Ten Belles Bread | Coffee Shop | Pain au levain & torréfaction artisanale

ten belles bread takes bread as seriously as the coffee, which is rarer than it sounds in a city that already has opinions about both. the pain au levain here isn't an afterthought placed near the register to justify a higher average spend. it's a proper parallel commitment, house-roasted beans alongside long-fermented dough, two slow processes treated with equal attention. if you're coming from anywhere in the 11th arrondissement, rue bréguet is worth the detour. the neighborhood runs practical and residential, not precious, and ten belles fits that without apology. go in the morning, when the levain is still warm and the coffee is doing exactly what house-roasted coffee should.
