Totto sur Bordeaux

26/03/2026: As a big fan of specialty coffee, I was in Bordeaux last weekend and took the opportunity to check out this place, but it was a disappointing experience. On paper, it all looked promising: a very attractive menu with coffees and teas that seemed to be of high quality. You could tell there was real potential and an interesting selection. Unfortunately, several things spoiled the experience. First, the place itself gave a rather cluttered impression, especially with boxes visible at the back of the shop. For an establishment that offers drinks at relatively high prices (around €9 for 400 ml of tea), you expect a more refined setting. Second, and this is the most important point for me: the coffee served didn't meet the standards of specialty coffee. I ordered a double espresso, which should normally be around 36 ml, and I ended up with a much fuller cup, closer to a lungo. This gives the impression that the basics aren't being followed. Finally, the menu lacks essential information: no details on the aromas or profiles of the coffees offered. Yet, this is precisely what makes specialty coffee and the tasting experience so appealing. In short, this is a place that could be excellent given its selection, but as it stands, it doesn't live up to its promise.

27/02/2026: Simply the best coffee in Bordeaux! A huge variety of coffees, excellent pastries, and lovely staff. Note that, unlike some other cafes, it's not a workspace. The menu could perhaps be redesigned as it's not very user-friendly; but I'm just nitpicking.
