Our Story

Garçons de Café is the beautiful aftermath of what happened when three French traveling friends were united by their big dreams, expensive tastes and their love of California.

Their passions joined to set up shop in Downtown Los Angeles, and to bring the United States the most exquisite products of what France is known to do best.

All products of Garçons de Café are proudly made in France
