiful and cosy! Really the place you're looking for in the Marais Area.The coffee is always delicious, whatever choice you want.The baristas are friendly and smiling, they're super cool!

I ordered cafe latte. It was very good and staff was so kind. I wanna drink others later.

I had matcha latte at terrace, but it did not taste like matcha at all, more like barley grass (青汁 in Japanese). Maybe they mixed matcha powder with the healthy" green powder

Les gâteaux ne sont pas bons et très chers. Le cake au citron était sec et le glaçage écoeurant et le cookie pas cuit. Heureusement que la vendeuse était sympa.

Trop bon le carot cake et le matcha glacé... Concentré avec des ingrédients de qualité !Bon accueil, malgré le stress du vendeur (parce qu'il était tout seul) mais il restait gentil et souriant.Cozy.

After a train journey from Amsterdam, I found myself craving a well-made cup of coffee. Araku Coffee was a haven that exceeded my expectations. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the immaculate and inviting space – all white and impeccably clean. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, providing an immediate sense of comfort.The barista was warm and welcoming, greeting me with a friendly smile. My order was taken promptly, and within minutes, I was presented with a carefully crafted cup of filter coffee. The service was not only swift but also attentive – it's evident that the staff at Araku Coffee truly care about their customers' experience.The coffee itself was exceptional. The taste was rich, smooth, and aromatic, highlighting the skill of the barista and the quality of the beans used. It was served in a beautiful cup, adding a touch of elegance to the overall experience. The attention to detail in both the coffee and the presentation is remarkable.In a world where rushed service and mediocre coffee are all too common, Araku Coffee stands out as a haven for coffee enthusiasts. I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone who appreciates good coffee, served with genuine hospitality in a welcoming environment.

Nice coffee place and good service - but no decaf coffee.

Excellent coffee shop qui distribue un seul et unique terroir exclusif celui provenant d'une vallée indienne. Ce café est excellent, l'accueil au top. Attention ce n'est pas un salon de thé/café au sens traditionnel du terme, c'est avant tout une boutique d'accessoire et de café. Néanmoins vous avez la possibilité de prendre un café à emporter et le siroter dans le jardin du temple qui est à 100 mètres. A conseiller si vous êtes un grand amateur de crus de cafés.

This place should be more highly rated — hands down.There are many cute coffee shops around (it's Paris, after all). But while they may look it, they're not all perfect. This spot, though. Oh, man. Better than just about anywhere in LA (and this morning I can confirm, consistent!). I finally ordered a flat white at this spot...quick note on that...Cappuccino vs. Flat White:While I didn't ask how it was at this particular spot and didn't shift from my first home-run choice at all, many cappuccinos in the area seem to be larger (more like a latte at home) and/or with one shot, while flat whites are often separately advertised as two shots and cost around 0.50 more at most places for that reason. So a little different than in the U.S. (which is probably better, since the difference in the U.S. is often confusing or arbitrary at best, and certainly is inconsistent between shops). But I went with the flat white at this spot from the first try, and it was perfect. Like a perfect third-wave cappuccino at home, but even better. Strong, not too acidic, excellent flavor. Worth a proper review, here.Also, very kind staff. I didn't try the food (pastries), but may have to just to update the review more thoroughly...we'll see what we have time for this trip.Seating:Cute shop with a lovely design and gorgeous wood bench inside. I'm sure it gets busy at some point, but I'm here during PERFECT summer days (not too hot, amazingly), and there's always been a little space to work here. Giant sliding doors are always open during open hours (and good weather, I imagine) and help the airy feel inside. Seating outside on small 1-2-person benches works perfectly if it does get busy inside and is probably what you really want to do to enjoy Paris, of course.If you're local, they have a great shop selection obviously made by someone who cares. Everything is a bit subjective, but they definitely have some of the (if not, THE) best versions of various coffee tools (Moccamaster coffee makers; affordable but very effective DeLonghi and Breville espresso machines that some might be snobby about, but that really are great; classic pour-over and French press options, etc. — just what one might need once they decide to get themselves something for home).Ten stars for this shop. It's on my list for future trips :-)

Have been going back to Araku for a while. Always go for the flat white. It’s perfect. Today tried their matcha. Same, perfect. The staff is lovely and sweet! I’ve been loving their golden milk too!
