As we entered 2022, more and more people opted to work remotely and began craving coffee and similar beverages from premium brands like Starbucks and Cafe Creme. So it’s no wonder that the brands selling coffee witnessed unprecedented growth in the last three years. But, with 2021 coming out as the year of resignation, is 2022 going to be the year for a premium beverage? Every other brand in the hospitality market is ready to convince consumers to expand the cafe and coffee experience. But the question is, are they? And if they are, what about the quality? Unfortunately, while most brands successfully introduce a cafe experience, they fail to maintain the quality like the cafe creme franchise. So what is it about the Cafe Creme brand that seems to attract several consumers every other day? Is it the delectable taste or the beautiful French location? There could be several reasons behind this sudden growth. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about this famous brand! About Cafe Creme: The Brand Although the Cafe Creme brand was launched several years ago, it was only a few years ago that the brand really started putting in efforts for expansion. The managing director of the cafe creme franchise, Kunal Kashikar, is responsible for consistently marketing the brand by visiting various places in the country and doing adequate research on the whole cold coffee revolution. If you are wondering what is cafe creme, instead of learning about the brand on Google, why don’t you try out the brand’s signature drunk, Kuka? The chocolate-colored website of Cafe Creme mentions with pride that the brand is currently serving a whopping six lakhs (and more on some days) Kuka glasses on average every month in more than 20 cities in the country. A paradise for chocolate connoisseurs, every outlet offers calm, modern interiors with a relaxing atmosphere for consumers. The best part about the brand is that it constantly evolves with consumers' tastes. They are always busy researching and coming up with more ways to improve the holistic cafe experience. Products The residents of Maharastra will love the fact that we recommend the cafe creme Vashi at Navi Mumbai and cafe creme Kalyan at Thane for their mouth-watering menu. But we are asking you to visit the one in Paris! If you have not checked out the Cafe Creme menu, here’s what you will find! Kuka Kuka Exclusive Creme Shakes Creme Mastani Fresh Cream Shakes Junket (Sundae) Thunders (Ice Creams) Chocolate Exclusive Choco Cremes Snacks Hot Beverages Sandwiches Cafe Creme - Best Reviews (https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/ShowUserReviews-g187147-d812150-r688576480-Cafe_Creme-Paris_Ile_de_France.html) - Reference for four reviews. As a brand that has survived the tough chocolate and premium coffee industry in Paris for many years, Cafe Creme has earned its fair share of reviews on Google from consumers across the world. Check out a few of our favorite reviews! Review By Tomer Y From Paris “Great food! I was with a friend, we took Avocado toast and salad Hallumi - both delicious! The service was fast and good. Just a long waiting line to get in on weekends.” Review By Mitch D From Bordeaux “This is a typical bistro/cafe in the Marais area. Good food, just not spectacular. The staff is really helpful. Outdoor seating and the place are always crowded for lunch and dinner. Many young people are so interested in watching the crowd and other diners. We always have lunch here when in the area.” Review By Thomas V From Oakland “Well, this is a fine cafe and a great place to sip a cup of coffee and enjoy the terrific Marais atmosphere. But we like the lunch menu and the hamburgers. Great location.” While Cafe Creme earned some stellar reviews globally, there are a few bad reviews that we could not help but notice! Here’s our favorite negative review that the cafe received. Review By Alex M From Singapore “I went there with a friend for an afternoon drink. When we arrived, the staff was not very welcoming, a bit rude. I ordered a fresh juice (cucumber, pineapple, and celery) and my friend a chai latte. I got a cucumber + water mixed drink, there was no pineapple at all for sure, no taste. My friend got a cup of hot milk with a teabag! I order chai latte very often, I have never seen this. When I asked if there was missing some ingredients in my juice, the waiter told me they could not make me a new one because the "fresh" juices were made in the morning (it was 6 pm). I changed for tea, but I had to pay the price of the juice, which was more expensive.” Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): 1. How Many Cafes In Paris? There are over 5000 (and increasing at the moment) cafes in Paris at the moment. Although Cafe Creme is one of many aesthetic locations to sip coffee in Paris yet, there’s no other place where you will find cafe creme cigars! 2. What Is French Coffee? Of course, French coffee refers to the way French people have coffee. This coffee does not have to be made with French coffee beans, and in most cases, the coffee is not even obtained from the French press. Simply put, French coffee is the espresso-type coffee drank by French people at outdoor places. 3. Do French Cafés Serve Alcohol? French cafes are not actual cafes. Instead, these are actual cafe spaces with restaurant-quality food that you can eat at any time, a complete bar, and even a fine selection of wines. The sky is the limit when it comes to Paris, and you must visit the city! Conclusion There’s no denying that Cafe Creme has managed to stay relevant over the last several years and even now continues to evolve at a fast pace. So if you are planning to visit this famous coffee shop on the beautiful streets of Paris, what are you waiting for? Visit today!
