Scheduled to open in November 2025! Once Upon a Tea is an independent coffee shop in Maillezais, designed as a place to relax, get to know other people and discover new tastes.
The establishment offers a careful selection of quality coffees, teas and infusions, accompanied by homemade sweets and Sunday brunches made with fresh, local produce.
The ambience is warm, natural and soothing, inspired by the cocooning world, encouraging you to take a break and enjoy the simple pleasure of sharing a good moment. The space is designed to welcome both regulars to the village and visitors passing through, in a human-scale setting where authenticity takes pride of place.
In addition to the restaurant, Once Upon a Tea has developed a boutique offering a selection of teas, coffees, crockery, regional products and gift items for sale, to extend the experience at home.
The aim is to make Once Upon a Tea a must-visit local place, combining quality, well-being and pleasure, where every visit becomes a gentle and inspiring interlude.
