There are so many lovely, even ecstatically delicious, pastry shops in Paris but not so many that invite you to come in, sit down, and enjoy that fresh berry crumble with a hot chocolate or a pot of tea. Even fewer are hidden away in a pedestrian only passageway in the heart of the St. Germain-des-Pres. This colorful little cafe and tea shop offers the most delicious baked goods such as berry-bursting fresh berry crumbles. Pair any (or all!) of that with a good, stiff frothy coffee drink or a pot of tea and you have yourself a delicious respite from the frantic city. The location, once you've found it, is easy as pie to get to. It's tucked into a pedestrian only passageway. That is what adds to its magic and also makes you feel like you've sprinted away to some tea and cake fairyland cafe.

- Cafés: "Hot chocolate and a fresh crumble. That's what you come here for. Once you start to get to know Paris, you begin to realize that there is the Paris that is visible to the naked eye, and one you must seek out. This little cafe belongs to the latter category."
- Best for Cafés Because: A quiet place. A delicious piece of cake or pie. A hot pot of tea or coffee. These simple pleasures are universal.
