Bousingot

Tucked naturally into Sendagi's streets, books&café BOUSINGOT offers a peaceful café setting among secondhand volumes. Shelves hold books relating to France alongside eclectic literary titles, inviting guests to settle in with a favorite volume while gentle background music plays.

The drink menu centers on freshly pulled espresso noted for its aroma and body. Beverages like café crème, served with warm milk, or cappuccino topped with velvety froth make natural reading companions. For varied strengths and styles, options include café allongé—a French-style lungo pulled longer and cut with hot water—and café noisette, which adds just a dash of milk to espresso.

Those craving something sweet can turn to the proprietor's handmade cakes or an affogato of vanilla ice cream finished with espresso. Beyond coffee, the menu features hot and iced chocolate drinks alongside refreshing options like diabolo menthe, a vibrant mint soda.

For a late break, settling in with beer, wine by the glass, cocktails, or whisky feels right at home in the space. Because payment is cash only, having notes or coins handy before stopping by during a neighborhood stroll is recommended.
