"Louis la Vache" has been absent from the blogosphere for weeks because he's been busy opening his new espresso shop, Café-Saint-Honoré. The shop opened on 15 November and has been well-received by the community. "Louis" et Mme la Vache thank all of you for your support!
0600 heures, le 15 novembre: le saint est ouvert!
Louis, sitting on his milking stool and holding a cup of coffee, greets customers as they enter.
Our first 2 customers!
On Saturdays, buy two pounds of coffee, get half a pound free!
Louis has his own blend of coffee, Melange Sainte Vache, "Holy Cow" blend, along with Carburant de Grenouille, "Frog Fuel," which has a hint of chicory. There is also Sans Plomb, "Unleaded," for the decaf drinker. "Louis" has been authorized as a Bodum distributor.
More of "Louis's" coffees. Café-Saint-Honoré offers 12 varieties, six of which are Organic Fair Trade.
As a gift suggestion, "Louis" offers the Bodum Chocolatier and Valrhona Cocoa from France.
"Louis's" collection of postcards and photos from when he lived in France are decoupaged onto the table tops.
In addition to being a dealer for Bodum, "Louis" offers cups and mugs, teapots and a line of foods from France.Café-Saint-Honoré is primarily an espresso shop, but also offers sandwiches, salads, desserts, ice cream from local favorite, Ici. The shop is open 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week and has free WiFi. What "Louis" would REALLY like to do is open a French-style boulangerie - thus the name: Saint-Honoré is the patron saint of bakers.

Ok, for a minute there I couldn't figure out where to put my comment. "enregistrez un commentaire?" Wow.
Congratulations on opening so soon. The place looks fantastic, indeed!
But where are the ratty looking chairs falling apart when you only look at them, where are all the chain smokers, and all the slow moving people making it possible for you to wait more than 20 minutes for a simple, straightforward coffee to go? ;) (Private joke for Louis) ]

You have been busy!
It's hard work, running a business, especially a new one. The shop looks great.
First glad all is well. Your view has been missed. Second, BIG congratulations on your new venture. Your cafe looks wonderful and I would love to spend hours and hours trying all your coffees.
I can almost smell the coffee from here! You've created a lovely place, "Louis." Best wishes for a wonderful success in this venture.
I *need* some Melange Sainte Vache, and a mug with your mug on it!
Louis! Congratulations! You've been a busy little Vache! Love the sign of you on your milking stool too, perfect way to greet the customers. I wish you much success!
The shop looks great!
Louis and Mme La Vache a huge congratulations to one of my favourite and most missed bloggers. In our poor economic climate it is wonderful to see such a brave new enterprise. I wish you both all the luck in the world it looks terrific. May you always be busy and prosperous. We will all want regular updates.
I am SOOO there the next time I'm in SF!!! It looks wonderful. My best wishes to M et Mme Vache for continued success!
Wow-wee, you have put a lot of thought and work into your new place! Beautiful, esp. the postcards in the tables.
Wishing you success and also satisfaction from the good that you are offering those who will come in.
This is wonderful, Louis! You have been a busy man indeed! Congrats to you and Mme la Vache on your new venture! It looks splendid and very inviting. Look forward to taking a coffee someday at The Saint on our next visit down your way.
All the best!!
Congratulations! Haven't been able to visit here as much as I would like and look what I've missed. Maybe I'll get back to San Francisco one day and drop in for a coffee.
Congrats on your new business Louis, I hope you have much luck and enjoy it. It looks like it came right out of a Van Gogh painting.
But what is the address? I'd love to be able to get an espresso there the next time I'm in the bay area.
