What Lomi is known for
Paris coffee company founded in 2010 in the 18th arrondissement by Aleaume Paturle and Australian barista Paul Arnephy; runs a Rue Marcadet cafe and boutique, a barista school, and a roastery now based in the Drome.
Lomi operates three connected businesses under one name, all detailed on its own site: a coffee shop and boutique at 3 ter Rue Marcadet in Paris's 18th arrondissement, a training facility next door at 3 bis Rue Marcadet called École Lomi, and a roastery — described as 'torréfacteurs certifiés,' certified roasters — located outside Paris in Le Poët Laval, in the Drôme region. The company frames this structure as a deliberate three-part model: 'café, formation et équipement, le triptyque Lomi' (coffee, training, and equipment, the Lomi triptych), positioning itself as a working coffee-education hub rather than a café that happens to also roast. Sourcing is described as long-term relationships with selected producers, with the site stating that 'each harvest expresses a terroir,' language that ties the shop's retail coffee back to the school's technical training rather than treating the two as separate operations. For a visitor, that combination is the distinguishing detail: the 18th-arrondissement address functions simultaneously as a retail shop and the public face of a barista-training operation whose actual coursework and roasting happen at two separate, named locations rather than behind a single counter.
