Located right in front of the Église Saint-Maurice, is this amazing organic café. Really friendly…read morestaff, great coffee and delicious organic food pretty much sum it up. I had flat bread with avocado, feta and olives and a capuccino for a very decent price (France standards...) while enjoying a great playlist and a fantastic view. I recommend you sit by the window or outside in order to have a great view of the church and let time pass while watching people walk by. In spite of the music it is very calm and peaceful, so go ahead and bring that book. There is wifi too in case you (like me) are foreign and need to yelp every single place you visit or if you need to tell your family you are still alive. Since there are so many other beautiful places in France I'll probably won't go back, but I'll go ahead and give this place 5 stars :) Mucho love, D.

I tried their raspberry tart, since, well, this is the land of delicious and fresh raspberry tarts. It just didn't reach the expectations. It didn't seem fresh and seemed more like the outcome of a factory conveyor belt and not the result of freshly made that morning with uniqueness and perfection. You're in France. Go to a bakery that is not part of a world wide chain and isn't even good anyway. Find one of those French bakeries that are one of it's kind and have been family run for generations while they still exist!

Lovely welcoming café/restaurant on one of Lille's pretty main squares. Seating is at large wooden…read moretables replete with the tantalising in-house selection of large glass jars, containing homemade conserves and nut butters. If you're tempted to try them, I highly recommend the breakfast, based on their delicious country bread which you can tailor to your own tastes, by adding a choice of drinks and more copious items. For me, the highlight was this tasty wholesome bread enhanced with the contents of some of the aforementioned jars. Easily kept me going until the evening! The coffee was good too and it was very tempting to buy some of their scrumptious wares on the way out...

Pretty hard to find a decent cup in France but these guys hit the hammer on the head. Cute decoration and a variety of homemade cakes and other stuff. The sandwiches are premade, but I guess that's customary in France. We had one that was just made that minute and it was so tasty. Very friendly also.

I had seen recommendations saying this was a calm and quiet place to enjoy a coffee, but unfortunately that wasn't my experience since it was very crowded and noisy when I visited.

They were at around 10 euros per burger but they were really flavourful ones. Apart from their burgers, we also tried their dessert, which I wish I could have tried all of them.

Recommended by my dear friend Diane, we had our breakfast here at the trendy Be Yourself! on a…read moreSunday. When we arrived, we were a bit confused and had to figure out how things worked here at Be Yourself! because of our poor French. First of all, you can opt for the buffet on Sunday and pick whatever you like from the buffet. But it's also possible to order a la carte at the cash register. There's a fridge on the right hand side of the ground floor of this establishment where you can grab your juices, pre packaged drinks or desserts. I forgot the name of the dish I ordered a la carte, but it had pancakes with cream cheese on it, cured salmon, bacon and a savory muffin and it was delicious. I also loved my cherry smoothie. I really liked how Be Yourself! is decorated, especially the stairs with the red walls with paintings and portraits. There is some extra seating area on the first floor. And the lavatory room here is called "Pipi room". The staff at Be Yourself is very young, they could be students or maybe scholars. The staff is very friendly and they tried to accomodate us by speaking to us in English. Because even though we tried our best, our French was really poor, especially the morning after hanging out at the wine bar all night.
