Le Peloton Café

"This minimalist café focuses on two things: coffee and cycling. (It's owned by the Kiwi founders of Bike About Tours.) There are only a handful of seats and counter stools, so it's not suited for lingering; stop in on a leisurely stroll through the Marais or en route to the left bank museums. They serve flat whites, drip coffee, espresso, and a menu largely filled with sweet treats, like croissants and waffles with a side of jam." - Lindsey Tramuta

"Okay, you’ve just walked in. First impressions? This minimalist but colorful café focuses on two things: coffee and cycling. (It's owned by the American-Kiwi duo who founded Bike About Tours.) Who else was there? Expect a mix of travelers and expats who frequent the café for its excellent coffee, riverside location, and community of cyclists. Guests are often hovered around the horseshoe bar chatting up the baristas and owners. The raison d’être : the coffee. How was it? Flat whites, drip coffee, espresso—this place has it all. Was there food, too, and if so, worth getting? The menu is largely filled with sweet treats, like croissants and waffles served with a side of jam. How about the staff: what did you think? The staff knows what they're doing and they take the time to do it well. In other words, don't order here if you're in a rush. Who should go here? Since the owners renovated the café in 2022, there are more seats for lingering as well as standing spots at the counter. Still, many regulars stop in while they’re on a leisurely stroll through the Marais or en route to the Seine river, located only a block away." - Lindsey Tramuta
