[1] Angelina is known primarily for its almost pudding-like hot chocolate (chocolat l'Africain) and for its Mont Blanc dessert.

The tea house was founded in 1903 by the Austrian confectioner Antoine Rumpelmayer (1832 – 1914), and originally named eponymously "Rumpelmeyer".

In 1982, the tea house welcomes the cast of La Boum 2 to film some scenes for the movie with actors Sophie Marceau and Denise Grey.

The original café is at the Tuileries, located at 226 Rue de Rivoli in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

Another tea house opened recently at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne.
