Back in Black

Plenty of options for breakfast and good quality coffee for Paris!

I had a best brunch experience in Paris with great matching between high-quality coffee and delicious food! For sure I’m gonna come back for the next trip in Paris 100%

I visited Black in Black in Bastille and had mixed feelings about the experience. The coffee is genuinely excellent. It’s specialty-grade, well-extracted, and full of flavor — easily one of the better cups I’ve had in the area. If you appreciate proper specialty coffee, this place delivers. The atmosphere is also pleasant and relaxed, making it a nice spot to sit and enjoy a drink. However, the food pricing does not match the value offered. I ordered pancakes with one egg, two slices of bacon, and syrup, and it cost €15. For that price point, I would expect either a more generous portion or more refined presentation. Other menu items, such as eggs Benedict with extra salmon, are priced similarly, which makes the pancake option feel particularly overpriced by comparison. In short: come for the coffee — it’s very good. But I would recommend skipping breakfast or brunch here, as the portions do not justify the cost.

I had a cappuccino and scone with salmon and dill. Cappuccino: first sip surprised me with pronounced unique flavor. The flavor hits the back of the hard pallet. This coffee does not have bitterness from being burned. Even after it cooled down, it was tasty. I actually enjoyed the taste of it after cooled down. It's definitely smooth. And the form was perfect. If I had more space in my luggage I would totally want to buy the beans to take home! Scone: simply well done. I think this resembles American Biscuit but texture is well made scone. It was delicious. It's so light and tasty that I can probably eat a dozen! Atmosphere: very chill. Perfect for late lunch. It does not make you feel weird for earing solo. Some people were reading and some were on the laptop. Waiter: Very sweet. His easy going attitude and welcoming smile (can you imagine getting a smile in Paris!) gets gold star from me! ( Who cares about my gold star 😆 ) I highly recommend this coffee shop for delicious light meal and coffee.

I had brunch at this bar on a Saturday with friends. The bartender found promptly table for the 4 of us. The service was very quick and kind. The ambient is not as cozy as other places with less decorative style but rather modern. Dishes are simple but quite flavorful. Prices are affordable.
