Coffee shop · Paris 9 · Pigalle
At 3 rue Pierre Fontaine, a stone’s throw from the Pigalle métro, Crumbles opens a new kind of coffee shop. Specialty coffee roasted in Paris by Tanat, lattes made to order and crumbles assembled to order around French seasonal fruit.
Pigalle has long been associated with its cabarets and its Parisian nights. Today, the SoPi neighborhood, straddling the 9th arrondissement and the foot of the Montmartre hill, has become one of the favorite playgrounds of a new generation of Parisian coffee shops. It’s in this setting that Crumbles set up its counter, at 3 rue Pierre Fontaine, an equal distance from the Pigalle, Blanche and Saint-Georges métro stations.
Opened on September 8, 2025, the address was conceived as a neighborhood coffee shop, halfway between the local pâtisserie and specialty coffee. You come for a quick espresso before work, a latte to sip between two meetings, or simply to extend the walk on your way down from Montmartre toward Saint-Georges.
The idea isn’t to become the biggest café in the neighborhood, but to offer locals and visitors alike a simple home base: a short menu, a well-made drink and a sweet break crafted by hand, right behind the counter.
At the heart of the coffee shop menu is Tanat Coffee, a roaster based in Paris and a partner of Crumbles since the very beginning. Working with a local roaster means serving a traceable, freshly roasted coffee that shifts with the deliveries and the seasons. Each cup becomes a variation on the same commitment applied to the crumbles: carefully chosen ingredients and meticulous preparation.
The drinks menu stays deliberately easy to read: espresso, allongé, filter coffee, cappuccino, latte, iced latte depending on the season, along with a selection of soft drinks. The goal isn’t to pile up options, but to ensure consistent execution, from the Tanat bean to the milk foam. For those who want to extend the experience, the house also offers a signature ube latte, presented in detail on a dedicated page of the site.
On the hot chocolate side, Crumbles works with PLAQ, a Paris chocolatier renowned for its bean-to-bar cacao. It’s this focus on premium partnerships that shapes the entire coffee menu and rounds out the gourmet signature of the Pigalle coffee shop.
Crumbles isn’t a typical coffee shop: it’s the first crumble bar in Paris. The promise is simple, yet rarely kept to this standard: everything is homemade, on site and made to order. The compote is cooked just before service, the shortcrust pastry is rolled by hand, the custard is stirred fresh every morning. As for ingredients, the house works with French seasonal fruit and organic flour sourced from Île-de-France.
The build rests on a modular four-step system: choose the fruit, choose the base, choose the toppings and choose the crumblings. In the end, more than a hundred possible combinations, starting at €6.50. You can let yourself be guided by the seasonal Crumbles creations or dream up your own pairing to go with your café Tanat or your latte.
This focus on customization turns the coffee break into something more engaging than a quick stop. You order, you watch the crumble come together behind the display case, you pick up your cup, you settle in: the coffee shop plays its role as a breath of fresh air at the heart of the neighborhood, with the signature Crumbles desserts never far behind the counter.
The address is deliberately positioned at the crossroads of several flows of the 9th arrondissement. From the Pigalle métro (lines 2 and 12), it’s a few minutes on foot down rue Pierre Fontaine. From Blanche (line 2), the coffee shop sits on the path of anyone heading to Notre-Dame-de-Lorette or Saint-Georges. From Saint-Georges (line 12), just walk back up toward Pigalle to come across the storefront.
This central location makes the place a handy stop for locals, but also for visitors combining a morning in Montmartre, a lunch in SoPi or an afternoon of shopping around rue des Martyrs. The takeaway service lets you slip a coffee and a crumble into your bag to keep the walk going.

The Pigalle coffee shop is just one facet of crumbles paris. The house also offers event services in Paris and across Île-de-France, built on the same commitment to quality: crumble platters, a mobile bar, wedding services, client gifts. 3 rue Pierre Fontaine remains the home base of the concept, but the experience can travel to your offices, your reception venues or your private events.
If you’re planning a professional or personal event in the Pigalle neighborhood or elsewhere in Paris, the coffee shop is also the place to come and talk through the project in person, over a café Tanat. For news, seasonal recipes or upcoming dates, you can check out the blog or the events page.
This dual identity, at once a neighborhood address and an events player, sets Crumbles apart from a typical coffee shop. It extends the work done at the counter, where each crumble is conceived as an artisanal object, and each cup of café Tanat as a simple promise of quality.
Crumbles is located at 3 rue Pierre Fontaine, just steps from the Pigalle métro, between the Blanche and Saint-Georges stations. The coffee shop welcomes guests from Tuesday to Sunday, for a takeaway coffee, a latte on site or a sweet break between two strolls around the SoPi neighborhood.
The coffee menu is built around the Paris roaster Tanat Coffee, a partner of the house. Espresso, allongé, latte and cappuccino are made to order, with the same craft mindset as the crumbles baked to order right next to the counter.
Yes, it’s even the signature of the place. Each crumble is made to order around French seasonal fruit, a hand-rolled shortcrust pastry and organic Île-de-France flour. You choose the fruit, the base, the toppings and the crumblings, for a unique combination to pair with your drink.
Yes, the takeaway service is designed for the neighborhood’s quick breaks: café Tanat in a cup, a hot or iced latte, and an individual-sized crumble to slip into your bag. It’s a handy option before a class, a meeting in SoPi or a walk up to Montmartre.
Yes, it's an ideal address to break up a work day in the neighborhood. Crumbles is a local gourmet counter, designed for a short, quality pause: a Tanat specialty coffee, a homemade crumble and a simple moment, before heading back out clear-headed toward your next meeting in SoPi.
