Score: 4/5
Best For: Posing, reading a book and feeling French
This is a great café and feels ever so French. The decor is fabulous and books line the café half of this establishment giving it a chic, slightly bacheloresque feel. It’s a little pricey (espresso, 2.00 EUR, café au lait 4.20 EUR), but this is Paris and everything is pretty expensive. The coffee was very good, and came with a chocolate which is always nice. Service was efficient. It even comes complete with disgruntled French man (who was waiting for his exceptionally late date). You couldn’t ask for much more.

Oh it was nice to come across this post as we were in the Hotel St Paul a few years ago not far from there and used this cafe for breakfast. Loved it, and as you say, very French.
