The iron awning curving over the storefront of Mokxa at Place de la Croix-Rousse dates back to the days when this corner served as a bustling neighborhood pharmacy. While the glass vials and apothecary jars are gone, the space maintains a connection to the intense chemistry of roasting coffee beans. The proprietor, a former engineer, traded industrial blueprints for the precise temperature curves required to pull a consistent espresso. He started the operation in a small garage before settling into this storefront.
