(There are some other coffee shops in Paris that are similar in style, but if you *don't* eat animals and their secretions, any time you go to one of those "cool type" shops you have to settle for just a cuppa.) No! Us vegans want something to EAT, by jove. Thank God for Grounded. Everything is delicious and creatively presented, the hot chocolate is actually made with melted dark chocolate (um, SO GOOD,) and their menu is always evolving with the seasons. AMAZING food, guys. I'll be back -- hungry -- for more of their savory fare.

I made sure to scope out some great vegan spots before I visited Paris, and I can definitely say…read moreI'm glad I put this place on the list of restaurants to eat at! The two items we ordered were both SO good. We ordered some sort of toast that has almond butter, hazelnut butter, jam, and coconut flakes. It had the perfect amount of sweetness to satisfy a slight morning sweet tooth. The other item we ordered was the bowl of the month (or maybe it's the bowl of the week?) It, too, was wonderful, and so filling! Grounded is really cute and cozy inside, but I will say that it was HOT in this small space. Also, there isn't much seating in here. Maybe enough for 12-15 people. Still, the food here is incredible and the man working at the counter was so kind. Definitely stop in here if you can!

Super soft meringues that are so light and airy. Not even an exaggeration to say that they literally melt in your mouth - although they look large in the photo, they're super easy to eat as they're super airy. Also love how they're not ridiculously sweet. Definitely recommend!

I didn't know what to expect as I wasn't sure what I was about to experience based on pictures. However, as we came in, the product was being prepared in the window. It's basically meringue with cream inside and outside. Each meringue is flavored differently, and chocolate with accompanying flavor is stick to the outside cream layer. When you bight into this magical cloud, you feel like you bight into a mass of airy cloud that is the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. We tried the coffee and chocolate flavor, and both were divine. Given their numerous locations, you have a pretty good chance of walking into this magical cloud place. I suggest you visit it if you are ever in Paris, because my taste buds never experienced anything like this in the states.

There's many restaurants around here that you can check out. I got an iced latte and enjoyed it as well took a short break. They also provide free in-store wifi so you can save on your data plan while browsing the internet. The vibe was a bit disturbed by the loud construction happening on Rue Mouffetard, so you might hear some of that if they're still working on it.

Celebrated for his Kouign Amann, less tightly formed than others but certainly not lacking for Butter or Sugar, Canele lack the expected crisp exterior while Blé Sucré's "Brest" lacks the signature shape and would better be called a Hazelnut Religeuse instead.

Only caveat...I can't be in a hurry if I do this. He's chatty, in a good way, and will spend time explaining the qualities of the product even though there is a line. Patience is rewarded in doses of caffeine. Bulk tea and fancy chocolates are nice draws.

The pastries are masterly executed, there are both traditional French pastries, such as eclairs and co, and wonderful original creations that mix French traditional fare with Asian ingredients, such as mango, osmanthus, green tea, black sesame, litchi etc. My favorite ones are BW, light white mousse with black sesame filling, Fei, a green tea genoise and adzuki jam creation, Tasha, a play on litchi that feels like eating a litchi cloud. I'm looking forward to try the aptly named puits du souvenir that contain a chocolate mousse with osmanthus (the flower that gives the name to the place) pear and walnuts. The prices are from 3 euros to 5,50 ca. There are also big cakes and made to order celebrations cakes. You can also eat there while drinking a jasmine or osmanthus tea, the place is super cozy with wooden chairs, nice dishes and pastry magazines to browse while waiting for the tea/coffee. The owner is very nice. It's totally worth the trip if you don't live in the neighborhood!

Tucked away on a side street near the basilica, the cafe was definitely quieter than those on the main road and seemed to be occupied by mainly locals. I ordered a cortado and sat down at a table with my family while we waited. It appeared that the seating area on the ground floor was reserved for customers who wanted to sip their coffee and hang out, while the lower floor was intended for customers with laptops. Once the barista finished preparing our espresso, she delivered the drinks to the table. The cortado was bold yet smooth and struck the perfect ratio of milk to espresso. We were grateful to have found a cozy place to relax and enjoy an excellent espresso to fuel our hike up to the basilica.
