Sound and Coffee is a coffee shop and listening bar in the Passage des Panoramas, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. It can be hired in full for up to 60 guests, or in part from 20 guests, for afterworks, team off-sites, client cocktails, product showrooms, talks and private parties. The room is built around a vintage hi-fi system and a private collection of 15,000 vinyl records.
Seminars and company events
The venue says it was designed for privatization and lists the uses it targets: company afterworks for teams, clients and partners, team seminars and off-sites, client cocktails and launch evenings, product showrooms and press presentations, talks, masterclasses and round tables, and shoots, podcast sets and recordings. A talk or a masterclass here takes place with the hi-fi system, so the sound is part of the setting. The site states a quote within 48 hours and asks for the date, time slot, number of guests and format.
Because the capacity is 60 at most, the venue fits a leadership off-site, a brand evening or a team afterwork rather than a conference with a large audience.
Weddings and receptions
The site lists birthdays and intimate weddings among the private events it hosts. The venue is not a wedding estate: it is a small coffee shop with a bar, so it suits a reception or a drink after a ceremony for up to 60 guests. A DJ set is possible on request, and the playlist can be built from vinyl records to match a brand or a mood.
Rooms and capacities
Total privatization goes up to 60 guests. Partial privatization starts from 20 guests, and the site describes the upper floor as the part that can be booked alone. The ground floor has a small lounge corner arranged like a living room. Slots run from Tuesday to Saturday, by day and in the evening. The site states that capacities are on request, so the exact layout, seated or standing, should be confirmed in the quote.
Catering
The venue serves specialty coffee by day and, from Thursday to Saturday, wine and cocktails in the evening. For events it offers custom cocktails, cheese and charcuterie boards and dips. The site names organic and short-supply-chain suppliers for its bakery and sandwiches. Ask what is available for a seated meal, since the menu is built around boards and small plates.
History and setting
The venue opened in 2025 in the Passage des Panoramas, one of the oldest covered passages in Paris, with glass roofs and wood paneling. It takes its inspiration from Japanese jazz kissa, listening cafés that appeared in Tokyo in the 1950s. The founder, a former French Touch DJ, opened his collection of 15,000 records to the public here. The room has parquet, walnut walls, vinyl covers on display and a ceiling treated for acoustics.
Getting there
The passage is a few minutes on foot from the Grands Boulevards, Bourse and Opéra districts. The closest metro stations are Grands Boulevards (lines 8 and 9) and Bourse (line 3). Event requests go by email to the address on the privatization page.
