The Paris Market & Brocante

I loved my visit to the Paris Market! I had seen all over social media that this was the place to…read morevisit in Savannah, and for once that turned out to be true. The Paris Market is essentially like an antique shop, museum, and classy cafe all came together at once. It has a perfect vibe and aesthetic that is honestly very calming when you've been rushing around the streets of Savannah prior to walking in the door. I highly recommend getting any flavor of latte (hot or iced) as well as their incredible Parisian hot chocolate. Both were delicious and actually worth the $6/$7 price tag! Then, you can stroll around the main level and lower level shop and admire all of the treasures. I can't wait to visit again soon!

We had really high hopes for The Paris Market and left a little disappointed. From the name and…read morebranding, we expected more of a true Parisian café experience with great pastries, little snacks, desserts, and a cozy coffee shop atmosphere. Instead, there were only a few macarons, maybe one sandwich option, and the café itself was...pretty much nonexistent. The retail side also felt a little underwhelming. The space is nice, but a lot of the merchandise was sourced from vendors you commonly see at the larger merchandise markets, so it didn't feel as unique or curated as we expected. That said, we're still glad we stopped in if you're nearby. It just didn't quite live up to the experience we had imagined

It was somewhat busy but that's to be expected on a Monday morning, my wait time to order was less than 5 minutes. I really enjoyed watching the barista make the drinks. It's absolutely an art and you can see how dedicated the baristas are to making the perfect drink.

I also ordered a salad similar to a Waldorf with salmon, which somehow managed to be dry and firm even though it was not overcooked. Overall ingredient quality isn't great. Service was friendly but also spacey - waiter didn't bring us waters until we asked. Crowd seemed to be mostly older SCAD/art patrons in the area. Overall you might get a good photo but that's all you should expect, recommend staying away.

It felt like I was in an animal shelter with a couple pieces of cheap wall art up. The "café" portion is completely disconnected from the cats. It's not a wine bar or coffee shop vibe at all. The coffee drinks come from a Keurig pod There were at most six cats. If you don't pay extra to buy their toys and treats, the cats won't interact with you. Also, the music was simply depressing. I love Lana Del Rey, but her music is kind of sleepy for this activity. To me this is just a tourist trap scam for those (including myself) who do you like cats. Avoid. We left our session early because it was simply boring and kind of depressing. A lot of the cats seemed exhausted and stressed out.
