What we’re about
Kind Coffee Paris
Honest Conversations & Gentle Connection
TL;DR: A mental well-being meet-up for English-speakers* in Paris
Kind Coffee is a bi-monthly gathering in central Paris that brings together thoughtful, kind-hearted people in a safe, friendly, alcohol-free space.
Our values:
- Respect
- Kindness
- Open-mindedness
- Inclusivity
Life gets busy, cities get noisy, and most conversations stay stuck on the surface. Kind Coffee is for people who want to slow down for a moment and talk about what’s really going on — in a way that’s honest, open, and not too heavy.
We’re not afraid of deeper topics (quite the opposite!), but we want to explore them with care and balance. Before each meet-up, we’ll invite everyone to suggest conversation topics, then we’ll vote on one or two to focus on together.
Example topics:
- Is everyone secretly lonely, or is it just me?
- How do you stay soft in a city that asks you to be sharp?
- Are we all just winging it when it comes to dating?
- Why is purpose so hard to pin down, and does it even matter?
- What actually makes a friendship last?
- How do you know when you’re being true to yourself?
A few gentle guidelines:
- This isn’t group therapy or a debate club.
- Let’s steer clear of politics, religion, and the news cycle.
- Maybe don’t monologue about your job (unless it’s truly fascinating!)
- We simply won't tolerate any hateful behaviour.
- Kind Coffee is a safe space for all. We hope you’ll make meaningful connections, but please don't come with the goal of flirting or picking someone up. Respect for others' boundaries is essential.
***
We’ll keep the events small (max 12–15 people) and meet in cafés. So please do order at least a drink to support the venue. In warmer months, we might also organise the occasional outdoor event.
All backgrounds, nationalities, ages, gender expressions, and orientations are welcome.
Conversations will be in English (unless everyone happens to be French-speaking).
We’d love to see you there.
*You don't need to be a native speaker to join — just comfortable enough in English to take part in a conversation.
