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?
This map shows locations of Starbucks in Paris:
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:

Join me for the Over 40s Lazy Adventure in Paris
This Over 40s Lazy Adventure in Paris is for people who don’t want to rush around Paris like mad tourists — hot, tired, exhausted – and looking to get away from other tourists.
Photos all © Teena Hughes – A-Night-in-Paris 2008-2009
2024 — Dates: September – October (to be confirmed)
Here’s the scenario:
You want to visit Paris but you don’t feel like buzzing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, constantly travelling on public transport, getting sore feet with all the constant walking, getting jostled in the crowds, perhaps even feeling out of place.
This is my daydream of being in Paris, spanning a couple of days:
- be met by a mini-bus at the airport who’ll take you to your hotel
- enjoy a Champagne Cruise on the River Seine the first night, and a Welcome Dinner in a delightful restaurant
- have late breakfasts
- do a bit of shopping
- have morning and afternoon teas in cute French tea salons
- maybe see a movie or wander down a delightful street in “hidden Paris” far from the tourist crowd
- take a barge cruise under and around Paris for a couple of hours
- drop into a pub you’ve walking past in the afternoons for a refreshing beer, glass of wine or a cocktail
- and then have a lovely dinner with lots of laughter whilst getting to know the other people sharing the same adventure
- on the last evening we’ll have a celebratory Farewell Dinner
- after breakfast the next morning, you’re free to use the Airport Bus already arranged for you, or head off to more adventures of your own.
Sound like the type of relaxing break you’d like?
We’ll do a smaller version of this dream :-)
Please note:
- there will be no visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre or any other tourist destination
- there will be no standing in queues for any touristy thing – ever, ok?
- there will be no running, rushing or being out of breath
- there will be no stressful metro, instead we’ll use buses and taxis, barges and boats
- there will be lazy walking, strolling, sitting in lots of cafes and restaurants, enjoyable laughter and a general sense of well-being all-round – are you ready for that?
- Good, now let’s have some lazy fun!
What’s included in this One Day Adventure?
There are a variety of ways to fill our day, please choose one of these potential settings:
Meet and greet coffee or tea is included in a delightful Paris cafe
- 3 hours on a Barge Cruise which goes around and UNDER Paris
- having fun whilst exploring the hidden Paris
- visiting several of the ancient covered Passages
- having an adventure in a classic French car, the 2CV (Deux Chevaux, 2 Horse)
Price for 2024 … $US (to be confirmed shortly)
The Lazy Paris Adventure lasts for one Day, and the choice of Settings will be decidedd before we meet.
Dates: September – October (to be confirmed shortly)
What’s not included?
- Your expenses in getting to Paris.
- Accommodation in a Paris hotel (which may include breakfasts at the hotel)
- Meals, drinks and all other expenses not included above.

What do I do differently after living in France?
When I left Australia for a six week holiday many years ago, I had no idea I would end up in Paris, stay there for 3 years, and pine for her every day since I left.

Wish you had a naughty Paris coffee mug?
Today’s your lucky day :D I was thinking I’d like my own naughty Paris coffee mug, so came up with a few ideas – let me know if you’d like to suggest any others.
Imagine finding these on the kitchen bench OR your office desk every morning :D
- 11 oz Ceramic mug
- Dishwasher and microwave safe
Multiple Coffee Mug Sayings
- Bonjour Bitches
- Bonjour Asshole
- Bonjour Ta Gueule S’il Te Plait (Shut up! Please!)
Sturdy Packaging for Shipping
Left AND Right Handed Mugs :-)
What’s so great about owning a naughty Paris coffee mug?
- These cheeky coffee mugs feature charming and witty phrases using French and English words guaranteed to add a dose of humour and “joie de vivre” (joy of life) to your morning routine.
- Drinking from one is sure to result in an immediate smile, or even a good chuckle – and you don’t want to miss out on THAT! :-)
Comments from Happy Coffee Mug Owners:
- “Sipping from my cheeky mug never fails to start my morning off with a smile. The charming sayings and witty phrases are a delightful pick-me-up to go along with my coffee.”
- “Each time I use my hilarious coffee mug, I’m reminded of my fabulous friend who gave me this gift – they know I love Paris, they know I am naughty, and their ability to find such a ‘me’ present is why I adore them!”
- “Even on the most hectic days, grabbing my favourite cheeky Frenchified mug full of amazing rich flavourful latte made with Italian robusta coffee beans helps me keep perspective (with a smile and a laugh). I might have bought this for myself, but it feels like having a certain someone’s playful sense of humor right there with me.”
- “What a clever way to spread laughter! This was the perfect surprise gift from a dear friend, and I’m still laughing every time I look at it! I’ll have to pay the cleverness forward by finding an even better, clever gift to make my friend laugh too!”
- “The daily dose of irreverence from my coffee mug’s quips infuses my routine with unexpected laughter. Using it brings me spontaneous grins whenever I need them most. Its charm and cheekiness never fail to hit the spot!”
