If it's cold out, I'm guessing there's room for 10-15 people inside if you get real cozy. Motors Coffee has the best merchandise I've seen at a coffee shop: I spotted keytags[2], stickers, and lighters. I went for a Hot Wheels-inspired lighter and have no regrets. Motors just dropped a new lighter design (check their Instagram @motorscoffee). Credit accepted. They have a loyalty card so you can keep track of all the coffee you're drinking, and eventually get a free coffee. [1] In a hip Parisian way. [2] Pretty sure they're from Various Keytags, an awesome Brooklyn-based company.

I write this to you, my dear reader, back at my desk at this soul crushing 9-5 job hoping,…read moredreaming, wishing of having one last Motors Coffee run on our Paris trip. It was head and shoulders our favorite coffee shop in the City of Light, and we lowkey made our rounds. It's a small shop, but filled to the brim with life and passion. I'm normally not a pastry guy, but if I lived anywhere near Motors I would absolutely be a pastry guy. The cinnamon roll was light and delicate, as opposed to the overly sweet and dense ones I'm used to. We also got a vanilla pastry they were testing, and a sugar cookie with milk chocolate drizzled on top. Ugh, take me back, inject these into my veins. I got my goto hot black coffee, and you could taste the freshness of the beans. My girlfriend got a latte that had the most beautiful little flower art on it. How do they even do that? I'm proud of myself, as I knew even when we were sitting in here enjoying our pastries, hot coffees, and each other's company that this was a moment I would look back on and cherish. It's always great knowing it's one of those moments when you're actually in it. You can fully appreciate it. My one regret is that I didn't get the ladies name serving us, as she was so sweet, recommended great pastries, and was just a pleasant human being. They don't make em like sis anymore...

We found Café Blanc very close to where we were staying and we are very glad we did. We were…read morequickly seated and the waiter was very helpful going over the menu. I started off with an Expresso Martini which was very good and yes this is how it is spelled here and I like that because that is how I always pronounce it. With our drinks our waiter even brought us out fresh olives. Now I'm not the biggest fan but Ashley very much enjoyed it. There was a lot on the menu that I was interested in and they had a number of different cuts of beef but I had to go with the Whole Duck Breast which is also a French classic which I got cooked medium rare but I'm perfect sure that's how they suggest it which is the right way like they do with all their beef too. Ashley and I also split the French Onion Soup. I will say by Duck was very good. Tasty rich sauce with crispy duck skin cooked perfectly. Some of the best duck I have had in awhile. I will say the French Onion Soup though was a little bland. I just didn't have that rich beef broth I am used too. Beside that everything was very good and would for sure recommend going to Café Blanc for a nice menu which amazing French options.

We spoke to a lady who was American but moved to Paris years ago. She recommended the chocolate hazelnut which changed her life. So us fat kids sampled the 6 flavors which the girl brought us inside the business to give us the samples. I then told her large she gave me extra large with 5 scoops. We got lemon ice, coffee gelato, chocolate chip, chocolate hazelnut and the chocolate fondue. Everything was delicious. But I think we were gelatoed out and the lemon ice was amazing ! Everything was good but the lemon stood out. It was just more refreshing as we walked Disney Paris all day then walked from metro to the stores. Then we met the store owner who was really sweet and we chatted for a bit and then said hey do you want something to go? I said no it's ok and then she said here have more lemon ice. My wife and I destroyed that as well. She was so sweet. She said it doesn't make you fat since it's just water and sugar and fresh lemon. I said yeah it will lol. I'd come back.

The Josephine crepe with egg, cheese, spinach, bacon and cream was rich and flavorful. The Ile se la Cote crepe with chicken, mushrooms, cream had less depth but the mushrooms were super fresh. We also shared a side salad which was generous in size and filled with lots of lettuce and a tangy dressing. We also split two sweet crepes. The Chatelet crepe with cinnamon, caramelized apples and vanilla ice cream of course tasted like traditional apple pie, but in crepe form. The Alessia crepe with salted butter caramel and bananas was perhaps the best of the four crepes we ate. Service was a bit brusque, but ultimately it did not detract from the meal.
