Meeting with Shirley, founder of Café Berry
Hello Shirley, who are you?
I am the founder and chef of Café Berry in Paris. I am a curious entrepreneur and passionate about food.
How did you come up with the idea of creating Café Berry?
I always knew that I wanted to create a place of life and encounters. During my stay in Philadelphia and New York, I discovered a cuisine based on health and natural products.
This trip opened my eyes to a new way of life. We are what we eat ! This impact of ingredients on the body fascinates me!
As soon as I returned to Paris, I wanted to create something that makes sense. A simple, healthy, and above all gourmet cuisine in a universe that suits me.
Future or current developments for Café Berry?
At Berry we like changes, we are constantly evolving and creatively bubbling. It is both thrilling and exciting. At the moment, we are working on a refurbishment of the cafe and an optimization of the kitchen.
Can you tell us about the Café Berry and Hygée partnership?
We change our menu regularly, adapting to the seasons both for drinks and for the menu.
I like to associate Hygée adaptogens with drinks, it makes it easier for customers to discover them. It is possible to buy Hygée products at the café. For us, Hygée corresponds to our values and fits perfectly into Berry's philosophy.
What are your first impressions of the products?
First of all, I'm a fan of the packaging, clean and clear, in line with our image. I immediately liked the product! Clear and easy to use! Made in France, natural association, there is traceability and that's reassuring.
I started a cure of Serenity ! And it was a revelation! It saved my nights :) The taste is very pleasant! And you can use it in many ways. I like to take it pure with a little lukewarm water.
My routine at the moment: 1 teaspoon of Serenity every night before going to bed. It really soothes me and gives me a real night's sleep! It was not won!
In the morning, I like to mix 1 teaspoon of Immunity into my drip coffee. The taste is quite neutral but the benefits are felt quite quickly.
I like to combine Hygée powders with different ingredients and play with textures. Recently, I cooked energy balls with Immunity powder, it was divine!
The final word ?
Take care of yourself and above all eat well on a daily basis. It helps to feel good. It is the cycle of true well-being and food is the basis for the body but also for the mind.
Healthy food and gluttony are compatible. To convince yourself of this, go to Berry at 10, rue Chapon - 75003 Paris. Also take a look at their pretty Instagram page: @cafe_berry_paris_
