Upon the invitation of my dear friend Frank, I stopped into speciality coffee shop Cuppa Cafe. Located near Musee d'Orsay for some great coffee on a quiet little back street in the 7th arrondissement run by owners Sarah and David. This spot wins on everything homemade and high quality. Lord knows I don't make it over to this side of Paris enough! But it was so worth it - the tiny cafe was so quaint and peaceful I can't wait to go back - and obviously have to share with you loves. There are so[...]
Like a Sunday in NYC - Soho to be exact! This new healthy food spot and coffee shop was the place for my weekend brunch "en famille" Full of good vibes like the frames spelled out over the cozy indoor seating and insta ready decor. Couples, families, and everyone that you can find in a little village of all ages dining, talking and laughing. The energy was peaceful, fun and topped off with delicious food. I first settled in with a cappuccino at the quiet outdoor seating area (coffee roasted[...]

We stopped into the new Partisan Cafe last week and wanted to show you guys a few photos from the interiors and coffee, of course. They roast their own! The space is HUGE - well, for Paris that is. You'll have lots of light coming in from the massive wall to wall glass walls (that will open up to a terrace in warm weather). For right now (they've only been open 2 weeks) they don't serve hot food as the kitchen is not fully set up. But we did enjoy a really nice croissant and coffee.[...]
Spring is in the air! But you couldn't really tell in Paris. It's been raining a LOT - but today I'm seeing lots of sunshine (see the Insta LIVE video from this morning en Terrace!). So I'd day pack a light jacket still - but you won't really need a coat if you're coming to Paris in April. The cherry blossoms are out in full swing, despite the weather mood swings! So come the end of April we'll be seeing more pink! Not so good news is there is a massive "greve" strike by the transportati[...]
