Boot Café
Specialty coffee — Les Archives (Paris)
About
Tucked away in a former cobbler's shop in the Marais, Boot Café is a micro Parisian coffee shop that embodies contemporary urban coffee culture. Situated in a tiny 4m² space, this charming spot retains its original blue facade and vintage 'Cordonnerie' sign. Created by designer Phil Euell and Elsa Dahan, this café offers an intimate coffee experience using beans from the renowned Brûlerie de Belleville. The interior is a visual delight: white tiles, colorful stools, artistic photos, and a distinctly New York-inspired atmosphere. The menu features carefully prepared coffees (espresso, cortado, filter), accompanied by delicious homemade cakes and fresh fruit scones. Pastries, often crafted by Emperor Norton, perfectly complement a minimalist yet high-quality coffee selection. A must-visit spot for coffee enthusiasts and secret Paris address hunters.

Le BOOT café : plus petit coffee shop de Paris
Those who follow me on Instagram may have seen that I’ve just been back from a lovely weekend in Paris (and miss it already!). No matter how often I go back, I feel there’s not enough time to revisit old favourite spots and try some new ones. But this time I prioritized and made sure to cross Boot Cafe off my list right away. See Paris’ coffee scene is underway a revolution and I’m on a mission to track down some of its greatest spots which include Cafe Kitsune and Ob-La-Di. Housed in what used to be a shoe repair shop, this tiny coffee bar in the Marais is aptly named Boot Cafe. Stepping into this hole-in-the-wall cafe makes you feel as if you’re actually squeezing into a shoe box but as they say, good things come into small packages. The owners, furniture designer Phil Euell and Elsa Dahan, have done a wonderful job renovating the space into a charming little nook with white-tiled walls, colourful chairs, fresh flowers and a marble counter where the baristas work their magic. I also love that the owners chose to keep the original blue facade with the “Cordonnerie” sign – isn’t it lovely? Boot Cafe supplies its coffee from Belleville Brûlerie, a micro-roaster you can find close to the Buttes-Chaumont park in Paris. As the sign on the wall indicates “these coffees are made for walking” but my friends and I decided to stay a for a little while. Since both tables inside were already taken, we happily grabbed our seats on the quiet little terrace and enjoyed our cortado “sur place”. Having already passed by the nearby Marché des Enfants Rouges we were pretty full but that didn’t stop us from scoffing down a freshly-baked scone with apricot jam and a slice of cake. If you’re a coffee aficionado, an Instagramer or are just looking for a great little place to stretch your feet in the Marais, try Cafe Boot and don’t forget to send me a picture! Oh, and when you’re done, head to the nearby Merci for a spot of shopping. SANDY (@SMARKSTHESPOTS)

Boot Café - Paris, France | European Coffee Trip
Le Boot Café, un nouveau coffee shop à Paris, situé dans le quartier du Haut-Marais, vous accueille dans une ambiance chaleureuse et très cosy. Le nom même est un véritable clin d’oeil à cette ancienne cordonnerie ainsi que le logo qui représente une botte. La décoration rappelle tout de suite les coffee shops new-yorkais que j’affectionne particulièrement avec un mélange de photos très lifestyle, des magazine de mode, des fleurs fraîches et…l’odeur du café qui embaume la petite pièce de 4m² ! * * * En spécialiste du café, le Boot Café vous propose un vrai bon café espresso, noisette, crème, cortado (café au lait) ou filtre chemex, à consommer sur place ou à emporter (attention il n’y a que 2 petites tables). Il y en a donc pour tous les goûts. Mélodie, l’une des baristas, qui m’a accueillie avec son bel accent américain et sa bonne humeur, m’a également précisé que les grains viennent directement de la réputée Brûlerie de Belleville, une valeur sûre. Cela ravira sûrement les amateurs de café. Tous les produits sont faits maison. Côté sucré, vous avez le choix entre des cakes, cookies, granolas, fruits frais (mangue, ananas, papaye) que vous pourrez accompagner d’une orange pressée ou d’un jus de noix de coco, si vous préférez une boisson fraîche. J’y suis allée pour un petit-déjeuner et je me suis régalée d’une généreuse part de cake aux pommes et à la cardamome, vraiment délicieux ! Le Boot Café vous propose un brunch le dimanche avec notamment un congee : porridge de riz cuit, saumon mariné, gingembre et sésame. Si vous passez dans le quartier, je vous invite à faire une pause gourmande au Boot Café…en plus il a un charme fou !

BOOT CAFE PARIS - Paris, France | Coffee Insurrection - Coffee Insurrection
You’d most likely only run into Boot Cafe in the Marais area of Paris, by hazard because it’s on such a quint little street that doesn’t get much traffic foot or car. Which means you can enjoy a cup of jo in sweet tranquility at the bar or at one of their 2 tables ( yes you read that right – like I said they are tiny!) Address: [19 rue du pont aux choux, Paris 75003] But what they lack in size they make up in character ( some good things do come in small packages). After chatting up Melodie at the bar I got to talking about her band, life in Paris, and the decor of all the postcards on the walls. You can even buy back issues of the old magazines on display. It’s said that this cafe is made for walking – as the space is so small – but I’ve found that instead of take-away I just wanted to stay and enjoy my coffee there. For years I’ve passed this little spot – before it was a coffee shop – and admired the blue “Cordonnerie”* sign / door from the outside. (*Cobbler) You’ll be happy to find great coffee here now (from Belleville roasters) with a warm service from the friendly baristas. When I visited the cakes and other pastries were made by Emperor Norton. * super cute cafe decor * great coffee * pastries from emporer norton * no credit cards accepted * In the Marais – close to Le Progres, Candelera, Cheap Monday address: Boot Cafe, 19 Rue du Pont aux Choux, 75003 Paris, France metro: Saint-S?bastien-Froissart (Line 8) opening hours: 10am to 6pm map it:
