Shakespeare and Company Cafe
4 Rue Saint-Julien le Pauvre, 75005 Paris, France
33 (0)-1-43-25-40-93
In 2015, the beloved English language bookstore, Shakespeare and Company—a Left Bank literary institution since 1951—opened a café in its long-vacant adjacent storefront. Enjoy a variety of savory (mostly vegetarian) and sweet treats (the best are the baked goods by Bob's Bakeshop) at indoor or outdoor tables while reading your latest purchase or gazing at Notre Dame.
