Cafe Bretelles is a legit coffee shop and a great place to stop for a break as you wander through Strasbourg and Petite France.
All baristas here are friendly and knowledgeable. They serve their own batch brew, typical espresso based drinks, as well as coffee brewed with a v60 or aero press. It was quite a surprise to find a coffee shop here in Strasbourg taking coffee seriously. From what I can tell, all the beans they use seem to be single origin. In addition, they serve simple pastries and cakes. If tea is your thing, they have a small selection of tea on their menu as well.
Other pros:
- ample seating for customers; the shop looks small at first glance but is actually two stories
- free WiFi
- restrooms for guests
When searching in a new city/country for a proper cappuccino, Flat White or cafe latte I've learned that if there many photos of a pretty cup of coffee on the Yelp listing chances are very good it's the best in town. Thankfully Café Brestelles didn't let me down. Friendly workers, talented barista and charming shop with tables outside. They also offer a small breakfast menu upstairs.
Awesome place to come for coffee and breakfast. They had exactly what we were looking for - caffeine and a true European breakfast plate. We sat at a small table outside, which was lovely to be able to people watch.
We will definitely come back again.
