Paris Tour Guide
Beautiful café with a souvenir boutique. The baristas are always busy and the waiting could take some time. Their coffee is delicious but not quiet the best in Paris. The match is not my favorite, a bit water diluted.

Lovely. I had been really excited to check out the bookstore for the less than 24 hours I had in town, but sadly it didn’t open until I had to leave. Instead I got to have a lovely breakfast here! They had fantastic service despite being super slammed. They were so helpful when it turned out some treats were out of stock and gave us replacements with no issue. Definitely stop by it was lovely with live music playing outside on the street.

Shakespeare and Co. Café is one of those places you can visit again and again and always enjoy. The décor is charming and vintage, the atmosphere is cozy, and it’s perfect whether you want a relaxed breakfast, a quiet coffee, or a sweet treat. Their cakes and pastries are always fresh, and the menu has a great variety of options for any time of day.
The staff are kind and attentive, and the service is consistently good no matter how busy it gets. I love coming here to unwind, meet friends, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment with a delicious drink. A beautiful, elegant café that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. Highly recommended! ☕️

The staff at this place are incredibly friendly and create a welcoming atmosphere, making it worth the visit despite the large crowd. The place really gives that cosy vibe, even when bustling with people. It’s also a great spot to take a break after exploring the Shakespeare and Company bookshop. Their ube cafe looks delicious, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Perhaps it’s because we have so many ube-flavoured options in the Philippines, and compared to those, I didn’t find the ube flavour I was looking for. The pastries, however, were delicious. Unfortunately, I was full and didn’t get to try their carrot cake.

Located directly next to the bookstore, this cafe made me feel like I was back home.
Let me tell you why.
I’m fairly certain the staff were American based on their American accent.
I really just needed a quick snack cos our first meal was a late lunch and I forgot to have anything in the morning before leaving our airbnb.
Got myself a latte and a bread situation. That bread was so flaky. It was so good. All that butter. French bread is superior. Period
There’s plenty of seating outside. You basically order out front then find a seat outside. That corner is the best people watching corner.

It was a pleasant time to spend in the cafe for enjoying a simple breakfast whilst looking at Notre Dame. An excellent way to start a weekend here.

The café is very small and becomes crowded quickly, making it quite loud. The chairs were uncomfortable, and the pain au chocolat was stale. It was a disappointing visit, and I would not return.

Lovely corner that every reader in Paris must visit. Loved that the use of phones wasn’t allowed inside..way too many places are spoiled by influencers trying to take the best selfie..but here everything is just about the books..I’m only sorry I wasn’t able to stay a bit in the reading room..but it’s something I’m definitely planning on doing in my next visit ❤️

A very nice cafe right next to my fav bookstore. The coffee and pastries are superb! The outdoor seating is so nice in December.

We stopped here for a coffee break and it ended up being one of the nicest moments of our day. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the cheesecake was creamy and delicious without being too heavy. What really made it special was the setting sitting outside with a clear view of Notre Dame felt unforgettable. It was the perfect spot to pause, rest, and just enjoy the city for a little while. The staff were kind and let us take our time, which we really appreciated. It’s not a fancy place, but it has charm, good food, and an incredible atmosphere. We’d happily come back and definitely recommend it.
