Aube

Come by this cafe on a quiet side street between Bastille and Nation for fluffy almond pancakes and whipped mascarpone and fig leaf syrup. For the savory among us, the beyond-basic deviled eggs are topped with bacon, cheese, and jalapeño, while the Turkish egg and feta toast with pickled purple onions will finally allow avocado toast to RIP. 

Beyond breakfast, there are plenty of reasons to stick around for lunch, and not just because they’re open continuously until 4pm. The grilled caesar salad trades romaine for cabbage, the polenta fries are thick and crispy, and there’s soft serve for dessert—recent flavors have included carrot cake and Calvados, an apple brandy from Normandy.
