ciao paulette

This is a sweet little place to get a great coffee or a breakfast-y meal. We were only planning on getting a snack but the plates leaving the kitchen looked great. 11€ for scrambled eggs, bacon and toast and it was really delicious. Great service too.

Lovely little cafe! The apple juice I had was made right then -frothy and delicious! It literally tastes like the essence of an apple and I can’t even explain what I mean by that but it was so good. I also had the French toast which was served with fresh fruit (berries, pomegranate, banana, persimmon?! So. good.)The place is just cute too! Very simple and they don’t allow laptops on weekends which I liked because it makes it more relaxing

Lovely place in heart of Les Marais. Everything is homemade, delicious and fresh. Gluten free and diabetic sweet options. Lovely ladies managing the place. Will be back for sure, the service is great! Thank you !

Highly recommend this place - delicious food, super friendly staff, very welcoming atmosphere! My family and I came here for brunch and all the food was absolutely delicious! Upon sitting down we were served water and the staff were super friendly and willing to translate for us, as our French is very limited. The selection of food and the daily specials was very wide and we ordered the brunch menu, which was great value for money with the most delicious food!

Nicely hidden from the tourist streams noticeable only by a modest “Ciao Paulette” sign this coffee shop and brunch spot is an institution in the Marais since 13 years already. The whole family loves this place, and that is not a given. We come back every morning when in Paris. The most kindest staff serves the best brunch in town. The owner has always a smile for her clients and she takes enormous pride in the preparation of her coffee. The result is more than delicious. And incredibly so, the cost/performance ratio is still among the best in the whole of Paris.

The coffee, the juice of the day and the avocado toast were amazing. It’s a small, cozy place with calming music. If you can’t stand the usual crowded brunch spots, this is the hidden gem you’ve been looking for.

Went there for my birthday breakfast, it was just great! Really cute cozy cafe! Menu was only in Frenchbut the manager came and explained everything to us. We were in a little hurry bc we wanted to go to Louvre, we told the staff and everything came fast and fast really! tasty! We are coffee lovers, and it was really good ♥️. The food options and also the option to have that one menu, where you can taste from everything a little bit, was just perfect! We came early, like 9ish and we had free table but around 10 it got full. So go early I guess ☺️♥️. Thanks again!

This is a cozy cafe that allows laptops so is a rare find in Paris. The coffee was good, food options limited and the decor very simple - nothing special but nothing bad. A great spot to work!

This was hands down the most amazing French Toast I have ever had! Thats not an overstatement, I ordered it on two separate occasions and was in heaven both times! My only regret is that I doubt I will be able to recreate it. The omelette was incroyable as well! Very friendly staff that speak English (of course) and wonderful cappuccinos as well. If you are staying in Le Marais stop in and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

This cafe was a few steps from our air bnb in a quiet part of Le Marais neighborhood. Cozy, unassuming place....most delicious breakfast this trip!! We ordered French toast and French scrambled eggs. Both were absolutely amazing. Such a nice atmosphere too! Wish we would have found this place sooner...would have come here EVERY morning

Brilliant coffee quick service and was happy to find outdoor seating area. We reached earlier so it wasn't very busy.

Place is now called Ciao Paulette and it's a charming little breakfast place. Wonderful omelettes, french toast, coffees and much more. Reasonably priced for the area and well worth a visit.

Lovely little cafe with super friendly staff! Take note: there's a "No Computers" rule on the weekend.

Very good but the name changed. Good value. Spoke English and very helpful. Map brought us to the right spot, but the name was new. 27 euro for 2 French toasts a coffee and juice.

Great little gem, the food was amazing and nice size portions. Coffee was delicious and had beautiful designs on it. Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable.

This is such a simultaneously charming and nondescript cafe in the middle of the Marais area that if you walk by too quickly, you'll miss it. The person in charge there is very friendly, accommodating, and knows her regulars well. I always feel like I'm going home to talk with family when I'm there because she is so welcoming. Once, when she was the only one there working, she apologized to me for not being able to take the time to chat with me as she had wanted to -- how generous and thoughtful! The coffee are food are also great, and they offer the breakfast menu late into the afternoon (very important if you like breakfast foods like I do). The scrambled eggs are perfectly done and one of the best in the area!

