This is now one of my favorite cafes/tea shops in Toulouse - it will now be one of my staples of…read moreplaces to go to read, work, or catch up with friends. The place is actually decently large, with many tables and chairs so you're not fighting for space, and the ambiance is very cozy and homey. I love being surrounded by 2 long walls of books, and the decor is also lovely with different chairs, tables, etc. so that it's not all homogenous. They have WiFi, and other people are on their laptops working here, so it's a great place to come and get some work done. There are a lot of people just chatting here too, so it's not super quiet in here if you need a lot of silence to get work done (or just bring a pair of headphones). They serve salads and tartines here (but I have yet to try the savory food) and they are reasonably priced. I tried the leopard gateau and it was delicious - I had a similar pastry in Paris at Cyril Lignac and loved it -- I was looking for it all over in Toulouse and I've finally found it. If you love almond and chocolate, it's the perfect dessert/snack, and not too expensive at 2€. They have a wide selection of teas as well, and 4-5 choices of little cakes/sweets. All in all, one of my favorite places in Toulouse to spend an afternoon. I'll definitely be a regular here now!
