Bordeaux. Coffee

While the parents slowly sip their coffee in any of the local top speciality coffee shops, children can enjoy lemonade or home-style ice-tea. Those who have a love for coffee and at least a little bit of love for their kids (just kidding!) have two main destinations in mind in this city. One is “Horace” where adults can treat themselves with a cup of coffee and maybe a sandwich or a piece of cake and children can enjoy home-style lemonade of the day or some ice tea. The other one is „l’Alchemiste”, which I consider the most stylish and probably the best coffee spot in the area. Here you can enjoy lemonade made from fruit grown not farther than in a 40km radius of the shop – it will astound you. If the latter offers both lemonade and a selection of cakes along with coffee, then “Horace” during weekends turns into place where you should stay away from cappuccino (unless you enjoy some nice and flat 5-minute foam, that is), instead – go for anything else, here you will find the best breakfast in town. And don’t forget to book a table. Overall, both of these spots offer excellent coffee – espresso, cappuccino, syphoned or filtered coffee. The possibilities are endless and you will never get bored, because how can you get bored of perfectly made coffee.