Oh my goodness! Delicious food! Friendly service! Fair prices! The juice was freshly pressed, the vegetables were fresh. The bacon was sweet and delicious. The coffe was bold and well prepared. We will come back to this great cafe! It is small but wonderful. Highly recommended. I ate my omelet before I could take a picture.

This cafe is excellent. I was looking for something while exploring Le Marais and found this little gem. It is very small and something you might walk right past if you weren't looking for it. I was here for brunch. They have an ala carte menu for breakfast and lunch or a prix fixe menu for brunch. Everything was excellent. The staff was also very friendly, asking if I needed help as I was trying to translate the menu. Highly recommend!

I had been looking for a place with good food, good coffee, and nice space to get some work done. I was not disappointed at Strada cafe! Although they're a cafe, they have table service and counter service. I had a delicious latte, a croissant, and un pain au chocolat (they're small). They did have a somewhat unusual rule, where you could only use laptops on one side of the cafe. Luckily, there was an open table on that side, so I had no difficulty working. The atmosphere is extremely cosy and welcoming. The food looked great, although I didn't try more than just the pastries, so I'm looking forward to trying more of the food on my next visit!

Strada is a charming coffee shop with a local vibe. It's located on a small street without many other open businesses. The shop itself is also very small and I would guess that it could seat no more than 30 people at maximum occupany. Seats could be hard to come by, especially if you're with a big group. Coffee itself was good, though I can't say I've had much to compare it with in Paris. There just doesn't seem to be as many standalone coffeeshops in the city that are not chains compared to my native LA. Based on this fact alone, I would recommend coming to Strada if you're tired after wandering through Le Marais or the Centre Pompidou. Some bonuses: - Service was great and the workers all spoke great english. - They do have a restroom for guests. -They sell beans from a few different local roasters. I love this because I always like to buy coffee beans from different cities I visit as souvenirs. Tip: - 10E minimum to use card

Food and service is excellent! Everyone working there is so friendly and do not be worried if you do not speak French. All are helpful in ordering

Best French toast I have ever had. Servers were really sweet too. I would highly recommend coming here.

When I come back to Paris, I'll be sure to make my way back to Strada. A meandering walk through the charming cobbled streets of the Marais led us to Strada's unsuspecting storefront, which we likely would have walked past had it not been our destination. We all tried different items: I opted for the Breakfast of Champions with a veggie omelette, one person got the avocado toast, and two tried the savory French toast. The Breakfast of Champions also included three pieces of generously buttered toast, one freshly baked mini croissant with homemade jam, a coffee drink of my choosing (I opted for an iced soy latte as it was a warm day), a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and a side salad with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. A bit on the carb-heavy side, but it's Paris, so to be expected! My highlights were the omelette and the OJ. The omelette contained just the right amount of veggies in its outer folding and was folded over a particularly flavorful cheese (gruyère, if I'm not mistaken). As an American, I am used to the over-stuffed breed of omelette, typically folded over heaps of fillings. Although this was not a traditional 'blonde' French omelette thanks to the plentiful veggies, it had the characteristic buttery smooth exterior and beautifully tender interior.. Each bite was fluffy and perfectly flavorful, and somehow the entire thing left me feeling full, but not bloated, as I typically do after an American brunch. I'm guessing this is due to the lamination cooking technique for French omelettes, which gives them optimal aeration, so that the egg butter mix is just set but still has a silky mouth feel when cut open. Overall, the omelette was a perfect middle ground between the American stuffed omelette and the simple French blonde omelette, combining the heartiness and flavor of the first with the outstanding texture of the latter. The OJ was exquisite -- gently sweet and just the right amount of pulpy. The croissant and jam were not the best I've had, but my standards were high because we were in France! Like others have said, it's a small place, perhaps not ideal for larger groups. My group of 5 had to cram in, as none of the tables were designed for more than 4. If this isn't an issue and you find yourself in the area looking for a hearty brunch and good coffee to fuel you through a day of exploration, I highly recommend Strada Cafe as a pit stop!

Small, hole-in-the-wall cafe with excellent coffee, baked items, breakfast meals, etc. Fluent English staff and a great atmosphere. If it was in my neighborhood back home, I'd be a regular.

Wonderful cafe in the same building as my rental apartment. First visit this year and I'm sorry I never visited before now. Quaint, friendly and great coffee and food. My new breakfast spot in Paris.

