Folks & Sparrows recently opened on the borders of Le Marais, just across Boulevard Beaumarchais from Merci. This coffee shop / épicerie fine is opened by Franck, a French man who has spent quite some years in New York before coming back to Paris. What you can find here: hip and cosy decor, coffee and cakes, sandwiches, a selection of artisanal packaged foods, and a slow and easy ambience. What I liked most about this place is that, unlike many Parisien cafes, it does not tries to maximize seating by stuffing in as many tables as possible. The breathing space is definitely appreciated.

Rachel’s cakes (€4 each). The New York Cheesecake is really very lovely, but we were disappointed by the matcha/raspberry and the lemon poppy seeds cakes, which were quite dry.

Latte (€4). It’s not the same as what you’d find at Fondation Cafe, but it’s fine.

A pleasant space to rest your feet when in the neighborhood. The friendly service is a big plus, too.
