Kaffein Review
A cozy café with a sunny terrace & nice snacks
We used to have two really good coffee shops in L2A, but sadly this year one of them turned into a generic chain fast food place, so thank heavens we still have Kafféin!!
Jessie and her friendly team, which include her family, serve excellent coffee, snacks and smoothies on their sunny terrace and cosy café with mezzanine floor all year round.
New for this season, they have just introduced gluten free muffins, which I was very happy to sample today, and can report that they tasted delicious and I couldn't have told the difference from their other tasty blueberry or chocolate ones on the menu.
It shows they are forward thinking and listen to customer feedback - Tescos dedicated one of their Christmas ads this year shown repeatedly on UK TV soley to gluten free food, so obviously there is a market for this, but it's still hard to come by in cafés and restaurants in most ski French resorts. They also do organic coffee, decaf and a great breakfast with French pastries. They have free WiFi too.
It's lovely to sit outside in the sun today, but if the weather is snowy, they also have a large semi rigid transparent awning, so you can still enjoy a bit of French pavement cafe style people watching :)
Whilst enjoying my muffin I just saw the receptionist from the best hotel in town pull up in their hotel minivan and take away a tray of take out coffees back to work - there's a recommendation for you I guess!
You'll find Kafféin near the centre of town, on the main street between the big Marche U supermarket and the tall Diamant apartment building.
