Wooded decor, a large fireplace, and draped tartan patterns, all wrapped in the aroma of coffee… Welcome to Ralph’s Coffee Paris<\/strong>! After New York, Hong Kong, and London, Ralph Lauren expands its barista universe to Paris<\/strong>, much to our delight. Today, we invite you to discover this new Parisian spot, perfect for a cozy afternoon treat as the year comes to a close!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dive into the Ralph Lauren universe with Ralph’s Coffee Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Head to 173 Boulevard Saint-Germain, in the 6th arrondissement, to explore the new Ralph’s Coffee Paris location. Following several notable editions of its coffee truck<\/strong> that made stops in the capital in previous years, the brand opened its first permanent caf\u00e9<\/strong> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ralph’s Coffee Paris joins the flagship store and the Ralph Lauren restaurant<\/strong>, both located in a stunning private mansion in Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s. This creates a complete immersion into the luxurious and warm universe of the American brand. Much like the Yves Saint Laurent caf\u00e9<\/a> and Dior caf\u00e9\/patisserie<\/a> we previously introduced, Ralph’s Coffee Paris aims to immerse the customer in the brand through a unique experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, caf\u00e9 locations from fashion houses have become real assets for brand visibility<\/strong>. While some approach it with a temporary vision, like Jacquemus and its flower caf\u00e9<\/a>, others fully integrate it into their operations, like Maison Kitsun\u00e9 with its Kitsun\u00e9 caf\u00e9<\/a>, and here, Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed as “a meeting place<\/strong> to take a break after a long day,” Ralph’s Coffee reflects the creator’s memories, through addresses that embody the warm and timeless DNA<\/strong> of the house. After a first location opened in 2014 in New York, the concept has captivated the world<\/strong> with its carefully selected coffee and effective (and very Instagrammable) brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover a Warm Meeting Place at Ralph’s Coffee Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its opening, Ralph’s Coffee Paris has been attracting attention with its large window, through which a warm and cozy spirit<\/strong> emanates. The iconic logo of the Ralph Lauren barista branch, rendered in gold, elegantly adorns this facade, complemented by a caf\u00e9-style curtain reminiscent of Parisian brasseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our entrance is through the main hall, granting access to the Ralph Lauren restaurant and boutique. During this festive season, we discover a majestic and sophisticated decoration<\/strong>, which has also made its way into the new caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind its glass doors, we find a cozy atmosphere, where lively discussions in various languages mix with the sounds of coffee machines and the clinking of spoons savoring cookies, brownies, and other carrot cakes down to the last crumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously dedicated to the brand’s watches, the space has been adapted to welcome Ralph’s Coffee Paris while preserving an authentic and vintage DNA<\/strong>, characteristic of the brand’s universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caf\u00e9 reveals itself charmingly, in a decor featuring elegant dark wood paneling<\/strong>, which is also found at the counter. A play of light and perspective is created with large mirrors and a white ceiling. Meanwhile, green, symbolic of coffee, makes a grand and elegant appearance through a striking green marble fireplace<\/strong>, as well as in the menu and coffee machine, carefully chosen in the same hue. All of this is enhanced by a large chandelier, leather chairs, and stunning drapery in tartan patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team dressed in striped shirts and white and green caps completes the creation of this universe. And of course, we find the iconic Ralph’s Coffee mugs<\/strong> to enjoy your coffee at the table, or branded cups if you wish to take it to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place is mesmerizing, and all our senses are awakened by the aroma of coffee and the sight of the delightful cakes under glass cloches<\/strong>. One small drawback: the space is quite limited, so it\u2019s wise to be strategic about when you visit if you want to snag a cozy spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste Ralph Lauren’s Brownie at Ralph’s Coffee Paris!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We discover a rather tempting menu, allowing us to enjoy a coffee-croissant before work, or a chai latte-carrot cake for an afternoon treat. You can also try the organic coffee blends<\/strong> from the house, roasted by La Colombe (known for its ethical commitment), particularly the Ralph’s Espresso at \u20ac3.90. Two other specialties are featured on the menu, including the Ralph’s Hot Chocolate<\/strong> at \u20ac7, and the Ralph’s Brownie at \u20ac6, which follows Ralph Lauren\u2019s recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To extend the experience at home, you can purchase their ground coffee<\/strong> or dishware!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shall we meet for coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
