Welcome to Pontochoux Café, a charming little gem nestled in the heart of the Marais district at 18 Rue du Pont aux Choux, 75003 Paris, France. This boutique café is not just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it’s an experience in itself, uncovering the magic of Parisian café culture.

As you step inside, you will be greeted by the warm and inviting ambiance, accentuated by natural sunlight that floods through the windows. The modern yet cozy decor creates an ideal setting to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a moment of solitude with a book in hand.

Pontochoux Café is especially renowned for its specialty coffee—a craft honed to perfection by the friendly staff who take immense pride in their brews. Customers rave about the cappuccinos—described by one regular as “one of the best in town”—and the expertly crafted cortados, served with elegance in beautiful glassware. The meticulous attention to detail in every cup offers a little slice of coffee bliss that’s hard to come by.

But the allure of Pontochoux goes beyond just the coffee. The carefully curated pastry selection features delicate creations that will delight your taste buds. From indulgently rich to refreshing flavors, each piece is a testament to the café's commitment to quality.

If you visit, don't miss out on the Desserts étoilés—a highlight that has patrons returning time and again, with one enthusiastic visitor declaring it “the best Mont Blanc I ever had.”

What truly sets Pontochoux Café apart is its dedication to sustainability, evidenced by their use of glass straws for cold drinks, creating a guilt-free indulgence for eco-conscious patrons.

4.5/5 stars - Great speciality coffee, and delicately made pastries. Also very commendable for using glass straws for cold drinks! the pastries are a bit on the pricier side, compare their size, but as well made as they are they're worth it. Important to note that there is NO BATHROOM - which is my main con when considering going to Pontochoux Café. Otherwise great place!

One of the best cappuccino’s in town. Some of their pastry is delicious too and they have some special ice cream sometimes on the menu. Cool staff. The place is next to a very tasty Japanese curry spot with the same name I’d also recommend.

It was so good that we had to return twice. The special desserts (Desserts étoilés) are worth the hype (really!). Marron is probably the best Mont Blanc I ever had - delicate yet intense. Figue was also very refreshing and nice. Good selection of specialty coffee as well.

The coffee was amazing, floral, fragrant and the service was very nice. The vibe was amazing too with Japanese hip hop playing in the back. The shop is cute and small but perfect for a little pit stop in the area!
