Lactem Café in Paris (near Palais-Royal) is definitely worth a visit! I translated owner Hoëlle Jego's book, "Your Home Coffee Shop," from French to English, scheduled for release this fall. I had the pleasure of running into Hoëlle while there, and she's very friendly and very excited to have her book available soon in English! She gave me one of her newest cookies—lemon poppy seed—to try. Next time you're in Paris, stop by to see her beautiful shop and taste her delicious coffee and pastries.
My translated version of her book is now available for Pre-Order on Amazon at this link. It has many approachable coffee and pastry recipes and easy-to-understand illustrations to help you enjoy coffee even more: https://amzn.to/3UhEnA2
