Very friendly staff and awesome view on the Notre-Dame cathedral . Try the cakes , they are delicious

Katy Zack

Walk past Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame and Marche des Fleurs to the city 's best bookstore . Get lost and pick up a classic by Hemingway or Fitzgerald to read at the cafe next door.

Aidan Tan

Coffee was pleasant but the price was exorbitant due to its affiliation to the great man and the likelihood of Quasimodo having frequented the place for his morning coffee all those years ago.

Chris Phillips

Coffee from LOMI made well by friendly staff . Try the cold brew if the weather is hot!

Mesha

Fantastic place for reading freaks. Wouldn't mind it though if they had a greater second hand collection. But probably there just isn't enough money in that ..

Mitya Kibirev

Одно из немногих мест на этом берегу , где варят достойный кофе . Можно взять с собой — капучино за 4,5€, флэт уайт и латте за 5.

Küçücük, lezzetli yemek ve kahveleri olan, Shakespeare and Company’den aldığınız kitapları karıştırıp çevreyi seyredebileceğiniz güzel cafe. Tabi yer bulursanız :)

В Париже сложно найти хороший кофе , но это как раз тот случай: вкусный кофе , широкий выбор, приятная атмосфера

Clássico parisiense. Uma loucura a livraria , apertada, mas vale a pena conhecer.

Café bio et bieres de chez Deck&Donohue. Une pause gourmande bien placée.
