Café Des Iles
Café Des Iles roasts in Victoria, Mahé.
Overview
Café Des Iles describes itself as Seychelles's only premium and specialty coffee roastery, operating from Providence on Mahé. Founded by Vincent Boullé, it brings dedicated specialty-grade roasting infrastructure to an island archipelago whose coffee culture has historically been built around Italian-style imports for resort F&B.

Why it matters
Seychelles is functionally a luxury hospitality economy with no domestic coffee production, and the country's cafés overwhelmingly serve imported Italian-style coffee. Café Des Iles is the only operation rebuilding the inverse story — actually roasting on-island — and stands alongside Mauritius's Café de Chamarel as one of the only Indian Ocean island roasters of any scale.
