Prélude café

Very nice and cozy coffee shop in the heart of the city, close to the market.
Staff is very friendly, food is delicious, hands up for the daily lunch menu with veggie option and the homemade sweet delicacies.
Coffee is quite good, sourcing from several roasters in Europe, but could easily be improved.
Good work guys! Keep it going!

Delicious specialty coffee and cakes. They have a wide variety of cakes, even gluten free cakes. I loved the canneles and the nice smiling staff. I would definitely recommend this cafe if you're in Rouen.

We came around 1 pm. The cafe was packed with locals. The staff is very friendly, he asked if we want to order first and sit at the outdoor while waiting for a free table inside. Not long, maybe less than 10 minute, he came back to say that 1 table is ready for us. We ordered the green udon with smoked haddock fish and poached egg (forget the original name, sorry) and IT WAS VERY GOOD.. everything was perfect about the cafe.. the coffee is good too, the first good coffee we had in Rouen :D we had a good chat with the staff about coffee.. we had an excellent time and love this place!

Very satisfied! Lunch menu with only three choices (no need for more), all deliciously scented and tasting. Novel approach without falling into the trap of pretentiousness. And without unnecessary food miles. Very good desserts too. The staff very friendly. Highly recommended.

Obviously a popular place in the area and soon after receiving our coffee and cakes it was clear why.
The quality and care for their coffee is obvious, and their cakes are home made rather than bought. In a daily varying selection you’re always in for a surprise here, but always a good one.
The staff are a happy bunch too.

Went for coffee and pastries and it was a great experience. Excellent service, lovely coffee selection and many brewing methods available. The “pain perdu” was delicious. The venue was super cozy and hip. A must in Rouen for coffee lovers.

Really nice little coffee place and nice people working there. The breakfast food isn't very rich in diversity, but it's extremely delicious - we had avocado toast and they also had some granola bowl. They have a wider array of cakes, including gluten free carrot cake :)

The best breakfast that you can ever have in Rouen. A very unique experience full of flavors.Their tarte is amazing. the presentation of the food make it even better. the stuff is very helpful and ready to explain to you in detail all of their unique deserts

In a lovely square, quiet, with shade. Best cake I had in France, not too sweet with sour cream, orange, and pistachio :) would come again next time!

A beautiful little coffee shop tucked in à quiet and sunny square. Everything is homemade and delicious. I had the cannelé (pretty hard to get right), and it was really good!

This is my favorite coffee shop in Rouen, place is really amazing and they serve very delicious bowls and amazing coffee.
Weekly twice is my routine to go to this shop. Its been a great reception by the team.
Great ambience and amazing menus, will make a worth to spend your time and money
Good place for working with your laptop as well. It has a lot of positive vibes.

The coffee, the food, and the service are fantastic here. One of the only places in Rouen that is happy to speak English. The baristas are the perfect blend of friendly and efficient (which is rare in France ;) ). The flat white pictured was delightful and the cake was so good I couldn't stop myself from taking a bit before snapping a photo. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a break AND they have coffee to go, a mythical treasure here!

A fantastic third wave shop in the heart of Rouen! They are a multi roaster that clearly cares about the coffees they serve. When I visited they were serving La Cabra (Copenhagen, Denmark) along with other European third wave roasters.

Very nice healthy food bistrot in the center of Rouen. Everything's home cooked and everything is super good. Prices are fair.

Perfect!! Flat white salvador amazing! 🤩

Great coffee, very good banana bread, and tasty yogurt with granola and fruit. The cinnamon rolls were good, but a bit dense and served cold. Overall a nice experience.

Love it over there. Their hot drinks and choice of pastries.
