Honduras Las Lomas

Australian expat coffee professionals founded Partisan around 2013 near the Palais Royal in Paris's 1st arrondissement, bringing Melbourne's specialty coffee culture to a city that was still in the early stages of its third wave awakening. The roasting philosophy sits in a deliberate middle ground between Nordic light and traditional French styles, with beans sourced through direct trade from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Rwanda. The cafe at 43 Rue de Montpensier has a Parisian meets Melbourne aesthetic with marble, tile, and plants, and it doubles as one of the city's best known brunch destinations with Australian staples like avocado toast, granola bowls, and poached eggs alongside exceptional flat whites. Over ten years in, Partisan has become part of the Paris specialty establishment, known for consistent quality, multilingual service, and a welcoming atmosphere that draws both expats and locals. Beans are available for retail and wholesale, and an online shop handles delivery.
