What you should know about Belleville Brûlerie.
Belleville Brûlerie is best known for being founded in 2013 by Brice Robin, Christophe Servell, and David Flynn, three leading figures of France's emerging specialty coffee movement, who established one of Paris's first independent specialty coffee roasteries dedicated to direct sourcing, seasonal coffees, and transparent relationships with producers. Roasting every coffee in Paris and earning international recognition through partnerships with world-class cafés, Belleville Brûlerie has helped redefine French coffee culture by championing traceability, lighter roasting profiles, meticulous quality control, and educational initiatives that connect consumers with the origin, processing, and terroir of every coffee they serve.
