Buddha Bear Coffee Roaster & Cafe

Wow! What a surprise in Alma! Excellent local beer on a tap and excellent espresso! Very nice surprise after visiting the park!

This restaurant may be a bit hard to locate as it is tucked away in a corner of a pub. Look for the signs for The Holy Walbrauer. The coffee here is top-notch, although the menu options are a bit limited. The pub itself is rather dimly lit, making it a unique spot for your morning caffeine fix. Guests have the option to enjoy their coffee outside or take it to-go. However, it's puzzling that this coffee shop doesn't open until 10:00. Many patrons, like myself, prefer to start their day with a cup of coffee earlier. Perhaps they should consider opening earlier to accommodate those looking to pair their coffee with treats from the nearby bakery.

One of the best bakeries we ate at in Paris! The bread rolls are so simple yet so deliciousI highly recommend their olive rolls.

Guy at the counter was so rude! We were the first customers there and he took his time (or tried to ignore us) to serve us.

Stopping by for a drink, we found that the Buddha Bear offered so much more. This looks like a new business as they await a brewing licence, but in the mean time serve 14 craft beers or cider. Seating is outside or inside in what is a converted church. Tried a few of the beers, excellent quality and all the same $8, just varying in glass size depending on strength. Coffee is also fresh and from an expresso machine, with a large selection of home roasts and types of coffee. There is also a limited but eclectic assortment of food, cooked to order in the grill outside. Its self service once your food is ready. The food is a change from the typical tourist offerings available everywhere else. We returned later and made it our dinner spot, ordering food as we wanted. Good luck to the guys running this, as it is such a different offering to all the other places locally.
