    Perfect and uncomplicated- little café in the Marais that has a couple good breakfast options. Great coffee, friendly staff. It's tiny with not so many places to sit, but the vibe is definitely French. Popular for English speakers in Paris.

    Ob-la-di Ob-la-da Life goes on... well, actually life just got better after our experience at this gem of a coffee shop in Paris! Warm and bright atmosphere with great coffee table books to flip through such as the one that was titled The Art of the Leather Biker Jacket (or something like that) and another with photographs from the Beatles era. The best parts of course were the coffee and food! What we ordered: Lattes - Smooth, rich and delicious! Poached Egg w/ Avocat & Kale - Wow! Healthy and packed with fresh flavor. Tartine Avocat - Incredible! I think this was my favorite. Lots of avocado on fresh bread with pomegranate seeds on top. During our recent 4 days in Paris, we came here 2 days in a row because of how good the food was, and I craved all the avocado goodness! The baristas were very friendly, and the cafe itself is quaint and beautiful. Another thing that was great was their Fig Quinoa Gluten-free Granola, which they also sold in tall mason jars. Definitely had to get one of those too which also made for a great little keepsake or gift to take back home. Merci beaucoup Ob-La-Di for making our hearts and tastebuds sing!

    J'aime beaucoup! Friendly staff and amazing food/coffee. They have oatly oak milk!! Such a jolie cafe but really petit. The server/barista was so so friendly! I asked her for recommendations for places to shop and wrote me a list and explained everything kindly. Felt truly welcomed and would recommend this to allllllllll my friends. Xoxo.

    I got an avocado toast with a matcha latte. It was very delicious, the toast taste better than how it looks. The restaurant is pretty small so you better have patience to find a place to seat and be able to order. The place is located in a pretty cool area, different shops and restaurants around. Would definitely come back!

    The shop is quite small, the food is ... hmmmm It can be better ;)  Cheers~

    It's normal. Less then we excepted. It looks better then it taste. I was exciting American style brunch. So for two girls, we actually order quite a bit.

    Poached egg for 10€, a coat for 9€, fig and date for 8€

    Oh my godddddd. Thank the gods that this place exists in Paris. Where do I even begin? Tucked away on a quiet street in the Marais, this coffee shop offers a quiet and cozy place, possibly the best coffee I've ever had and malt certainly the best in Paris, friendly employees (Barista is American!!), delicious and healthy food for a reasonable price (not to mention also beautiful), and quick service. My friends and showed up around 1 pm and we didn't have any difficulties getting a table. We all ordered a latte and a different tartine. The latte was 5€ but it was exquisite. Rich and foamy like velvet. The art was good too. Then came out our food by the nice guy in the kitchen. My avocado toast (9€) came on thick bread with a nice, almost generous, spread of avocado and this dark pesto and pomegranate. Wonderful wonderful. Two friends ordered the poached egg for 10€ which looked good too, on a different type of bread. Another friend got the date and cheese for 8€ which also came with nuts and looked great. They have baked goods that look scrumptious and even a burger. I'll be a repeat visitor here because it really is that good. Come here early to grab a seat!!!

    Very nice place to have breakfast! Friendly staff and good music. It's a tiny place but people go in and out all the time so it's easy to get a place. I took the green tea that was very tasty as well as the avocado toast which I would strongly recommend.

    I jumped on the bandwagon. Highly recommended.

    The other reviews sum up this place, I won't say the same thing over again... What I will add is the service is impeccable, friendly and clean. The laid back vibe is commendable. Rumour has it, if you have a dog, you enter a secret society where any dog owner is your friend. Ob-La-Di has the same code! Thanks for the lovely food and coffee! Over and out! Tip.. For chocoholics, the cookie! Kenyan blend Coffee beans were used to make my Cuppacino... So richly smooth and nutty.

    A great place for a spot of healthy lunch with staff that are super English friendly. The Tartine (toast) are amazing with fresh toppings like fresh goat's cheese, figs and dried cranberries. Great coffee and requesting black Tea with milk doesn't get you a free raising of a French eyebrow!

    The best latte I've had in a while. Pretty expensive though, it's 5€.
    Maren F.

    If you're looking for a REALLY good latte in the Le Marais quarter, you need to come here. We weren't planning to come here, but it was pouring outside. The service was amazing, the staff was nice and the free wifi much appreciated. We didn't get to try the avocado toast, as we'd just had lunch before coming here, but it looked absolutely delicious. Next time I'm in Paris, I'll come back to try that avo toast! :)

    Avocado Toast w/ added poached egg
    Brie R.

    Went here for breakfast, it was amazing! My wife got the avacado toast and it was delicious. They changed the menu about a week ago so I couldn't get the tartine poached egg that everyone is buzzing about. I got a lightly toasted bagel with fresh hummus spread with a perfectly poached egg on top, all of this was laid on a lebonse cucumber salad. It was so fresh and lite, really refreshing. We will be back before our trip is over. The coffee was lovely!

    Tartine avocat and chai pudding with a latte
    Mimosa S.

    This place is wonderful! It has been on my list for a while. Finally made it today. The tartine is delicious and the chai seed pudding was perfect!! If you haven't been, go!!!

It was head and shoulders our favorite coffee shop in the City of Light, and we lowkey made our rounds. It's a small shop, but filled to the brim with life and passion. I'm normally not a pastry guy, but if I lived anywhere near Motors I would absolutely be a pastry guy. The cinnamon roll was light and delicate, as opposed to the overly sweet and dense ones I'm used to. We also got a vanilla pastry they were testing, and a sugar cookie with milk chocolate drizzled on top. Ugh, take me back, inject these into my veins. I got my goto hot black coffee, and you could taste the freshness of the beans. My girlfriend got a latte that had the most beautiful little flower art on it. How do they even do that? I'm proud of myself, as I knew even when we were sitting in here enjoying our pastries, hot coffees, and each other's company that this was a moment I would look back on and cherish. It's always great knowing it's one of those moments when you're actually in it. You can fully appreciate it. My one regret is that I didn't get the ladies name serving us, as she was so sweet, recommended great pastries, and was just a pleasant human being. They don't make em like sis anymore...

With our drinks our waiter even brought us out fresh olives. Now I'm not the biggest fan but Ashley very much enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu that I was interested in and they had a number of different cuts of beef but I had to go with the Whole Duck Breast which is also a French classic which I got cooked medium rare but I'm perfect sure that's how they suggest it which is the right way like they do with all their beef too. Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too. Beside that everything was very good and would for sure recommend going to Café Blanc for a nice menu which amazing French options.
