This is a hard review to write because I like the concept of Mel, Mich, and Martin. It's a large coffee shop with lots of space if you get there before rush hours, which is rare in Paris. However, it needs to be said - the service is pretty abysmal. Everytime I come the baristas are busy baking or preparing the food, which totally makes sense. But standing for 4 to 5 minutes waiting for your order to be taken is silly. Usually they snap to attention once a line begins to form. Finally, the tall redhead has a bad attitude. Everytime I come in she doesn't greet me with 'bonjour' which is a faux pas here in Paris, supposedly, and twice now I've had to remind her of my order. I waited for 5 minutes -- NO ONE else was waiting for a drink - before returning to the counter to ask for my latte. She was already taking a new order and didn't even acknowledge that she had forgotten. Well played, Mel Mich & Martin. I think what I'll do now is just sit down and wait for someone to passively-aggressively approach me and tell me I need to order something. That'll probably be more efficient.
