"This small, charming shop right off Canal St.-Martin serves house-made pastries alongside local roasts from Belleville Brûlerie. One of the biggest advocates for specialty coffee in Paris, Ten Belles offers a laid-back environment and one of the best glimpses of a distinctly Parisian coffee culture across its three locations, where customers tend to eschew laptops for conversations with friends. When it’s nice out, take your drink and food to go; when it’s not, grab a colorful seat by the window. After tinkering with recipes inspired by San Francisco’s Tartine and London’s St. John, the kitchen came up with a stellar roster of breads, pastries, and savory foods. Located in the 10th arrondissement. Sam Kim" - Rooksana Hossenally
