Family style cafe which used to be the ticket office. Feels like im in the living room of someones house. Cozy and not to mention the amazing croissants

If you're seeking a charming spot to stop, then this little cafe gem is the place. Adorned with antiques and overseen by a friendly owner, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We were fortunate to be greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked homemade apple pie, which turned out to be absolutely delicious.

A beautiful new place which was once the old train station. To anyone looking for a quick coffee stop and a croissant, I highly encourage you to visit this sweet shop. :)

We had a very pleasant experience here at the Café. We have been camping in les Bossons for two summers now and always plan to visit en route to the station but didn't get the chance. Anyway we had drinks and a pain au chocolat and they were all very tasty . Service was excellent, and the books and games are such a lovely touch! It is clear a lot of love has gone into the decor and the place feels cosy and quaint but also clean and you can pay by card. Merci!

Excellent cafe Visited a number of times for coffee, lunch and takeaway baguette. Very friendly staff (who didn’t judge my poor attempt at French!) Excellent croque Monsieur and croute and the cakes were fabulous

Great stop (is a old station) for coffee and lunch before you hit the tunnel!! Lovely place!!!

so cute and wholesome, very lovely people and great pain au chocolates.

This is a charming and chic coffee place with a beautiful antique design. It’s a great spot to grab a coffee, enjoy some pastries or cake, but it’s less suited for a heavier meal.
