LOBITA Marché
Inside Biarritz's Halles Centrales food market, LOBITA Marché is a specialty coffee counter pulling carefully made flat whites, noisettes and espresso tonics for shoppers doing their morning round of the stalls.
The story
The name translates as "little she-wolf", though it is meant as an affectionate, familiar way of addressing someone, and the wolf returns on the "La Louve de Biarritz" t-shirts Lobita sells. This counter is the market outpost of Lobita, which also runs Lobita Atelier elsewhere in town. The setup is serious: La Marzocco and Mahlkönig equipment, and beans from The Roasting Party, a local roaster, also sold by the bag alongside SAGE home machines. Milk drinks are the strength, from flat whites and cappuccinos to iced coffees, with a smooth americano and espresso tonic for those who take it black. Cheesecake rounds things out, and the baristas keep the line moving quickly even on busy market mornings.
