I have had the wonderful fortune of being able to visit Paris twice in the last few years and for a…read morecity that didn't even make it to my top 20 places to visit in my lifetime, it is an incredible metropolis that you should really consider passing through, at least for a week. The culture and history are amazing (which are givens) but what will totally knock you off your feet is the food. People will tell you that but it will still shock you when you put a pastry or a bite of a galette (of the sort from the Brittany region) in your mouth. Okay, all of that is to say that while there are great things to experience in Paris, you will find that service is not exactly what one would call friendly or hospitable. I get it, I'm an American and Yanks are entitled and pompous. I totally understand that and I know that no matter how much I jump up and down, shouting to you that I'm not that way (especially since I'm the child of immigrant parents of an extremely humble background), you will remain skeptical. That's okay. I have come to understand that Parisians are not what we here in the States would consider exactly "warm." But I accept the cultural difference and am more than happy when I can have a cordial exchange with business owners/managers and their employees. I don't speak French, but I learned the obligatory "Parlez-vous anglais?" in deference to the country's official language. I heard the cashier speak English to the customer in front of me but when it was my turn, both she and the manager on shift looked at me blankly so I politely (and timidly) asked my question. The man acted indifferently and said flatly, "A little." So I ordered my cappuccino, feeling embarrassed. I paid and left. I understand that Parisians are tired of Americans and their expectation that everyone speaks English (I have witnessed this and know it to be generally true) but when your customer tries to communicate with you and your place of business is in an international airport (8th busiest in the world in passenger traffic, at that), you would think you could be a bit more understanding. I won't change the world or this place with my review, but there you have my two cents. Oh, and the cappuccino was quite good.

She said absolutely not then her and her co-worker started ignoring us. Other customers were trying to help explain the issue, but the women working the counter completely ignored the fact that they spent all our voucher money.

It was in the airport, it had basic food, and well, it simply was convenient. What more could you want? Well, for the coffee to not be puke-inducing... Forget that my companion had an Orangina and some type of sandwich. Forget, too, that I had a hefty croissant that happened to be cold but nonetheless fluffy. It was a freezing day and I wanted coffee. The coffee truly wasn't anything to write home about, but it was keeping me warm. I was thinking meh, it could be better, it could be worse, but as we began our trek out of this hell of an airport, I wound up having to find a poubelle (that's French for trash can by the way) because whoop, there it went. My coffee, that is. Non merci. Never again!

We were there around 5:30-6am and they had just opened. And there was already a line of people waiting. This seems to be a good spot to grab breakfast or snacks before your flight. They have backed goods like croisants, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. And they have fresh fruit cups, juice and sandwiches. The coffee menu is pretty basic. My fiancé got a coffee and said it was alright. His fruit cup was decent. I ordered a cookie (chocolate chip with caramel), and a blueberry muffin. Both were just okay.

We walked the terminal a couple of times before agreeing to pop into here. Their dining room was fairly open when we arrived, but their bar was hopping. We grabbed one of the small tables in the middle, doing our best to stow our carry-on luggage out of the way of wait staff and other patrons. I wasn't sure we'd be sticking around at first, because the waiter didn't seem all that interested in helping us. But, once he came over the first time, it was fine. He took our orders - we both got the breakfast combo; I got the smoked salmon and he got the bacon - and then he hurried off to get our coffee (included with the combo, not a bad deal). The dining room started to fill up as we sat there, and I watched the waiter (who, I admit, I didn't give much credit to initially) deftly manage the large group of elderly women, the family of four, the outwardly grumpy couple and the businessman in a hurry without breaking a sweat. Breakfast was decent, nothing to scream about. The combo came with a choice of protein (which I detailed above), eggs, potatoes, and bread. It filled me up just fine, which is what I wanted from the meal.
