Mazarine

Inspired by the story of the Bibliothèque Mazarine (the first public library in France), Iranian-born Hamid Rafati wanted to open an impactful community space of his own. In 2013, his love for French culture, democracy, and human connection culminated, and his coffee shop, Mazarine, was born. On your next visit, bring a book or a good friend and order an artisan cup of coffee and a fig and ricotta toast – you won’t regret it.
