Very nice cafe that specialises in Breakfast and Brunch. Not many places locally open on a Monday morning for breakfast so I found myself heading here in February 2023. Without a reservation at 09:30I was able to get a table. I had a very nice fruit salad and some advocado and toast. The coffee was strong and well made and they do hot pressed juices. Overall a very good breakfast moderate price

Nice open place to have a lunch or brunch. Good quality espresso. Toast salmon is provided with raw sushi salmon, instead of (my expected) smoked salmon. Almost no flavour in toast salmon.

I came across the place while strolling the area I was staying at on my first visit to Paris. Very clean, great food, nice staff, calm and quiet environment. Suitable for working with a laptop (plenty of sockets, decent WiFi).
