    This place is SO GOOD. I WISH I had something like this back home in CA. Definitely a great place…read morefor lunch.

    Oh so close! I…read morereally wanted to like this place a lot but it all comes down to the food: it just was not as good as it could have been. They've been open for about 7 months and its owned / operated by a group of sharply dressed, cool looking, and welcoming Parisian hipsters. It is a tiny place with wall-counter seating in the front and a couple tables in the back. As most Americans know (or at least those who ate lunch in my county's public school system), you must have your tomato soup to go along with your grilled cheese. They were out! Not just the "soupe de la saison" but also the tomato soup.. doh! I ordered both the "mac & cheese"(10Euro) and "pastrami" fabrication (14 Euro) (my wife is out of town so I have no one to talk me down!). With a bottle of Mimi's beer (another product of Paris) it came out to a total of 31 Euros. You need to pick from white or rye bread for the sandwiches (at least those were my available choices). The biggest issue I had was with the temperature of the sandwiches. The level of gooiness was inversely proportional to the depth of the sandwich from the surface (sorry, I'm back in school for my masters and this is how every professor talks). Both sandwiches were not hot or gooey in the center. There were unmelted cheese bits all over the place. So much potential gooiness gone to waste! And this is not because I brought the sandwich home (a 5 min walk). It was never melted to begin with! I thought about nuking the sandwich but my hunger (and laziness) prevented me from getting up. The guy preparing my sandwiches (can you really call someone preparing grilled cheese sandwiches "Chef"?) highly recommended the mac n cheese. It was my least favorite of the two. Both of the sandwiches came with some of their homemade tomato sauce which was a tasty sweet concoction. It worked better with the mac n cheese which was also a sweet sandwich (from the caramelized onions). The flavors were underwhelming in general but I could attribute that to my preference for bolder flavors. I preferred the pastrami sandwich but it again was missing something. I asked for bacon on top and that was definitely a good addition. I think offering hots or a kosher pickle with the pastrami would be a nice addition. I'll go again if someone wants to get a grilled cheese fix but there is so much more of Paris cuisine to try....