Hey Terry I love Paris and you're like the case was very cozy and the lovely end up with history of

Everything was delicious! We had the French Toast, Salad, and sandwiches. Our best meal in Europe!

This is a great place...very small cafe but the food is great.the French toast was amazing

I was so happy that I stumbled upon this sweet little breakfast spot while in Paris! The staff was so sweet and welcoming, the cafe is adorable and in a great neighborhood and the food was very reasonably price and delicious! Definitely try their French toast -- hands down the best I've ever had!

So good, no expectations from this place on Sunday morning, street is empty and the place is so tiny. But... This little place surprised us ! Great fresh coffee with fresh orange juice and the breakfast was so good, yogurt and fruits, sugar bread so fresh and good. Love it!

Carrot cake (more like a loaf bread) was really good. Late morning/ mid day they don't serve food, just the cakes, juices and coffees. The juice of the day was a delicious blend!

For all the days that we were here, we came to eat here every morning because they were so good! The portion is definitely good enough for an entire morning of tourism. The champion breakfast comes with omelet, bread, jam, carrot cake, etc. The big plate definitely fills you up for the day! One thing to note though is that they kept messing up our orders, so even though it wasn't a big mess up, literally every one of our dishes is always missing something. Breakfast is only served until 11 or 11:30, their lunch menu has mostly salad or sandwiches. I'm not a huge sandwich fan, but I'd have to say I really enjoyed those sandwiches! I absolutely loved my orange juice because it was so fresh! The hot chocolate came in a big mug, however was a bit too bitter even for me, so I'd add a package of sugar. I'm not a coffee snob, but my friends ordered different coffees, and they said the coffees are really amazing.

Little hole in the wall but definitely worth it. We had the omelette, scrambled egg with salmon and the french toast with mascarpone, and all of it was delicious. We left full and happy. If you are in paris and looking for brunch, do not hesitate to come here. You won't regret it!

Hands down the best espresso we found during our 2 weeks in Paris. (Most of the other cafes use pods or similar; we knew we'd like the coffee at Strada Cafe after seeing their genuine La Marzocco machine.) Cute interior, gracious servers (with impeccable English), yummy food. They also poured a pig and a bear with the 'hot chocolate art' (i.e., latte art, but for hot chocolate) for the kiddos who were thrilled: never seen those shapes before!

Fist time in Paris and this place was a great find! Delicious!! Must get the French Toast!! Worth the walk!

Not your typical Paris cafe but it's great in its own way. There's no outdoor seating and the baristas all seem to be British or Americans so it's very English friendly. They have yummy fresh juices on special and I ate this huge salad containing this most amazing beet mixture. Beware the credit card minimum. Embrace the strong wifi.

Great little cafe, had an awesome brunch here. The coffee was insanely good and the croque madam was great.

Perfect Paris breakfast place and surprisingly not crowded. I had the omelette with cheese, fresh squeezed OJ, best cup of coffee in Paris (with artful cream presentation). Staff spoke English, too. Great find.

Great banana bread and good coffee. Barista I interacted with seemed friendly, but kept insisting on speaking English despite my speaking French to him. Reduced from 4 to 2 stars bc an older woman who appears to be the/an owner seemed apathetic to my indication that the Wi-Fi wasn't working. Two other English-speaking customers and I were all in need of a solid connection, and she kind of shrugged her shoulders about the connectivity issue. Her solution was to go to another cafe. Missing the USA sense of service au moment haha

If you are a student, do NOT come here. This place is absolutely horrible. Traveled 30 minutes across Paris to study with a friend, and they told us we're not allowed to use our computers in their cafe during the weekend to study. VERY, VERY unfriendly toward students. Do NOT come here if you want to support a youth-friendly business.

Cute spot! Good wifi and really friendly employees. Had the breakfast of champions and it was all really tasty.

Delicious breakfast, huge portions so really gets you full for a day of tourism. Had the salmon eggs Benedict. They make their own sauce which which went well with the food. Eggs were overlooked but I don't mind personally. Loved the huge thick sliced bread. I LOVED the orange juice. Latte was good, but I'm no coffee expert lol. The staff was super helpful. Especially because he spoke English... Clean and cute coffee shop. Free wifi too!

