Vegan foodie tips
Now, I'm a fan because this place serves really good food, and I'd definitely recommend their Sunday brunch (make sure to reserve and come hungry). However: They are not fully vegan and I get some mixed messaging about this. They charge extra for plant milk, which I don't think is right. They can definitely do better on that front. Otherwise a really nice place. A bit cold, dress warmly, and don't take the Portobello mushrooms, they're tiny!

This is a lovely place for having a coffee with a vegan snack! If you manage to find a space to work, I'd also recommend it for that purpose. You'll find lots of nice things to buy here, too, and can get your hair done for a juicy pierce, next door!
There's a lovely lady who sells speciality chocolates, too. I'm not sure if they're all vegan, so it's best to ask. Closest tram stop: Place de Metz.

Lovely, fully vegan place. Closest tram stop is 'Theater'. If you manage to find a seat, this is a nice place to work, albeit a little loud. There's inside she outside seating, and although this place specialises in making nice coffee, I'd recommend their excellent house blend of chai 💚. The chocolate cake is also very nice!

Mostly vegan café in Bonnevoie. It's a small space, so I'd recommend giving them a call to see if there's room.
They have vegan speciality cakes, like galette de roi at the appropriate time of year.

This is not a vegan place, but they make an amazing dish called 'Tofu et Marmite' or something along those lines. I always have it with the glass noodle and mushroom soup. Delicious.
