"Lovely courtyard. I sat for about 20 minutes before a charming young woman asked if anybody had taken my order… Still I didn’t let this ruin my mood, which was great after visiting the fabulous Lumière museum across the street."

"Very cozy, and I loved the chai latte. I wish they had non-dairy dishes though. The staff was also a bit overwhelmed, resulting in slow service"

"J’adore ce petit café niché dans le charmant quartier de Monplaisir. La rue piétonne peu passante et le fait qu’on ne voit pas le café de l’extérieur ont font un endroit un peu caché ce qui rajoute encore du charme à ce café déjà charmant et cosy la journée comme le soir. La partie intérieure est très sympa mais je recommande surtout la terrasse qui est une cour intérieur calme et accueillante. Côté boisson je recommande le chaï latte qui est excellent et on peut prendre du lait végétal. J’ai bien aimé les cookies, je reviendrais pour déjeuner et goûter la partie salée."
