Great food in a super cozy coffee. On week-ends the brunch is probably the best of the city !

Amazing food and coffee ! I really enjoyed sitting by the window and looking outside. Try the bagels ! Very good options for vegetarians as well which is very nice and still quite rare in French cities

On Saturday they serve only the brunch. Is was a little bit to simple for me. They don’t do the guacamole, it tastes like something from the supermarket.

A very smart and nice place. Very well fitted to have a work breakfast or just a fast lunch. The crew is very kind. Suggested absolutely!

Super tasty, perfect prices, and the bagel was huge. Also the healthiness level was solid, which is rare.

Didn't get a chance to try the dishes since I came around 4pm and there were only desserts left. Got a matcha coconut vegan cookie and carrot apple ginger juice for a total of 7,60€. Was a little pricey as expected, but both were really good. The decor is also too lovely and it's nice to be right by the river. Would recommend and would love to come back to try the food!
