Artesano Coffee Paris: Mexican Specialty Roaster In The Marais
New Coffee Shop
Artenso Coffee
ARTESANO Specialty Coffee Roaster is the latest shop to open in the Marais, founded by Arturo Valentino, a Mexican photographer, barista and roaster.
Five Star Ristretto
On the hunt for a new coffee shop location nearby, I was knee-deep in Google Maps when I happened upon Artesano. I KNEW this location was not here before I left for the summer. So, I grabbed the girls and wandered over.
Luminous & Next To The River
As the afternoon shadows filtered through the trees, Artesano caught my eye immediately. You can throw a stone in the river Seine from here. But she's tucked away neatly from the traffic.
ARTESANO is the expression of coffee as a culture, where lifestyle and know-how can meet.

Stay Grateful & Humble
Closed Monday and Tuesday for roasting, and one hour mid-day for Arturo to take lunch, Artesano is a work of passion.
Seven years after Valentino landed in Paris, ARTESANO Specialty Coffee Roaster was born. It is a store dedicated to Mexican specialty coffee in which Arturo, trained in roasting by the Specialty Coffee Association. Here, he shares his own vision of coffee, from the selection of the green bean, roasting, extraction, to the tasting.
I ordered a ristretto during my first visit. I remember Arturo casually raising his eyebrows at me. He appreciates coffee enthusiasts. Taking my first sip, it was a dream in a tiny cup. And I knew I had found a new caffeinated home. Click here or on the image above to view my video.
