I have had the wonderful fortune of being able to visit Paris twice in the last few years and for a…read morecity that didn't even make it to my top 20 places to visit in my lifetime, it is an incredible metropolis that you should really consider passing through, at least for a week. The culture and history are amazing (which are givens) but what will totally knock you off your feet is the food. People will tell you that but it will still shock you when you put a pastry or a bite of a galette (of the sort from the Brittany region) in your mouth. Okay, all of that is to say that while there are great things to experience in Paris, you will find that service is not exactly what one would call friendly or hospitable. I get it, I'm an American and Yanks are entitled and pompous. I totally understand that and I know that no matter how much I jump up and down, shouting to you that I'm not that way (especially since I'm the child of immigrant parents of an extremely humble background), you will remain skeptical. That's okay. I have come to understand that Parisians are not what we here in the States would consider exactly "warm." But I accept the cultural difference and am more than happy when I can have a cordial exchange with business owners/managers and their employees. I don't speak French, but I learned the obligatory "Parlez-vous anglais?" in deference to the country's official language. I heard the cashier speak English to the customer in front of me but when it was my turn, both she and the manager on shift looked at me blankly so I politely (and timidly) asked my question. The man acted indifferently and said flatly, "A little." So I ordered my cappuccino, feeling embarrassed. I paid and left. I understand that Parisians are tired of Americans and their expectation that everyone speaks English (I have witnessed this and know it to be generally true) but when your customer tries to communicate with you and your place of business is in an international airport (8th busiest in the world in passenger traffic, at that), you would think you could be a bit more understanding. I won't change the world or this place with my review, but there you have my two cents. Oh, and the cappuccino was quite good.

When I asked if she did, she couldn't explain what she did. So I asked her can I get more pastries or a coffee to make up for my voucher. She said absolutely not then her and her co-worker started ignoring us. Other customers were trying to help explain the issue, but the women working the counter completely ignored the fact that they spent all our voucher money. I haven't tried the food yet, but service was so terrible.

I asked the staff if they could add a bit more soup or sauce, and they kindly did, which improved the dish. The menu mentions cashews, and the idea of combining everything together sounds great in theory. However, there were only about 3-5 cashews in the dish, which didn't really balance the pasta as expected. I would recommend using fewer pasta portions and adding more cashews and sauce to improve the flavor and texture. Overall, the service was good and the staff were accommodating. The menu itself has good ideas, but I think the restaurant could focus more on quality and balance rather than quantity. Considering the price point, I personally wouldn't recommend it right now, though I believe they have the potential to do better.

The packaging is exquisite…read more Sandwiches are packaged in fancy, thick clear zip bags that you can probably reuse as your quart-sized travel bag for liquids. Salads are packaged in these clear, thick plastic boxes that make them look like gemstones. The food is a bit pricey, but it is worth it compared to the other food options around (the other food looked like it would give you a case of no. 3!!!). Everything is luxurious down to their super heavyweight napkins and plastic cutlery that looks like it's real metal. Sometimes it's worth to splurge for a memorable and enjoyable last meal. :)

We were there around 5:30-6am and they had just opened. And there was already a line of people waiting. This seems to be a good spot to grab breakfast or snacks before your flight. They have backed goods like croisants, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. And they have fresh fruit cups, juice and sandwiches. The coffee menu is pretty basic. My fiancé got a coffee and said it was alright. His fruit cup was decent. I ordered a cookie (chocolate chip with caramel), and a blueberry muffin. Both were just okay. Nothing spectacular about this place. But it served its purpose.

It was in the airport, it had basic food, and well, it simply was convenient. What more could you want? Well, for the coffee to not be puke-inducing...

It was a freezing day and I wanted coffee. The coffee truly wasn't anything to write home about, but it was keeping me warm. I was thinking meh, it could be better, it could be worse, but as we began our trek out of this hell of an airport, I wound up having to find a poubelle (that's French for trash can by the way) because whoop, there it went.

I wouldn't say any dirty words coz she is not the one who deserves my words or actions, but I'm really sick of the French's arrogance! I've been bored them for many years when I started to work in a French famous investment banking. I'm writing this review coz they couldn't do the right order even let customer got humiliated. This time, I came to Paris only for studying, otherwise I really wouldn't come to this stupid country anymore. I'm not saying emotionally.
