Wondering where can I find decaf coffee in Paris?
The good news is that you can find decaf coffee in Paris in just about EVERY cafe :-)
I’m Australian, and when I lived in the USA I mostly heard people asking for decaffeinated coffee as “deekaf” (decaf), so when I moved to Paris I got used to hearing people order “deh-kah” (deca) in most cafes. Different pronunciation, but available most places
If you want to order deca in a Paris cafe, here are a few ways to do so:
How to order:
I would like one decaf coffee please.
Je voudrais un café décaféiné s’il vous plaît.
OR – Je voudrais un déca s’il vous plaît.
It’s also acceptable to just say these phrases:
- un deca, s’il vous plait (tip: SVP stands for s’il vous plait – “please”)
- deux deca, SVP
- with milk – Je voudrais un café décaféiné avec du lait, SVP
Please note, deca coffee is made with coffee beans, not instant coffee powder found in other countries.
Are you American, or used to Starbucks Decaf?

Be adventurous, try French Cafes
If you’re used to going to Starbucks, why not enjoy French cafes and the French communities in little districts?
You never know who you might meet and chat with :-)
Have fun!
Will this help you find decaf in Paris?
These are just a few of the options.
So how about you? Have you found any decaf in cafes you’d like to share? I’d love to hear about them. Please do let me know:

I’m often asked where to find Latte in Paris, and ten years ago it wasn’t possible.

Le Loir Dans le Theiere Cafe / Restaurant
My old-time favourite Tea House / Salon de The
Le Loir Dans le Theiere became one of my favourite places when I lived in Paris in the late 1980s, and I’ve heard that the name of this Tea Salon came from an unlucky dormouse which was thrown into a teapot during the Mad Hatter’s feast in Alice in Wonderland story.
THE DORMOUSE IN THE TEAPOT
3 rue des Rosiers – 75004 Paris
Monday to Sunday 9 a.m. to 7.30 p.m.
Now in 2017, I still visit this gorgeous tea salon when I am in Paris each year, and I want to share it with you. This warm and cozy space is decorated with trinkets and knick knacks (odds and ends) and the aroma of the delicious gourmet cuisine (pies, large salads) wafts by and makes the mouth water. Keep an eye out for the dozens of pastries which include the incredible lemon meringue pie and the chocolate fondant cake.
Come weekends, it’s hard to find a spot to sit as the place is filled with tourists who come for brunch. You may find yourself waiting for quite some time, so remember — you can’t make a Reservation, so come early (well before noon) or you may have to wait in the street.
I personally prefer this quaint corner during the week, when there are fewer tourists and crowds. Have fun – let me know if you check it out!

Today I was walking along Rue Saint-Maur and almost walked past this little café, but the blackboard sign outside made me want to go in :-)
The girls here are from Slovakia, Italy and Mexico, and offer gluten-free delights as treats or lunch (closed for dinner).
After chatting with the Barista to see how they make their coffees, I ordered a double-shot latte and was really, truly pleasantly surprised! Made with arabica beans, real fresh milk (not long-life milk like the average French cafe) and tasted great! Woohoo!
Do drop by and have a look if you’re in the area — their menu is fresh and sounds delicious.
Cafe: THANK YOU MY DEER
Located at: 112 Rue Saint-Maur, 75011 Paris
Open: 8:00am to 6:00pm
Update: 9 Sept 2015
I popped back to this café this morning for “P’tit Dej” (Petite Dejeuner = breakfast), where there’s a variety of gluten-free muffins and and cakes, home made granola, and eggs – yum!

I’ve been researching great little cafes off the beaten track in Paris, which have little gardens are are situation in a garden, rather than the typical Parisian cafe which is on the footpaths or sidewalks of this beautiful city.
I will be adding more information very soon – approximate pricing, a photo and other tips. In the meantime, if you get a chance to check any of these out, feel free to send me a photo, video or selfie and I’ll add it to my site if you’re ok with that :-)
