Make Your Home Feel Like a Charming Parisian Café with Anthropologie's New Kitchen Collection

If your summer dreams include sipping espresso under striped awnings in Montmartre or serving flaky pastries on delicate dishes beneath a blooming window box, Anthropologie’s new Café Violette Collection was created for you. With its soft summer shades, hand-painted designs, and vintage coffee shop aesthetic, this 22-piece collection captures the timeless charm of a Paris sidewalk café.

At first glance, Café Violette feels like a love letter to the French countryside, full of whimsy, nostalgia, and romance. Each stoneware piece is hand-painted, giving the collection a distinctly artisanal feel. While the pieces are functional enough for everyday use, they’re beautiful enough to leave out on display. Here's what to look for if you're trying to capture the European summer aesthetic in your own home.

About the Café Violette Collection

Soft hues like Butter Yellow, Petal Pink, and Taupe appear across many of the dishes, creating a warm and welcoming palette. Lavender and robin’s-egg blue pop up in accent pieces like the Sugar Bowl, offering subtle variety while maintaining a cohesive look. The scalloped edges and floral motifs feel timeless and trend-forward all at once, like something you’d find in a vintage market in Provence, but with the durability of modern stoneware.

Espresso Cup & Saucer

Whether you're a morning coffee enthusiast or someone who just loves a pretty table setting, Café Violette has a piece for every part of the day. Start with the Espresso Cup & Saucer, a top-rated favorite that pairs beautifully with a fresh croissant. If you're hosting friends for brunch or dessert, the Handpainted Ice Cream Bowl is the ideal size for berries and cream, while the Large Serving Platter makes a stunning centerpiece for pastries or charcuterie.

The Mug is a standout for everyday sipping—available in all three signature shades and just the right size for tea, coffee, or even a cozy hot chocolate. For something a little more fun, the Berry Basket offers a charming twist on classic produce storage, ideal for rinsing and serving fruit in one stylish step.

One of the most delightful surprises? The Maeve Stoneware Pour-Over Coffee Maker, which makes your daily brew feel less like a task and more like a ritual. With its dusty rose finish and clean silhouette, it blends seamlessly with the rest of the collection and adds a splash of sophistication to your countertop.

Stainless-Steel Spoons

While the hand-painted stoneware may take center stage, the supporting pieces deserve just as much attention. The Embroidered Cotton Napkins feature a delicate floral pattern in soft pastels, while the Stainless-Steel Spoons add a vintage feel to your flatware drawer, perfect for serving jam or stirring an afternoon café au lait.

The pieces are dishwasher safe, making them easy to use every day. And with Anthropologie’s signature attention to detail, the mix-and-match potential means you can build a collection that reflects your personal style.

There’s something magical about creating small rituals in our daily routines, pouring a fresh cup of coffee or lighting a candle at breakfast. This collection leans into that magic, reminding us that beauty can be found in the smallest moments.
