a roaster that actually roasts, not just a café that slaps a bag on a shelf. grain de café on rue de budapest sits in a part of nantes that doesn't ask for your attention, which means the people who find it usually mean to be there. you're not stumbling in because it's on the tourist circuit. the regulars here are consistent enough, and vocal enough, that the reputation has built without any obvious push behind it. independent roasting at this scale in a mid-sized french city takes a kind of commitment that tends to show in the cup eventually. whatever's on the menu when you visit, the filter is worth the detour.
