Fragments

Tucked down a quiet street to the north of the Marais, the Fragments café offers a simple and accessible coffee menu, spanning just espressos, cappuccinos and ice lattes, each served with either a single or double shot. Though the choice is very much limited, the brews are excellent and well suited to the various home made breakfast items on offer, like the granola with yoghurt and fruit (€8), the banana porridge with dulce de leche (€8) or the popular avocado toast (€9). For lunch, there’s a decent variety of soups and salads, while freshly prepared desserts like the luscious iced lemon cake (€4) are available all day. Cosy though the red-brick space may be, the café’s chilled atmosphere makes it a great spot for both coffee-craving freelancers and friends after a relaxed setting for a catch-up.
