Cuppa

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Footsteps from the Musée d'Orsay, behind a dark-green façade framing original glass window panes, teensy Cuppa is a fabulous find for all-organic breakfasts (eg caramelised grapefruit or granola with cardamom, pistachios and yuzu zest), lunches (like avocado and house-made hummus tartines), homemade cakes, and expertly brewed coffee using ethically sourced beans. Everything is vegetarian; many dishes are vegan and/or gluten-free.
