What\u2019s in the name? Located in the lively 11th arrondissement of Paris, just east of the city center, and not too far from the Bastille,\u00a0Passager Cafe<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can be found on the corner of a small side street, Passage de la Bonne Graine, and the larger Avenue Ledru-Rollin. <\/span><\/p>\n French for passenger, Passager itself feels more like a passageway, with a back set of doors leading out of the cafe onto Passage Josset. Open since 2016, the cafe is already a neighborhood fixture, in large part due to its warm, relaxed atmosphere. One barista described the cafe as “informal and comfortable, where you can do what you wish.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Passager was founded by the proprietor of Starvin\u2019 Joe<\/span><\/a> on the nearby Rue de Charonne, in partnership with well-known fashion blogger and stylist,\u00a0Fanny B.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Like many of the cafes in Paris, it\u2019s cozy in size, but has massive windows facing Avenue Ledru-Rollin and Passage de la Bonne Graine that allow for an abundance of natural light to filter in. A long bench jutting out from Passager\u2019s facade provides a fantastic perch for people-watching and basking in sunlight when the weather turns warm.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently, Passager\u2019s menu features espresso and drip coffee made with beans from local roaster\u00a0Lomi<\/span><\/a>. Previously, their beans were sourced from Copenhagen\u2019s April Coffee Roasters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Berlin\u2019s\u00a0Five Elephant<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The cafe\u2019s food menu includes house-baked options like cake, granola, and scones with butter and jam. They also offer breakfast and lunch every day of the week, and a remarkably Instagrammable brunch menu that routinely garners out-the-door lines\u2014especially on weekends and around holidays. <\/span><\/p>\n It includes avocado toast, golden-edged pancakes cooked to order on a flattop griddle in the back\u2014which can be had either \u201csweet\u201d with fruit and maple syrup or \u201csweet and salty\u201d with crispy bacon\u2014sunny-side up eggs, assorted bagel sandwiches, and chia pudding. Lunch is comprised of a changing soup of the day and tartines of various sorts.<\/span><\/p>\n Perhaps what is uniquely Parisian about a cafe such as Passager is that their drinks and baked goods use sugar with a light touch. For instance, Passager\u2019s famous carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is flavorful and sturdy, despite being neither too sweet nor overly rich. <\/span><\/p>\n The mocha is judiciously sweetened, and avoids being cloying, as are the chai and matcha lattes, two of Passager\u2019s most popular non-coffee options according to the staff.<\/span><\/p>\n The Passager mocha<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With its exposed brick walls, rust-colored columns, concrete counters, and gracefully-worn but still colorful tiled floors juxtaposed with all the markers of a specialty cafe, Passager is reflective of Paris as a whole. Both old and new. Traditional and modern.<\/span><\/p>\n If you happen to find yourself in the 11th, perchance as a passager<\/i> traveling between someplace here and someplace there, stop by Passager and soak in the local charm while you sip a cup of coffee. Listen to the pleasant din of spoken French, and look out the windows at the city passing by\u2014<\/span>just don\u2019t forget to say bonjour<\/i> when you enter, and merci, au revoir<\/i> as you depart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Michelle Hwang is a writer who splits her time between California, Paris, and Seoul.
