The team
LAYAC is an artisanal and family business: we introduce ourselves below but we want to thank our relatives, parents, children and friends who helped us build the project and settle in!
We discovered firewood roasted coffee during a trip to Mexico, it struck us like love at first sight!
We both graduated from the Roasting and Barista school of the Caféothèque Paris , an institution in the world of specialty coffee!
Céline
She loves people, and it's reciprocal.
With PhD in biomechanics, nothing seemed to predestine Céline to become a roaster.
It was first as a consumer that Céline appreciated the coffee, perfect alibi for a friendly and pleasant break. She realized these sharing moments value in 2020 when we were all under lockdowns.
LAYAC was born from her desire for this ode to conviviality !
