CAFÉ CRAFT

Café Craft, on the rapidly evolving rue des Vinaigriers in the 10th arrondissement, isn't merely a coffee shop. It's a co-working hub, a space for exchange between freelancers and artists who live in the neighborhood. Founder Augustin Blanchard was inspired by the plethora of neo-coffee shops in Brooklyn which offered commodious spaces to sit back and relax or get situated with a laptop and spend the afternoon working; an unfixed office with social benefits. A long work table lined with white lamps invites locals to get productive, much in the same way a library offers quiet concentration. Blanchard has a leg up on libraries: he also delivers big on quality coffee and tasty snacks.
