Our story · Since 2014

From bean
to beyond.

Velora comes from velours — velvet. It's the texture we chase in every cup, the feeling we design into every room, and the reason we began.

Manifesto

Elevated rituals,
crafted with intent.

We source exceptional beans, roast with precision, and design every detail to move you — from the first aroma to the last sip.

Our roasters log every batch: bean density, moisture, development time. Our baristas calibrate grind to the micron each morning as the Paris humidity shifts. Then we forget the numbers, and simply pour something beautiful. That is the Velora way — science in service of feeling.

Our journey

A decade of
devotion.

First bag of Velora coffee
2014

A tiny atelier on Rue du Bac

Two friends, one second-hand roaster and a stubborn belief that Paris deserved coffee as considered as its pâtisserie.

Green and roasted coffee beans
2017

Direct from the farm

We began buying directly from growers in Huila and Yirgacheffe — paying well above Fairtrade, visiting every harvest.

Maison Opéra bar
2019

Maison Opéra opens

Our flagship salon on Rue de la Paix: arched ceilings, a marble bar and the first pour of Velora No.7.

Eiffel Tower
2023

Salon des Étoiles

A mezzanine facing the Eiffel Tower and our first pâtisserie kitchen, led by Chef Inès Laurent.

The future of ritual

Zero-waste roasting, a carbon-neutral supply chain and the Velora Circle — rewarding the people who make us who we are.
