How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Great coffee, delicious Swedish pastries, friendly staff, a good atmosphere to take refuge in during winter after a walk in the Buttes Chaumont.

I've had the opportunity to visit this establishment three times. The hot drinks and pastries are of very good quality and served in a tastefully decorated setting. However, the service leaves much to be desired. The servers are unusually...

Nice place, but unfortunately staff is unfriendly, each time I come have an impression they hate their job and you too
5★ · 2025-10-27
A delightful little gem. The coffee is of exceptional quality, the staff truly kind and smiling, and «Le dessert du jour» (a cake reminiscent of French toast) …simply delicious.
No laptop policy

The place and the staff seem welcoming. Unfortunately, they don't allow laptops on the premises!

Came in twice and had a nice experience, good coffee, gorgeous space, slightly expensive. It was a shame that when asking a simple question about laptops which are not allowed, which is totally fair and I understand it, I was met with a pas...

It's a shame that this Montreal-style café doesn't allow customers to work on their laptops; apparently, it's strictly forbidden. It would be good to inform customers before charging them.
High prices
Reviewers report that the food and drinks are expensive relative to the portion sizes.

The epitome of an overrated Parisian café! What a shame: A pleasant place, but crowded on Saturday mornings... Very poor value for money: -€6 for a tiny scone, eaten in one bite and not even served hot... -Over €10 for the Nordic platter,...

The place is cozy, the staff are super friendly, but the prices are baffling! A double espresso that doesn't even fill the palm of your hand costs €3.50…

- Enjoying artisanal pastries and baked goods
- Dog owners looking for a pet-friendly cafe
Avoid if

A fantastic surprise! Finally, a really nice, human-sized café with real servers who care about their coffee. Perfect for after a stroll through the Buttes Chaumont park, a true little gem!
