And as good European bakeries are they are not too sweet. The cafe's go along well with the pastry and bakery items. Nice cute atmosphere to sit down. We really love this place!

Savoury lunch? CHECK! Can we now please discuss the most important aspect of Grumpy Cakes? The cakes and cookies! Sweets? CHECK! I have no words for it, except that you should transform yourself into Cookie Monster and stuff as many cookies, brownies, tartelettes in your mouth as possible! Tip from Flip: order the lunch 'combo' - you'll get savoury + lettuce + drink + cookie. You want it. Yes you do, yes you do!

Stumbled upon this extremely quaint and charming tea shop since the original breakfast place we…read morewanted to go to was closed for vacation. The inside of the shop is filled with books and old records. However, there was plenty of outdoor seating; I'm so glad we had the opportunity to sit down here. They have teas from all over the world and homemade tea as well. The tea shop owner was very friendly. If you want something very light, have a desire to take in France, and want to chat with friends, this is the place to stop by at. I wish the states had more places like this.

While the sun-filled terrace was tempting, I opted for table indoors with my companion in order to…read moreavoid carrying on a conversation in shades. You don't really have that problem in Paris since the skies are so grey, but it's true, talking to someone you first meet while wearing shades can come off as a little bit snob. So inside the charming, book-filled cafe at a cute corner table, I followed my companion's lead and ordered a home made ice tea not expecting much but it was fantastic.Thirst-quenching, well-dosed and just a wee bit sweet, I downed it and immediately ordered another.

Since I was early, I was one of only two tables, and luckily it was a slow night because the…read morewaitress was gone and the chef was acting as both waitress and cook! Brittany is known for its cider, butter, and crepes, so of course I ordered cider with my meal. After looking at the menu and seeing the poor chef/waitress alone, I ordered a large dinner salad with langoutines and herring on a bed of sea beans and lettuce dressed in a lemon dressing that was a perfect light meal. I went back on another night to try the crepes and there was a waitress, a manager, and the chef, so I asked for a recommendation from the waitress. She suggested the scallops with leeks in a butter cream sauce and it was delicious, if a bit too much for me to finish,since I wanted a dessert crepe :) One of the nice things about this place is they use organic flour and source ingredients locally, and the waitress and chef were both wonderfully warm. Dinner on both nights was less than 20 Euros or $24 USD including drinks when reserved online.
