Christmas Spirit at Mariage Frères

Christmas Spirit at Mariage Frères

Mariage Frères in the world The first time I discovered Mariage Frères was in Japan. I knew it was a French tea brand, but I didn’t think it was particularly famous until my Japanese friend told me about it. Sometimes, it’s interesting to notice that […]

Coffee rocks at Ob-La-Di

Coffee rocks at Ob-La-Di

Found a trendy place to hang out between shopping breaks, Ob-La-Di! Located at the station Filles du Calvaire, this place serves fabulous coffee and cakes. It’s not listed on their menu, but oat milk is also available. Their industrial decoration and blue floor pattern make […]

Special Lattes at Aida Shoreditch, anyone?

Special Lattes at Aida Shoreditch, anyone?

AIDA Shoreditch is a comfortable place, where I wrote a big chunk of my master’s dissertation. I really enjoyed the fact that it closes at 7pm from Monday to Saturday. In London coffeeshops usually close early, so having that extra hour was crucial.   In a […]

Let Natives Paris bring us back to our roots!

Let Natives Paris bring us back to our roots!

Although I just came back from my short trip to London, I didn’t get the chance to stop by Tombo Poke and satisfy my craving for Poke Bowls! Luckily, we have our Hawaiian spot in town too, Natives Paris, which serves amazingly fresh, healthy and […]

Shakshuka x2, please

Shakshuka x2, please

I noticed on social media that people were having for brunch these poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. Since they got very popular, I did some research and learned that it was called Shakshuka, originally from North Africa. IMA offers Red Shakshuka, which is the […]

Sunday Afternoon at Yann Couvreur’s

Sunday Afternoon at Yann Couvreur’s

Yann Couvreur, a young pastry chef, opened his first tea salon/pastry shop in May this year. As his pastries looked incredibly tasty on instagram, my friends and I decided to make them our Sunday afternoon treats! Once we reached the boutique, we realized that there […]

Let’s set… The Beans on Fire!

Let’s set… The Beans on Fire!

One of my favorite baristas is now working at The Beans on Fire, and that’s how I got to discover their delicious coffee! This place, located besides the Square Maurice Gardette, is much more than just a coffeeshop. It is a collaborative roaster. As I […]

Brunch at the summit of the butte Montmartre

Brunch at the summit of the butte Montmartre

Originally from Australia, Hardware Société is a nice and cosy brunch place located at the summit of the butte Montmartre. I got off at the station Anvers, walked up the steep road and climbed up the stairs (wearing heals, I don’t know what I was thinking…) […]

Pastry Adventure at the Ritz Hotel

Pastry Adventure at the Ritz Hotel

Since my pastry friend and I were eager to try the Chef François Perret’s creations, we decided to go to the Ritz Hotel’s Bar Vendôme for tea. We already knew what to expect and what to order as we carefully studied the menu before going. […]

Umami Matcha O’clock

Umami Matcha O’clock

For those familiar with matcha places in London, this is the equivalent of Paris’ Tombo Café! My friend and I got a piece of marbled cake, which looked so good at the counter, a matcha piccolo and a black umami. The latter is made of […]

Tea Among Fairies

Tea Among Fairies

Have you ever dreamt to have tea among fairies, without really ‘escaping the city’? Then, Lily of the Valley is your next stop. Indeed with such a sweet name, this tea place is full of flowers everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I really mean […]

Loustic, a London feel in Paris

Whether it is London or Paris, I constantly look for nice coffeeshops with great coffee, comfy chairs and a cosy environment. And Loustic definitely has it all. It was opened in 2013 by a British man, Channa, who fell in love with the French culture and […]
