The Best Coffee Shops In Grenoble France

The city of Grenoble is a buzzing metropolis at the foot of the French Alps in southeastern France. The glacier river Isère meanders through the heart of the city, and Grenoble’s backdrop is dramatically mountainous, making Grenoble a popular spot among holidaymakers. We’ve rounded up the top five coffee shops in Grenoble so you can stay caffeinated and ready to explore all that the city has to offer.

Coffee and Go

This cozy coffee shop lies in the heart of Grenoble’s stunning old town. This spot draws a variety of crowds, from young students to an older clientele for its excellent range of coffee and extensive list of drinks. The cafe also serves up a selection of delicious homemade desserts – their muffins are particularly popular. The inviting atmosphere encourages guests to relax and unwind, despite the suggestion in the name that this is fast and perhaps informal service. The decoration also entices customers to while away the afternoons here, with vintage decor that brings a certain rustic charm to the cafe.
