Brunch is much more than just a meal—it's a time to relax, share special moments, and indulge. While we often spend time choosing what to eat, we sometimes forget that the drink is just as important.
A perfectly brewed coffee, a delicately flavoured tea or a rich, velvety hot chocolate does more than simply quench your thirst. The right drink enhances the flavours of your meal and transforms a good brunch into a truly memorable experience.
Why is choosing the right drink so important?
We naturally focus on what's on our plate, but the drink deserves just as much attention. It can bring freshness, balance a generous meal, or highlight the flavours of your favourite dishes.
At Mlle Potts & Co, our drinks menu has been carefully crafted to satisfy every taste—from coffee lovers and tea enthusiasts to those looking for comforting classics or something a little more adventurous.
Whether you prefer a savoury, sweet or balanced brunch, there's a perfect drink waiting for you.
The Golden Rules of the Perfect Pairing (Savoury vs Sweet)
🍳 More of a Savoury Brunch Fan?
Eggs, toast, cured meats and cheese call for drinks with enough character to complement their rich flavours without overpowering them.
Flat White: With its silky microfoam and smooth yet slightly bold coffee, the Flat White offers just the right amount of intensity to pair beautifully with scrambled eggs.
Cappuccino: A timeless classic. The perfect balance of espresso and steamed milk softens the saltiness of bacon or cheese while adding a delicious creamy texture.
Grand Yunnan Impérial Tea: The ideal choice for tea lovers. This full-bodied yet smooth black tea pairs wonderfully with egg-based dishes while letting every flavour shine.
🍯 Prefer Something Sweet?
Mini pancakes, maple syrup, homemade granola and cookies deserve comforting drinks that extend the sweetness of every bite.
Homemade Hot Chocolate: The ultimate treat for chocolate lovers. Rich and velvety, it's the perfect companion for our fluffy mini pancakes.
Caffè Latte: Smooth, creamy and comforting, it pairs perfectly with homemade granola and buttered toast without any bitterness.
White Vanilla Tea: Aurélie's favourite. Its delicate vanilla notes naturally enhance the flavours of honey and jam while remaining wonderfully light.
🥞 The XXL Brunch Option
If you're settling in for a long, generous brunch with friends or family, choose a drink made to be enjoyed slowly.
Filter Coffee: Served in a coffee pot, it's the perfect excuse to pour yourself another cup and savour brunch at your own pace, just like at home.
Chai Latte or Thé Merveilleux: The Chai Latte awakens the palate with warming spices such as cinnamon and cardamom, while Thé Merveilleux, with its caramelised almond and pistachio notes, accompanies your brunch right through to the last bite.
At the Heart of Our Coffee House: Mlle Potts & Co Signature Drinks
Looking for something a little different? Mlle Potts & Co offers a selection of unique drinks that are well worth discovering.
Matcha Latte: Its vibrant green colour hides a smooth, plant-based drink with delicate, slightly grassy notes. A wonderful alternative to coffee for a natural energy boost.
Golden Milk: Made with milk and aromatic spices, Golden Milk is warm, comforting and perfect for anyone looking to discover new flavours.
London Fog: A delicious blend of Blue of London tea and steamed milk foam, creating an elegant and comforting drink that's especially enjoyable on cooler mornings.
Dirty Chai: For those who enjoy bold flavours, the Dirty Chai combines the warming spices of chai with the richness of an espresso. A drink full of personality.
