There’s nothing expressly wrong with this bakery-barely cafe (the Zpressa PODS machine for Cafes Richard and cute, corresponding list of coffee possibilities gets it there), but there is no effort to keep you here. Not saying that this retention is part of the “cafe criteria,” however it’s the complete inability to stick around that is striking. There is not one chair (inside or outside) or even a standing table. The more accurate description for this place is a bakery passageway, carved out of the larger building’s rez-de-chaussee. The misty blue wall color backgrounding the pastry case does invite, like the dream of free-falling through the sky might, but it’s definitely take the boule blanche, nutella or speculoos paille, and/or several choux craquelin (the deal on the paper taped to the glass announces that the more you buy, the more you get) and go. Where? I don’t know. While I’d put forth just home, the crafty fish on sticks in the window, accompanied on “sand” (creatively reimagined burlap) by shells—mini conch and cone to name a few—brings the blue from the back to the front making a case for finding water, heading to the river. That’s it—it’s not a sky; it’s a sea. This bakery is a croissant canal, a quick swim ensuite.

Drink: Café (grande)
It was drinkable in the moment, yes. I knew what I was getting with Cafes Richard and her having to plug in the machine for me…yet, awareness can only do so much. Nothing could have prepared me for its taste the next day. MY god, it was horrific. Plug your nose and toss this espresso-inspired volume back (and preferably with something overpoweringly sweet). You have less than 24 hours. Good luck.

Food: Pain aux amandes (almond croissant)
Honestly? I hated it. It wasn’t inedible which earns it at least a point, and it gets two points because of the size. But, it just tasted straight up like sugar and was chewy…like, gum chewy.
