Café Méricourt — Café Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Okay, you’ve just walked in. First impressions? With its bright green facade, earthy interiors, and row of succulents behind the bar, it wouldn't be hard to imagine this café in tropical environs. Who else was there? Regulars come for coffee and a light breakfast or a casual lunch with colleagues. In-the-know Parisians seek out the novelty of shakshuka or green eggs with their specialty brews. The raison d’être : the coffee. How was it? The focus is primarily on French roasters which the owner rotates throughout the year. This is an easy stop-in for a to-go cup if you can’t stay for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.  Was there food, too, and if so, worth getting? Signature dishes range from shakshuka to breakfast sandwiches, green bowls, green eggs and during the week, dishes of the day.  How about the staff: what did you think? The place fills up fast, but the staff is swift, making sure everyone is taken care of and comfortable. They can even pair that expertly pulled shot with a dish off the menu. Who should go here? This is an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch, but if what you're after is excellent coffee, arrive late afternoon after the lunch rush." - Lindsey Tramuta
