I'm super excited that coffee shop Fragments is now open in the Marais / Bastille area of Paris. The bigger space is an upgrade to the now defunct "Black Market Cafe"?run by the same folks. What can I say I'm as loyal as they come to good service and great coffee. You see, they were the first ones that got me hooked on drinking good coffee in Paris - the switch from the best chai was hard for me. Keep in mind this gang was making good coffee in paris before everyone was wearing big glasses[...]

Inside the gardens of the Palais Royal you'll find the new Cafe Kitsune; good coffee in a small yet streamlined space inside the Galerie de Montpensier. Expect to find knowledgable baristas serving international coffee in the Maison Kitsune aesthetic: clean and fresh. The space is small, no seating space.

"Savoir the moment, taste the coffee, enjoy the music, be present" I tell myself. Well, as you can see from[...]
