Paysanne sits just off the main drag in Boonville - a compact stop for strong coffee, handmade ice cream, and a few carefully chosen pastries. It’s part of the Boonville Hotel crew, and that same stripped-back, quality-first mindset carries through.
The interior is small and casual, with just enough room to grab a seat or hover while waiting for your order. Outside, tables in the front and back catch sun or shade depending on the time of day. It’s a spot people pass through without a rush - whether they’re headed to the coast or just pausing on the way home.
Coffee runs strong, including a proper European-style americano. The affogato is a standout - vanilla or cookies n cream ice cream under a shot of espresso. Other flavors rotate but tend to stick to the classics. The pastry case is tight but focused: veggie quiche, cannelé, a sharp cheddar biscuit.
Paysanne keeps slightly irregular hours and doesn’t take Apple Pay - two things locals know to plan around. But those small quirks are part of the rhythm here. It’s not a scene. It’s just a good place to stop, especially if you like things done right and without fuss.
