In the Panier district, quality coffee (espresso, long black, macchiato, flat white) and cinnamon buns, or "cinnamon rolls", are in the spotlight. In addition to the flowery decor resembling a New York loft, there is a fine selection of pastries (scones, muffins, cookies and mini cakes of all kinds).

Le Café en Bois is a little gem that hides in the heart of Cours Julien. Here, the coffee is 100% organic and ethical. The selection changes with the seasons and the mood of the manager. The menu also offers snacks such as homemade granolas or gluten-free cakes. An address worth the detour!
Black Bird Coffee
The Black Bird Coffee very quickly became an institution in the Cours Julien district. Its eclectic and vegetal decoration is a real breath of fresh air in the heart of the city center. On the menu, the coffee is signed Café Luciani or comes from Brûlerie Moka. There you will also find pastries, carrot cake, fruit juices as well as“homemade lunches and all this, served with a smile!
Deep Coffee Roasters
At Deep Coffee, the coffee is roasted on site by the team! Light to medium, it is done in such a way as to keep the specific taste of each terroir. The grains come from afar: Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Brazil… And to accompany your cup, opt for a pastry, a cookie or even a lemon and poppy seed cake.

Ginger Art & Coffee offers a nice selection of coffees, available in all forms (espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, Japanese matcha latte, etc.) as well as a menu dedicated to sweet and savory dishes (wholemeal bread with honey, homemade cake, fromage blanc with honey, vegetable soup, pie…). Ginger Art & Coffee is definitely worth the visit!
O'Clock Coffee
Welcome to O’Clock Coffee, located on boulevard de la Corderie. On its sunny terrace or in its pleasantly decorated room, this café in the Saint-Victor district offers many variations of lattes and cappuccinos. The baristas have fun between the different types of coffee, the different dosages and the different types of milk (whole, semi-skimmed, concentrated, soy or even almond) and always end their work with a nice personalized drawing. Great latte art!
Torréfaction Noailles
The Torréfaction Noailles coffee shops are the right addresses for lovers of coffee and other hot drinks. The most legendary is on the most famous avenue in Marseille, La Canebière. Here you will find many coffee varieties. Among them, those of the Marseille brand Henry Blanc created in 1979 and which launched its own pods for Nespresso. You can accompany this little break with various equally excellent pastries and with with the added possibility of buying the products to create the perfect snack at home.

At the entrance to the Docks Village, right next to the Place de la Joliette, there is a super nice café, with delicious desserts: Picnic aux Docks. Sit quietly on the shaded terrace along the rue des Docks, facing the Square de la Joliette, a little cocoon in this super dynamic district that lives to the rhythm of its business center.
