Seeking a unique coffee experience (and some good espresso after a morning at the Musée d'Orsay),…read morewe set out to try the oldest coffee roaster in Paris, Cafe Verlet. I immediately knew I was in the right place when we arrived - the cafe appeared as if it were in a snapshot from another era. From the window, I spotted an impressive display of jewel-toned jellied fruits and a coffee counter where you could purchase fresh beans and jams. The cozy seating area had a few tables set close together, and we were fortunate to be seated at the last open table. I ordered the cafe au lait, and my mom ordered the cafe glacé. The cafe au lait was brought out in an espresso mug and a pot of steamed milk - this way, you could add the desired amount of milk to your espresso. The espresso tasted smooth, and the milk was whipped to the perfect cloud-like consistency. I also tried a sip of my mom's cafe glacé, which was sweet and refreshing (the iced option also comes with a side of simple syrup). As a finishing touch, each beverage was delivered with a small square of chocolate. While pricier than a coffee at a typical cafe, this was one of the best cafe au lait I have ever tasted and worth every Euro. After savoring our coffee, we tried a few of the jellied fruits, which were sweet as honey and very decadent. We agreed that this was one of the coolest coffee experiences, as it truly felt like taking a journey back in time.

Cafe Verlet was outstanding. It was a few minutes away from our hotel and opened at 10 on a…read moreSaturday (Yelp hours are incorrect). It's a very cozy shop like most Parisian restaurants so be prepared to sit inches next to your neighbor. My husband ordered the cafe allonge (Americano) which was served with a double shot of espresso and hot water on the side. I ordered a noisette (macchiato) which was perfect and beautifully made. Since it was the first bite of the day, he ordered the slice of toasted brioche with butter and homemade jam, while I ordered the bread basket with butter and jam. Their jam was amazing and grape I think, based on the seeds, color, and light taste. The butter was served warm with one small baguette of white and a square ciabatta roll that tasted like wheat. They sell jams, honey, cookies, coffee beans, and teas to go, and are in no hurry to rush you out of there. Enjoy the drinks, relax, and take your time.

Amazing coffee, easily the best I've had in Paris (that's not saying too much but I'm saying it…read moreanyway). The beans were clearly of high quality and they are roasted in house, so you know you're not getting low quality burned beans. The menu is small, but it's to keep the quality high. I tried a cappuccino and then a smaller drink, similar to an espresso macchiato but the name they had for it escapes me. The macchiato was good, the cappuccino was great. They didn't have any seats, but it seems the vibe of the place was a get in, quickly drink up, and then move on. It reminds me of the coffee culture in Italy.

No other hot chocolate on this entire trip could compare. Steamed milk with chocolate chunks melted into it and a little bit of cinnamon. Mmm.. I'm salivating just thinking of how good it is now! My boyfriend wasn't too big fan of the espresso, but he loved the nutella muffin! On a separate occasion, when we came (because I wanted more hot chocolate) my boyfriend got a chocolate croissant and a chocolate cookie (yes, chocolate overload). They were both just okay. Both times we wanted to try the sandwiches and more, but we never got there early enough to try everything we wanted to because they always sold out. It's a really cute cafe with a lot of cushy seating in the back, some seating in the middle (with some very confusing mirrors that made me think the place was huge!) and in the front of the store. Loved the atmosphere and would definitely come back again (and earlier in the day!). And yes, they speak English here!

I only wish they had more substantial food as it looked liked it was just pastries but I will definitely be back for the great coffee, service, and ambience.

After visiting the musée d' Orsay, we walked to this amazing Starbucks…read more It totally deserves to be called the most beautiful gorgeous Starbucks ever!! We walked around to look for seats first before ordering. It is very crowded, with people on their laptops, or groups of people relaxing and having drinks. We saw a group ready to leave and we took over the seats. The menu is a bit different from the menu in the States. They have an array of donuts which seem to be one, matcha, and whatever. Slices of cakes. I was absorbed in admiring the walls of ceramic cups with all the different cities names. I like the stainless tumblers but no luck finding ones with Paris or France on it. The same tumblers as in the States. They have a bear with a pink cherry blossom, but it is wearing blue, not the signature Starbucks green. We ordered our usual drinks and some cakes slices to share, and the bear. Funny that a group of people came looking for room to sit, so we made room for them, and they were also from California!! Small world after all! The line for the rest rooms was too long so we headed to Galleries Lafayette for
