Critiques of curiosity
Le Figaro (2014) “Ouverte en septembre 2012 par Thomas Lehoux (depuis à la tête de la Brûlerie de Belleville, qui fournit donc les grains ici), cette micro-adresse à deux pas du canal Saint-Martin est l’une des plus réputées de la capitale. La clientèle très anglo-saxonne est particulièrement friande de ses salades, sandwichs et autres pâtisseries préparées par l’équipe british du Bal Café.”

These in cost are critical about espresso in addition to well-prepared filter coffees. (We tried a Chemex alongside a couple of pretty espresso drinks.)”
Eater (2013) “Ten Belles is an enthralling, mild, and ethereal café within the tenth arrondissement that bakes its personal pastries in-house. The baristi listed here are extremely pleasant and knowledgable.”
New York Occasions (2012) “A lot expertise behind the bar: the cafe is a collaboration between Anselme Blayney, Alice Quillet and Anna Trattles (all of le Bal Café) and Thomas Lehoux (a cult barista). Relying on whenever you go, you is likely to be served by Christopher Nielson, previously of Sydney’s Mecca Espresso and London’s Prufrock Espresso. The beans are from Télescope’s David Flynn, the sandwiches, cookies and tartlets from Quillet and Trattles, and the intelligent chairs from Pierre Hourquet.”
