COEUR – THE HEALTHY GROCERY STORE IN THE HEART OF PARIS

Categories : Eating, Lifestyle, published on : 5/1/25

An organic, local, and friendly grocery store in the 11th arrondissement of Paris

Only a short walk from Hotel FABRIC, this new and authentic address is making hearts beat in the 11th arrondissement: Épicerie Cœur. Nestled across from Square Gardette, this charming local shop brings together commitment, deliciousness, and community spirit.

Cœur is, above all, the passionate project of Léa and Andrés Mejia, a French-Colombian couple driven by a desire to share their values, their roots, and their love for quality products. After winning over coffee lovers at their coffee shop Léandrés in the 9th arrondissement, they decided to settle in eastern Paris with one goal: to create a neighborhood grocery store that is responsible and inspiring.

A committed, organic, and local grocery

At Cœur, you’ll find everything that’s good — for both the body and the planet. The shop offers a wide selection of organic products, available in bulk or sourced from sustainable farming, all carefully selected directly from local producers and independent artisans. You’ll find cereals, cookies, dried fruits, legumes, dairy products, honey, jams, jarred meals, natural wines, ciders, teas, coffees... as well as eco-friendly cleaning products and sustainable cosmetics.

Coffee naturally holds a special place here — roasted every two weeks by Andrés himself, using beans carefully sourced from Colombia. It creates a strong connection between their two ventures and reflects a passion they love to share with their customers.

Léa and Andrés collaborate with networks like Réseau Vrac and Vrac’N Co, advocating for more ethical and sustainable consumption, with a strong focus on transparency and product quality.

A warm and welcoming community hub

But Cœur is much more than just a grocery store. It’s a lively neighborhood space — a place where you come not just to shop, but to chat, exchange ideas, discover new flavors, or sip a coffee while looking out onto a green square. The soft, plant-filled decor invites you to slow down, browse the shelves at your own pace, or chat with Léa and Andrés, who are always available to share advice or the story behind their products.

Their ambition? To make Cœur a true meeting place for locals, curious passersby, and food lovers — all in a simple, sincere, and human spirit.

Open every day from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Just an 11-minute walk from Hotel FABRIC.
