Your neighborhood living room for art & coffee
La Daronne is more than a coffee shop. It’s a warm corner of the neighborhood where paint-splattered aprons, half-finished canvases, and the sound of steaming milk all live happily together.
Whether you come with friends, colleagues, family, or on your own, our guided painting sessions are designed to be relaxed, social, and completely beginner-friendly. You focus on enjoying the moment; we take care of the materials, the guidance, and of course—the coffee.
- Small-group workshops led by local artists
- Cozy café atmosphere with specialty coffee & tea
