Ten Belles Cherche Midi

The Left Bank branch of Ten Belles opened in 2019 on Rue du Cherche-Midi, in a white painted shopfront with the Ten Belles logo in the window and a short list of cafés, bread, lunch, pastries and roasting lettered on the glass. It is the one to know if you are shopping around Le Bon Marché, where locals, students and visitors drop in for a coffee, a cookie or a cold brew.

The house espresso is the Mixtape blend of Brazilian and Colombian coffees, roasted by Ten Belles, with rotating single origins alongside it, and the bags are sold at the counter next to the house made sourdough. A small terrace holds a few tables for lunch when the weather allows. The shop does not take reservations, and it closes in the late afternoon, earlier than the evening cafés of the neighbourhood.
