Overview

Coutume opened in 2011 on Rue de Babylone in Paris's 7th arrondissement, founded by French roaster Antoine Netien and Australian Tom Clark. Netien was named Meilleur Torréfacteur de France that same year by the Comité Français du Café. The original 170 m² space — a converted kebab shop — combined a public roasting bar with siphon, cold drip and La Marzocco Strada espresso service, and built one of the first wholesale routes for specialty coffee in Paris, supplying 60+ bars, restaurants and hotels across the city.

Known for

  • Co-founders Antoine Netien (Best Roaster in France 2011) and Tom Clark
  • Pioneers of Paris third-wave specialty coffee, opened Rue de Babylone 2011
  • Public roasting bar with siphon, cold drip and La Marzocco Strada at flagship
  • Wholesale supplier to 60+ Paris bars, restaurants and hotels
  • International expansion to Tokyo (Aoyama 2016, multiple Japan locations since)

Why it matters

Coutume helped invent the modern Paris specialty coffee scene at a moment when French cafe coffee was, by Netien's own admission, mostly Cafés Richard and Lavazza. The wholesale route — building a network of 60+ cafe and restaurant accounts willing to serve traceable single origin — is the infrastructure on which the rest of Paris third-wave was built.
