Ten Belles (Paris 10)

Ten Belles' food program is built around the same artisan principles that guide their coffee roasting. At the center of their offering is naturally leavened sourdough bread, made using traditional fermentation methods that require time, skill, and patience. These loaves showcase what proper bread should be—a crispy, golden crust that shatters when you break it, revealing an open, airy crumb with complex flavor developed through slow fermentation. The bread is available to purchase whole or by the slice, and it forms the foundation of their sandwich menu. Their pastry selection features house-made treats that pair beautifully with coffee. You'll find classic French pastries alongside items that reflect a more international café culture—everything made in-house with the same attention to quality ingredients and proper technique. The pastries change with availability and season, but you can expect buttery, flaky options for breakfast and sweet treats for afternoon coffee breaks. For lunch, Ten Belles offers a concise menu of sandwiches built on their excellent sourdough, filled with quality ingredients that emphasize freshness and flavor. Fresh salads round out the savory options, providing lighter alternatives that still satisfy. The menu is intentionally limited—they'd rather do a few things exceptionally well than offer extensive options with compromised quality. What ties the food program together is the same eco-responsible approach that guides their coffee sourcing. Ingredients are chosen thoughtfully, with attention to sustainability and quality. The food isn't trying to be elaborate or chef-driven; instead, it's honest, well-executed café fare that respects good ingredients and proper technique. Whether you're grabbing a morning pastry, a lunchtime sandwich, or a loaf of bread to take home, you're getting products made with care and expertise. The e-shop extends their reach beyond the physical cafés, allowing customers to order their coffee beans and other products for home delivery—a practical option for those who've become devoted to their roasts and want to brew Ten Belles coffee at home.
