Is it a market study?

It is the local part of one, the part your bank or investors expect in your business plan: competition, prices, offer, population and access around your address. We do not produce revenue forecasts.

Where does the data come from?

From our own database, built and checked by hand by our team, café by café: prices, equipment, roasters, services, openings and closures. Updated every day, it is the most complete and up-to-date database on specialty coffee in Paris. We add our community reviews, aggregated Google ratings, INSEE population figures and Île-de-France Mobilités station entries.

Can I get a study for any address in Paris?

Any address within Paris city limits (the 20 arrondissements). We only cover Paris itself: no suburbs, because that is where our data is complete.

Does the study include rents or revenue?

No. We do not have reliable data on rents or on shop revenue, and we would rather say so than guess. The study focuses on competition, prices, offer and access.

Is my project kept confidential?

Yes. Your address and your concept stay between us. We never contact the shops around you about your project.

Is the study available in English?

Yes, the report is written in English or French, as you prefer.

By bank transfer, once we have confirmed the scope by email. The report is delivered after payment.

Location study for opening a coffee shop in Paris

Know your street before you sign the lease.

We track every specialty coffee shop in Paris: prices, quality, offer, opening hours, roasters, openings and closures. We turn that data into a location study, the local market study of the exact address you are considering, so you can decide on facts, not on a hunch.

Our independence comes first

Our ranking of coffee shops is never for sale. Studies are a separate service: commissioning one gives no visibility on the guide, and the shops we analyse are never told who asked.

No commitment: we get back to you within 2 business days to discuss your project.
