Korean café — Paris

A Korean café is not simply a café that serves coffee. It is a format in its own right, where pastry, tea and ice matter as much as the hot drink: bingsu — shaved ice under red beans, soybean powder or fruit — rice cakes, tteok, hotteok, lattes made with misugaru or black sesame, bubble tea. Many open early and close in the late afternoon with no evening service, offering brunch rather than dinner. This page gathers the Paris addresses of that kind; the list is short, because the genre is still rare here. Cross with Korean café and dessert if you are after the sweet side first, and read the hours on each listing: this is the format where the gap between the craving and the opening time causes the most wasted journeys.
