Ambiance cosy et chaleureuse. Simplicité et authenticité pour une pause gourmande en plein coeur de la rue piétonne de Meaux, une belle découverte que ce coffee shop restaurant art et culture, j'y reviendrai avec plaisir.

I went to the Éthique Café on a Saturday, and despite the crowd, I had a great time. I waited about thirty minutes for my order, but it was worth it. The banana bread was delicious! The team of baristas was a bit overwhelmed, but they still did a great job. The café is beautifully decorated and has two levels, making it very pleasant. You place your orders at the counter and receive a small device that buzzes when your order is ready. I wish them great success and will happily return. Btw I did not see any disabled access to the second level and its boutique area.

Très grand coup de cœur pour ce tiers lieu café restaurant en plein centre ville de Meaux. Ma copine et moi avons mangé un rougail dakatine végétarien, le plat était fabuleux. Autant les saveurs, la sauce, la cuisson tout y était en parfaite harmonie. Coup de cœur également pour le fondant au chocolat qui est frais, coulant, doux et pas écœurant. L’ambiance est chaleureuse et conviviale, tout ce qu’il faut pour se sentir comme chez soi et oublier presque d’être dans un lieu public. Le service est rapide et le personnel est aux petits soins, accueillants et bienveillants. Merci pour votre initiative qui se démarque largement des autres commerces. Je reviendrai sans hésiter.

Nous avions réservé l’Ethique Café pour un brunch à l’occasion des 40 ans de ma sœur. Le brunch était très bon et le personnel très sympathique. Le lieu ayant été privatisé pour l’occasion, nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis comme chez nous. La musique, le gâteau et le champagne ont contribué à la réussite de cet anniversaire surprise. Je recommande fortement l’Ethique Café !
