Most cafes i've visited in France use pod machines or automatic machines which taste ok but is not acceptable for the high price they charge. Here the price is similar but the flavours and texture are on another level! One of the best coffees i've had in my trip to France! Delicious, detailed and nutty coffee flavour coupled with an indulgently smooth and creamy milk that was steamed perfectly from an espresso machine operated by a real Barista. It tastes exactly like the coffees in Australia. They even have a Flat White! Even the mugs they use are identical to those at my local cafe in Australia (though this is likely a coincidence).
The sausage roll i ate is a premium/gourmet style with additional ingredients added to the meat. Delicious and satisfying. It even comes with tomato sauce for free. The included salad has a French style vinaigrette that is sour and slightly sweet, with strong mustard seeds that gives it a little kick. Thus the plate was a perfect harmony of French and Australian cuisine. I'm very happy with this as i personally grew up with both countries' foods! Well done!
The only negatives i can think of is: The small menu with limited food options, but they seem to make everything on it to a high standard. My cappuccino was more like a flat white (no chocolate powder and has thin foam) but i don't mind as it's so delicious i craved for more! It was an excellent flat white!
I highly recommend this cafe for both aussies abroad and everyone else in the world visiting Paris. I can confirm the coffee taste exactly like in Australia. Perfect for those curious of giving aussie coffee a fair go, or those wanting a premium tasting coffee instead of the common overpriced pod machine coffee found...
Read moreThe price would be fine - if the food & drinks were worth it. We went there for a nice Saturday's morning brunch, not expecting a slow descent into disappointment. First of all, the food was quite expensive - 10€ for an avocado toast, 2€ more to get anything other than Avocado on it. Then, the bun of the day wasn't available. But undeterred, we went forward with our order.
We soon found out that the hot chocolate was average at best, the avocado toast was dull (even with an additional purchase of an egg on it), sporting an avocado spread sadly lacking in the taste department.
We left as soon as the meal was over, even though we had hoped to spend some time doing what one does in a brunch - chilling. But as the atmosphere is not of a chill coffee chop but of a busy city intersection, it wasn't possible.
I hope the owner will take note of some of his or hers disappointed clients, and review not only their offerings but also their approach to...
Read moreAnother great Australian cafe in Paris. We came on the weekend, so it was a little busy. But maybe if we had come during the weekdays our experience would have been different.
The food was great! Given that it was the weekend, they only had the avo toast and plate of the day (some hot dog dish) as the main brunch items. I had so been looking forward to having the salmon bowl, but it seems that they do not have salmon on the weekends, which is super unfortunate. So we had the avo toast with egg no salmon, and the granola. Both were really good and looked as good as they tasted, but was not enough food for two people to share. I ordered a flat white as well, which was good, but a little strong.
The workers were not super friendly or attentive which was not very helpful. However as we were catching up with friends who we hadn't seen in over a year, I do appreciate that they did not ask us to leave after we had finished, given how...
