About SUBSTANCE CAFE

Substance Café is a specialty coffee shop and micro-roastery in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, where coffee takes centre stage. Owner, roaster and barista Joachim prepares each coffee with a focus on clarity, flavour and the character of its origin. The café roasts in-house on a Loring S7, using an ultra-light roasting approach designed to preserve the distinctive qualities of each lot. At the counter, guests can explore espresso and V60 preparations, discover carefully selected coffees and discuss brewing techniques directly with the person roasting them.

The experience is deliberately intimate: seating is limited to the bar, and coffee tastings require a reservation. For specialty coffee enthusiasts, Substance offers a closer look at the relationship between origin, roasting and extraction.
