I had a great baguette, tea and a coconut dessert. My partner had a bagel, fruit salad and juice. The language barrier was stressful but it's our fault for not being well prepared with our food ordering in french. The cafe is clean and bright.

Menu has bagels, salads, quiches and pastries. Unlike other restaurants, the entire menu was available in the morning, and we waited only a few minutes until all the vegetables were chopped. The problem was that the seller did not know a word in English, and it was difficult to understand us. Each of us ordered a bagel breakfast, including bagels,... More

Realising we looked rather unsure of whether to either sit down or order at the counter and also that we couldn't speak French, the waiter happily talked us through the menu and options in perfect English.

My kids and I were in Paris for a week. We had breakfast at Brook's four times. We loved their croissants. The lady working there doesn't smile and always with a long face. But that didn't disturb us at all.

What a great find! This bar/take a way sandwich bar serves fresh bagels with great fresh toppings and other lovely foods. They have a large selection of sodas, water and juices. The staff is very friendly and speaks both French and English. The prices are very decent. Best food in the area!

Living in the 10th for a few months, I found that this cute cafe on Magenta was the perfect place for coffee and study (they do have wifi). I made a point to bring friends and family here when they came to town as it has a very bright, welcome atmostphere and lots of tables. The staff are really friendly... More
