About

Substance Café is a small shop on Rue Dussoubs focused on a guided coffee tasting experience. Founders Joachim and Alexandrine manage the space, which operates on a reservation basis. Guests sit at a U shaped bar to sample a rotating menu of rare coffee lots. Joachim prepares espresso and filter coffee using his own roasts, often explaining his techniques and flavor profiles during the visit. The shop is dog-friendly and does not serve food or accommodate laptops.
