As a foreigner in Paris, I'm always expecting some form of particular treatment. However, our server immediately greeted us and made us feel welcome and apart of the crowd. He made recommendations for us and explained some of the menu items. He honestly made this experience substantially better.

I had a bagel de jour and a cappuccino - they were exquisite. I can't address every food item here of course, but from what my friend and I had it all seemed wonderful and delicious.

This place comes highly recommended for a reason, stop by and enjoy some coffee, great food, and a nice atmosphere.

We stopped at Folks and Sparrows after taking a red eye from NYC. By this point we were exhausted and starving so this little cafe was the perfect spot to enjoy coffee, food and relax. We ordered three separate sandwiches from the menu- all were delicious and made fresh for us. The young guy working was super friendly and took time to craft each sandwich for us, and explaining it all in English as our French is pretty horrible. I would recommend this place for a quick bite or to grab and go- it's fresh and the store it self is aesthetically pleasing! A well designed place to escape the busy streets of Paris!

Minimalist and easy going, but with great service and music and, oh yeah, coffee, too.  You're more likely to hear English than French being spoken.

I had been following this quaint looking sandwich shop on Instagram for the longest time and knew I had to make a visit the next time I would be in Paris.

Upon visiting, I instantly fell in love with this charming and cozy cafe shop whoms country-folk decor made me feel as if I were home in the mid-west of America. After seeing so many times their sandwiches wrapped in style through Instagram, I already knew what to order. As I don't recall the name of the sandwich, I'd say it would be what is similar to a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese and capers. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and was to no surprise wrapped beautifully since Parisians know how to be creative and add a finishing touch to things.

After my first visit I decided to come back several days later and try their key lime pie that had just the right amount of sweetness to it. This cafe and its staff will make you feel at home and works great for when you need some downtime or have work to do. I can't wait to return.

A bientot, Folks & Sparrows!

Stopped in for an espresso after lunch and was not disappointed with both the espresso and the service. The place itself is inviting and relaxing. In addition to the espresso we had a small dessert which was as good as the coffee! Will definitely be back next time I am in the neighborhood

  The espresso was even better then it looks!

Had an absolutely fantastic experience. Great cappucino, and two great sandwiches. The service was outstanding as well. Definitely stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

What a sweet and lovely café! The vibe is super chill and friendly with an owner who is great at small talk and makes an effort to really make you feel at home.

After inquiring about the origins of my new favorite tea brand (see pic) that they carry and learning that it comes from upstate NY, I told him my mom lives in that region and he was like, "my friend who is visiting is from there too, let me introduce you her." And he did, and we chatted, and it turns out we know the same people. Small world. Love that stuff!

I only really experienced late afternoon tea time here but the menu looked lovely and I'd love to come back to chill there some more. My only critique is that there are very few seats available so there's no guarantee that you'll get one during peak hours.

Pretty cute hipster-y place. I came here on a Sunday afternoon to study, and the staff were super friendly. We chatted about New York for a bit. Would definitely come back again.

When I lived in Paris this was my Absolute favourite hang out and I would make a point of going every weekend even though it was an hour away. Friendly "English speaking" staff ( so important for a foreigner!) and the coffee was delicious! It's small but cozy which I think is the vibe they are trying to go for.

A very yummy sandwich.

This was a deceptively simple sandwich with fresh bread, meat, cheese, and veggies.  It all sounds so simple, but in reality these are very hard to find.  Everyone wants to add some weird crap that is not necessary.

At the same time, the quality of ingredients was excellent!  The meats and cheeses were properly made, the bread was fresh.  All in all a very good sandwich.

My Parisian friend states that this is his favorite sandwich in the city and if I lived there it could easily be mine also.  So go and try it!

The cheesecake was also an excellent New York style cheesecake.

Egg sandwich ftw - cute hipster spot. It's always crowded, but grab a coffee while you wait for a spot and you won't regret it

My wife and I visited during our vacation and this place was amazing. I had the pastrami sandwich and wife ham sandwich. Everything was made with love. I can't wait to go back to Paris to visit this wonderful little spot.

Such a cozy atmosphere and quality products. They even sell McClure's pickles! The staff is super friendly, a hello and big smile as we walked in, which is always refreshing in Paris. The furniture is stunning, and the little flowers on the tables definitely add a little touch to the lovelieness of the place.

Aside the big central table are shelves filled with lovely international products: pickles, sardines, patés.... honestly I think it would be a lovely spot to stock up on some random Christmas gifts!

Coffee was delicious, no complaints on that end. Going to have to give their sandwich a try next time...

Came with a group of three in the morning.
Two rounds of espresso drinks for the group, all smiles.
Round of their sandwiches, delightful, thoughtfully assembled, the bread was so fresh. In fact at one point the gal behind the counter ran to the bakery up the street to get more bread, it is that fresh.
This is one of those places that is magical. You can see there is so much more thought woven into the identity of this place beyond just how they are going to sell a product.
The two folks behind the counter offered us great service even though our french is terrible.
The third staff member who was hanging out there was also super kind.

Places like this make it great to go out.
Thank you folks!

Stopped here for a quick lunch on our week long visit in Paris and we absolutely loved this coffee shop! The workers were happy & friendly. The food was delicious. The entire store package was beyond expectation. Wishing we had a place like this at home.

The words that come to mind when wanting to describe this place are - carefully chosen but somewhat minimalistic. Both for the food and the decore. They serve mostly sandwiches, muffins anf such.. The sandwich was good and so was the coffee (i'm very particular about my coffee), but i wouldn't go out of my way to visit here. Also the sitting arrangement is very uncomfortable.

i had a deeeelicious pastrami and cheddar on baguette here. their tea selection is top quality and the staff is a delight. this is my new sunday hangout!
