Over the past year the coffee scene in Paris has really taken off. Where as once I could count the number of Marzocco machines I had seen on one hand , there are now numerous cafes popping up across Paris serving top-notch caffeine; Merce and the Muse, Coutume, Telescope, Kookaburra, Cafeotheque and Black Market to name a handful. On my recent trip I had to check out newly opened 10 Belles, the micro cafe a stones throw from the canal and I was very impressed.

The coffee is quite simply perfect, supplied by my other favorite cafe Télescope and the desserts are provided by  Le Bal. They have  a very reasonably priced menu including an 11 euro formule for a soup and salad or sandwich with a coffee and cookie. The Barista was really friendly and great to chat to about the new wave of coffee in Paris.
