Where can I find decaf coffee in Paris?

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.

In case you’re wondering, yes, I did try decaf in the USA and in Paris, and now that I’ve done that I never need to do that again for the rest of my life :-)

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 – I would like a decaf please. >> Je voudrais un déca s’il vous plaît.

It’s also acceptable to just say these phrases:

1. un deca, s’il vous plait (tip: SVP stands for “s’il vous plait” – “please”)
2. deux deca, SVP  (two  decaf  please)
3. with milk – Je voudrais un café décaféiné avec du lait, SVP
4. OR – I’d like a decaf with  milk please. – 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 usually drink Starbucks Decaf?
