Address:?200 Quai de Valmy, go inside Point ?ph?m?re, 75010 Paris-10th arrondissement Metro: Jaures Looks can be deceiving right?

"Coin cosy" as we say in French, translates to cosy corner and the new coffee shop Passager in the 12th arrondissement a few meters from the metro Bastille has both charm and a cosy factor that will lure the most demanding of coffee lovers. Nothing but the best and freshest ingredients, and beans roasted from another one of my favorite coffee places on earth - Five Elephant in Berlin! ?With floors that are totally worthwhile of the hashtag #ihaveathingwithfloors ?- as we pretend not to be hipste[...]
