Recto Verso - Review - 3rd Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"Recto Verso is where to enjoy coffee in all its forms if you’re in the Marais, situated between art galleries and the Musée des Arts et Métiers. Once the schoolhouse-style wooden chairs and round wooden tables are full, take a place on the makeshift terrace or sit curbside to people-watch with your affogato. Or if you’ve never had an espresso tonic, a rarity in Paris, this is the place to try one. Just note they’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays." - Tanisha Townsend

One of the coffee shops worth visiting in the Marais area. The coffee is good and well-balanced. The atmosphere was comfortable and not too crowded when I went, maybe because of the rain. What I found lacking, however, was the service, there was no warm welcome. In my opinion, the coffee is worth trying, but I might choose other coffee shops next time for a more pleasant experience. Sorry, just my opinion

A popular café in Paris. The coffee was decent, though it feels like the prices have gone up a bit. It’s usually quite busy, but people don’t stay too long, so you can usually find a seat within a few minutes.

The coffee and pastries are among the best in Paris.⭐️ Every time we return to Paris, we find ourselves back here — because this place holds a kind of magic. Your dedication and passion have inspired my wife and me to change our lives, leave behind our old jobs, and follow the dream of creating our own little craft business. Thank you, Recto-Verso — you will forever have a special place in our hearts. Paola & Vincenzo

Such a great place — the coffee is absolutely addictive)))) , you just want to come back again and again 😵‍💫😉. The homemade cheesecake and cookies are both delicious. The atmosphere is lovely, we were welcomed so warmly and you can feel that everything here is made with love ❤️

You can tell the barista really cares about the coffee here—each cup is thoughtfully made and tastes spot on. Service is a bit slow though. The space is small but has a lot of character, especially with the exposed stone walls that give it a distinct charm. Also tried the basque cheesecake, which was rich and smooth—definitely worth getting. A lovely little spot if you're not in a rush.

This spot has really great coffee, we ordered two filter coffees - from Replica (Belgium) and Fuglen (Norway) - both were excellent. Good music playing and a really nice vibe overall.

This coffeeshop was soooooo good! One of the best places we stopped off in Paris. Would recommend their affogato on a hot day!
