The Great Coffee Search...
So, today I had my first flat white in Paris- what an absolute treat that was! Those of you who know me will know that I am a sucker for a cute cafe and a cup of the good stuff! Up until now I have had to settle for the rather acrid espresso shots and have been suffering serious withdrawals. The French excel in a lot of things but the creation of a good coffee is not one of them… at least until now. So where did I find my salvation I hear you ask? Well, a stones throw from Pigalle Metro down Rue des Martrys (what I later found to be a gastronomic delight in itself) you will happen upon a seeminly nameless joint. Fashionably perched on the corner of Rue Trudaine, quaint Parisian balconies overlooking a leafy green sqaure to the right and a towerning view of the tip of the Sacre Coeur directly ahead; here sits KB Cafe in all it’s welcoming and unpretentious glory.
A haven for bean enthusiasts and the growing coffee shop worker masses alike, this mall but perfectly equipped hangout is a must. A delicious counter display of healthy goodies, towering sandwiched and of course, the obligatory cake to satisfy any sweet tooth. I managed to resist on this occasion but was quite taken by the brunch menu which I will most definitely be sampling in the near future!
the impressive array of tools and utensils instantly met my eye and encouraged a nod of confidence. These guys are professionals. Scientists of their trade encouraging support for local manufacturers as well as those tried and tested favourites. Big thumbs up from me- I am still jittering from the brew. Thanks Team KB!
