Paris-Beauvais sur Saint-Denis

22/02/2026: Friendly staff and manager, ideal for coffee before heading to work, but opens too late for early passers-by or smokers.

06/02/2026: Listen, I hate coffee (well, that's what I used to say until I was 23/25, I didn't like coffee ☕️) Actually, that's not true. It's just that the first impression we were given, which is the most important, wasn't good. A lot of people drink coffee at home. Wrong! Honestly, coffee at a café isn't comparable to coffee at home (even if you have a top-of-the-line or professional machine at home). Neither Nespresso, which makes some of the best coffee, nor Sega Fredo (one of the best for home use), is comparable to coffee at a café/bar/tobacconist. And then there are some coffees that I find "strong." Or Should I say STRONG? Well, this one from Brasserie 42 St. Denis is really great 😋 I had two, absolutely fantastic. Okay, thank you very much. There are even some Parisian coffees that I find too strong, and many cafes make them too strong. This one was perfect, delicious, especially for someone who used to hate coffee. To truly appreciate coffee, you need to: 1) drink it in a cafe 2) in a glass because, yes, it doesn't taste the same in a cup (yes, I'm serious, I learned that in 2025, I had already learned to appreciate coffee in the meantime) 3) in a good cafe like this one Thank you
