Was looking for the perfect cafe in Paris to satisfy all my French cafe cravings and this place was it.
The staff are able to speak English but the menu is in French so have your translate app ready and be polite and gracious.
I ordered the croque monsieur, pain perdu, and a side of scrambled eggs.
Everything was delicious. Each dish was prepared to perfection, and the quality of the food was outstanding. The croque monsieur was a perfect balance of savory and crispy, the pain perdu was wonderfully light and custardy, and the scrambled eggs were the perfect addition of mushroom eggy goodness. My only nitpicks would be to add fruit or ice cream/cream to break up the sugar of the pain perdu. It was a fantastic and memorable meal.

Very cute little cafe near Canal St. Martin. Cozy inside with kind staff and good prices! I enjoyed spending my morning journaling there!

Pain Perduuuu... this girl has been in France for two months now and until now had only found her French Toast fix at American diners around Paris... until now!  Thoroughly soaked in egg - maybe three eggs - and then grilled and dusted with powdered sugar with a side of sweet tangy yogurt and fruit.  Heaven!  I didn't even miss maple syrup.  Toss in some of that fruit-forward Belleville brew coffee and I was doing little happy dances on the inside.

Came here to get a sandwich fix because so many sites and blogs had their jambon beurre listed as one of the city's best.

They no longer offer it!

Ended up having their lunch set menu instead, which was fine.

After an initial bumpy first impression shortly after opening, I can say with confidence after like twenty visits that this café is pretty awesome. The place grows on you with time because it's classiness and quality is so subtle. 

The redesign of the original neighborhood bistro was so perfectly done. The light just pours in and the space always seems so airy and minimalist even when it's bustling with its uber hipster clientele.  

What I love most about this place is that everything is delicious. The coffee is stellar, especially the filer coffee, the quinoa salad is divine, the ham and butter baguette is the best I've ever had in my life. You can tell that a lot of attention has gone into serving the best possible version of the limited items on the menu. 

The owner, one of the brothers behind La Belleville brulerie, explained that they have a special water filter in the basement that is used to make the coffee smooth and fragrant. 

And while I would typically fault them for not having free WIFI I work around it by using my own phone as a hotspot and actually enjoy that I'm the only one working on a computer here.

You know what - when I come to Paris this is exactly the sort of place I want to be spending my time in, there's just no room to spend it in half arsed Parisian coffee shops and food houses when places as authentic as this place exist. 

J'adore the Parisian high window aesthetics which are perfect for people watching which can sometimes become too distracting (although ultimately entertaining due to chic fashion, small cute dogs and potential bicycle over handlebar incidents due to the crazy roads)

We didn't have time for food on this occasion but the coffee was purely excellent. The staff also were a delight and the overall ambience excellent. This place wins on all levels!

This place was so cute. Huge plus that everyone we interacted with spoke English. Service was fantastic. The coffee was great. We ordered the ham and butter sandwiches and holy smokes... best ham I've ever had in my life!

Rustic, cozy and eclectic atmosphere. The staff are warm and extremely helpful and the service is super fast. The menu is affordable and short, but everything is made well. Perfect for a light breakfast or quick coffee. We returned here the next morning and would recommend to anyone passing in the area.

Accidentally went to their roastery first which is just around the corner. Live jazz was cool. Very local atmosphere. I had a hot chocolate for €4. Tasted like they slow melted dark chocolate into milk yum! Can be hard to find seats depending on when you go though.

The decor is adorable, it wasn't crowded, and there's a nice vibe. However the service was a huge disappointment at breakfast time. I ordered a hard-boiled egg and a sablé, and my friend ordered a soft-boiled egg with toast. My egg came pretty quickly (although was missing the mayonnaise it was supposed to come with), but after 30 minutes we were still waiting for the sablé and my friend's breakfast. When we finally tracked down the waitress (she had been studiously avoiding eye contact), it became clear that she forgot about my friend's dish and the sablé. To top it all off, when we got the check at the end, the waitress had double-charged for my friend's dish. It took another 10 minutes to finally get the waitress's attention to remove the double charge. All in all, it took us about 90 minutes to get 2 coffees, 2 eggs, some bread, and a premade pastry.
