This is also one of those places where I’m like, “why didn’t I just search for ‘cupcake Paris’ in Google beforehand?’. It is tucked away right between the Marais and Bastille right by Place des Vosges. Cupcakeries in Paris have yet to lack cuteness. This place has mismatching old-fashioned écolier chairs and tables with doilies everywhere. Stop in for a tea + a cupcake or even a slice of the delicious daily cakes. They also serve bagels, soups, salads and the likes for brunch/lunch/gouter but I have yet to try those.

The flavors at this cupcakerie are unique and fun: such as rose praline, caramel beurre salé or chocolate speculoos. There was also a citrus cupcake that I tried once that was interestingly delicious. I had never had a citrus cupcake before!

Huddle in to escape the cold.

Le Loir dans la Theiere = The Wolf in the Teapot

Doesn’t this place just look so cozy?

A break from the cold is always nice, and a specially-made tea can be the perfect cherry on top. I had heard many things about this little abode, and often wonder why I hadn’t ventured over earlier. I went on a weekday, when it is a lot more calm and a bit more peaceful as it is in the heart of the Marais (I highly suggest weekdays for this area to avoid long lines and the likes).

The walls are filled with colorful murals and all of the mis-matching chairs and posters will keep your eyes wandering. Along the back wall when you enter is a wooden bar filled with desserts and snacks— I warn you, it will be hard to decide what to take. As I am lemon tart obsessed, I could not resist tasting theirs, and it was the perfect accompaniment with their “loir mélange” tea. CHECK OUT THAT WHIPPED MERINGUE GOODNESS.

I highly suggest this place to pop in and chat with a friend or read. Very relaxing ambiance (on a weekday at least, ha!) I hear their brunch is fantastic yet crowded. If you give it a whirl, let me know how it is!

(Note: This is not the type of café to go to and study with your computer, they actually bluntly put a note on the door reading: “Pas de PC”…so attention a ca quand meme!)

Happy May Day!!!!

Nothing says Saturday afternoon like a cupcake from Berko in the friendly Pompidou area. Above we had the Blueberry Cupcake, Rasberry Cupcake and the Caramel Cupcake- all of which were divine.

Pop in for a snack or grab it to go for a treat later on.

C’est le bonheur!

Fill your tummy with a delicious bagel sandwich and a lovely glass of bubble tea (fresh drink with tapioca pearls that you suck through a fat straw).

A bubble tea is about 4,50euro, and a pinch cheaper for a small. A bagel sandwich is around 5euro. A lovely place for an early afternoon snack after a long night, uh huh.
