Télescope Café

A little oasis for excellent coffee. Occasionally also perfect cakes and bread.This is my number one coffee shop in Paris. When I moved to Paris it took me a long time to find a good coffee shop as coffee wasn’t yet a big thing here in Paris. Telescope is now my little oasis in Paris for really excellent coffee. The owner Nicolas Clerc sometimes makes bread for sandwiches or Kouign-amann cakes - probably the best I've ever had in my life. It’s a very humble act of passion - the excellent cake is a reflection of the precision in his coffee too, as he’s calibrating the coffee machine between every couple of coffees. This place is just excellent
