Cafés Richard

We ordered their apricot, jam and croissant and baguette and tea. The baked items were all tastey and looked fresh. They really were friendly and offered us a seat right after occupants had left. Very good place for the money.

Never been to France and we decided to go last year and it had to be Paris of course. There’s not much I can say that you haven’t heard before I’m sure, so I’m just gonna say it’s so cool. I’ve always been a hter on French people as they are so snooty and think they are the shits, but got pleasantly surprised. The French are really nice and super welcoming and helpful. How about that, sorry :-/​Anyways, loved it and we’re going back.

Very rude. Slow service and ignored our table repeatedly to go to others that spoke French well. I would not recommend to anyone that does not speak French well or at all. That was just the service. The food was subpar as well. Omelet was under cooked and bland.

This place is amazingly clean and the desserts and coffee were superb. I literally found this place the night before heading home, and I regret not finding this place sooner. You can see the locals getting their baguettes here every morning, so I should have explored it sooner. Highly recommend it. They don’t speak much English but they try very hard to get your order right, so be patient :)

Good food. Very friendly service. Friendly to Americans. Great espresso. Very slow service at lunch is only reason for 3 stars. Try it. Maybe it was just us.

Ordered 2 baguette sandwiches that were surprisingly unflavorful. Service took a bit long to drop the check. The view was nice during outdoor seating.

Very friendly service. Excellent prices. Fast service. Special came with a drink. I had the chicken with a beer.

They have a very good happy hour breakfast if you get there before 10:30. We ordered two café’s, but as we were american they brought two coffee’s and not expressos, then charged us double what the posted price was. But the coffee was very good, just know that if you don’t speak French you will probably pay more.

The name of this place doesn’t contain a typo; there really is an «s» at the end of «Cafés.» I don’t know why it’s there, but this place otherwise doesn’t really do much to distinguish itself from any other café. However, the interior is beautifully decorated. They have shelves holding model ships and pottery. On the walls, they have speakers hanging. The waiters here are quick and attentive. But the food here is just like what you would get at any ordinary place.
Let’s start with the croissants. They’re not curved like the ones you might imagine; these ones are straight but puffy. They’re a bit small and taste just okay, so there’s not much to write about them. What is interesting here is these long breadsticks they have; they seem to be filled with butter already and they give you apricot jam to spread on these already-​buttered breadsticks. Of course, when you take a bite into them, the apricot part is going to be the dominant flavor if you chose to add it, but it’s quite an enjoyable blend and you wouldn’t think that all these parts go so well together. Having the butter or whatever it is there might be pointless for all I know, but it was new to me and tasted good, so I’m not complaining.
As for the drinks, well, I got coffee and orange juice. The orange juice is just orange juice. The coffee is frothy and comes with packets of sugar and a stirring spoon. Basically, it’s just standard fare. I came here in the morning for breakfast, so I don’t know how much they mix things up later in the day. I do know that all this food still kind of left me hungry after breakfast. There’s a reason that people in the U.K. call this a continental breakfast. They apparently think that people in Mainland Europe eat lighter breakfasts unlike their heavier English breakfasts. If you’re used to eating a lot right after waking up, you might want to order more here because you might otherwise end up disappointed.

This will be a very short review of Cafes Richard. Try Café Richard if ever you’re in Paris. I’m not sure if Cafes Richard exports their coffee abroad but they do serve their coffees in restaurants and cafes around Paris.
The smell is very smooth and the taste is sharp. I feel like I’m writing a review for wine but their coffee is wonderful. It’s a great way to kick off the morning or brunch. I forget the name of this quaint café across from the Pont Neuf on the Seine but had brunch here and they serve Cafes Richard. Maybe I was still high off the Parisian air or maybe it’s because I’m a coffee lover and cafes are my thing. Either way, if you’re like me: order a pound or two! You won’t regret it.