The first Cafe we visited in Paris, it set the standard for slowing down to set an European pace vs the high speed pace when at home. Service is friendly, English is spoken by the staff, coffee is good and Internet is fast. We had brunch on a Saturday and it was terrific! Food quality was outstanding.

I found this cafe through TripAdvisor while I was on a trip with 20 other students and a professor. We were in Paris for a week, and when we had optional activities, I dragged one of my friends to this cafe. The interior is very small, but cozy. The highlight honestly is the barista, who is originally from Britain and was a flight attendant. He settled in Paris and never left. I'm sorry I forgot his name, but I went to this cafe in May. My friend and I tried 3 drinks each that we never heard about, and made good use of the free wifi. Wifi was very, very fast by the way. The cutest thing was the sugar that was shaped like a croissant. It was a very nice touch. :) I definitely recommend this cafe, even though it's a little out of the way. It's worth going to, and it's definitely NOT a touristic cafe.

Our first stop on a whirlwind weekend in Paris began here at the Strada Cafe. Someone had mentioned to me that it was the place to be for a great lunch, or even a petit dejeuner... It also serves Aussie/Brit like flat whites, perfect if you need a pick me up in a city that just doesn't do coffee right. (Even the Starbucks here taste a little subpar). Anyway, we both have a light lunch consisting of a croque monsieur, a champignon (mushroom) and ognion (onion) tarte. They both come with a nice green side salad and a tangy sweetish moutarde (mustard) dressing that was actually delightful. The croque monsieur was actually nice and light - and had a delicate balance between the ham and cheese. It wasn't too oily, but could have used a little bit more cheese and toasting. The mushroom and onion tarte was also really good... but the darling of this place has to be the coffee. I've never really had awesome coffee in Paris, but now that I know that this place exists, this is going to be my place to go for when I need a good pick me up.

Small gem in the heart of the Beaubourg neighborhood. The bright cursive light in the window will lure you in on a foggy day for a café au crème. The staff was very friendly and I found it to be particularly cozy.

My friend and I stayed in the Marais and Strada was conveniently down the street from our Airbnb. We ended up eating here every morning of our trip- breakfast was fresh, reasonably priced, delicious, and enough to keep all of our walking around fueled until late afternoon. The lattes are perfect and it helps to have a friendly and welcoming owner/staff. I will be back for a fresh cup and perfectly cooked eggs the next time I am in Paris!

Stumbled upon Strada while looking for late-morning breakfast. Everything about this cafe is exquisite.

The egg breakfast was ok, but the crazy cook was more interested in taking care of the store employees across the street, than the customers in the store. She made us wait a long time before preparing our food.

Went for breakfast. French toast is awesome. Cappuccino was great! Staff is friendly! Highly recommend.

Coffee is delicious. Breakfast is breakfast, so you won't get it after 11:30 on Saturday (and they don't serve it on Sunday, currently). Very low key, but quality in the heart of Paris.

Love this place. It was cute, small, and had a great vibe. The people that worked there were nice and friendly, they're good at speaking both French and English which helped a lot. We missed the breakfast but they still offered small pastries and offered to give us tartines. The cappuccino was one of the better ones around Paris in my opinion, a strong tasting blend and not overpowering with milk. Definitely recommend!

OK coffee in an OK cafe. I wouldn't come back here unless I was in dire need of a coffee and I was in the immediate area. It isn't a "destination cafe" like some others in Paris, but I guess it isn't trying to be.

Absolute best French toast in my life! Wonderful waiter. Friendly crowd. Clean and quaint.

I've had the omellete meal and the French toast and both were incredibly delicious. The people that work there are SO NICE!! Highly recommend.

Small 8 table gem tucked away in Marais. Wonderful service -- waitress immediately asked if we spoke French or english. Menu plus daily fare. I believe we are the only tourists here. Gazpacho light and delicious. Cajun chicken sandwich delicious. Salads perfect. VERY english friendly. Our waitress Rose was extremely friendly and helpful as she explained the menu in great detail!

We stayed in an apartment just behind Strada that was owned by the folks who own Strada. So, I hopped in a couple of mornings for coffee and everyone was really nice and made some great coffee and great fresh squeezed juice. I brought home some of their bags of coffee and didn't save any for myself but friends liked it! A great place to grab a coffee to go.
