A happy meeting between a bookshop and a tearoom, this new Toulousian address is likely to capture the hearts of lovers of fantastic epics and sweet treats. Indeed, the charming “Second petit-déjeuner” tea room and bookshop is a unique place that seems to have come straight out of the Shire of the Hobbits. In this cozy cocoon, open since mid-October, you can escape for the time of a gourmet read. Because we never say no to a “second breakfast”, especially when it’s accompanied by a good book, this is the perfect place for an adventure without leaving the Pink City.
A journey to the heart of fantasy literature awaits you at the “Second petit-déjeuner” tearoom and bookshop.
If you’re dreaming of the serenity of the Shire, then this is the place for you. Indeed, the cozy “Second petit-déjeuner” tearoom-library immediately immerses you in a warm, intimate universe. As the geekiest among us will have guessed, the name of this bookshop dedicated to the imaginary is a direct reference to the famous phrase from the hobbit Pippin. By the way, did you know that the little creatures of the Shire like to eat up to seven meals a day? An excellent philosophy!
Le Second petit-déjeuner specializes in fantasy genres. You’ll find a careful selection of science fiction, fantasy and fantasy. If you’re a fan of the works of Tolkien or C.S. Lewis, you’ll love it. And because for the founders of the place the community (of the ring?) is an important value, “goûters-rencontres” including readings, signings and exchanges with authors will be organized.
The good taste of home-made pastries to savour while reading
After the effort (of reading!), the comfort. And yes, this café-library offers a fine selection of gourmet foods. We wouldn’t expect anything less from a place baptized “Second Petit Déjeuner“! Here, pastries are king and the choice is often renewed, but always homemade.
Homemade brioche, carrot cake or chocolate cookies… Pev pâtisserie’ s meticulously-crafted sweet treats are sure to please. Hot beverages (Pumpkin Spice/Chaï Latte) complete the sweet picture. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy your sweet booty and your book!
And if you like tearooms with a little extra soul, don’t hesitate to discover Canithé – a dog-friendly tearoom in Toulouse – or this Harry Potter tearoom in Labège.
