Malongo Cafe and Barista

Very nice place but I really didn’t like the coffee I had. I noticed they were going to add more milk than I wanted so I had them half it, maybe that was a mistake as more milk could have disguised the off flavor.

Good coffee in France. No seriously.

Confirmed really good coffee. Some of the best I have had in France.

This is a serious coffee shop, they will roast beans on demand. So surprisingly, sadly, my espresso “La Grande Reserve” was ho hum, and my croissant was cold and fatty. I could have had better back at my hotel.

Very reasonable coffee, use of real milk! Free wiki. Lots of bench space

Good coffee is almost impossible to find in Paris. This place is an exception. We had a very good cappuccino, that would have been perfectly acceptable in Melbourne or Sydney. Nice space, service perfunctory. Seek it out.

Un excellent café malgré un service un peu anonyme qui ferme une heure avant la fermeture de la boutique, ce qui est toujours un peu surprenant et désagréable. Un endroit agréable à Saint-Michel pour une pause ou un moment de travail. Wifi gratuit, boutique pour ramener chez soi du café torréfié sur place, des cafetières et des bouilloires, des filtres chemex, des moulins, etc. Bref, une bonne adresse même s’il manque le charme des cafés indépendants.

A well designed space. I like the clean lines mixed with warm materials like the cork light fittings. But the coffee sucks. I figured it was just a dirty machine or poorly dialled in so I bought two bags to go. No matter how I adjusted the grind, dose etc I could not pull out any interesting flavours. This was using a Mignon grinder, Kalitawave pour over with Volvic water and at 93deg from a Brewista swan neck kettle which is pretty hard to get too wrong. Even first thing in the morning when coffee is a necessity for my wife rather than a taste exploration it was undrinkable. I don't mean that it was a little bit bitter or over roasted or too much of a sour cherry coming through. I mean two sips and the cup was put down and left by everyone in our house.

Nice atmosphere, average coffee, ok service.

Drinkable espresso but nothing special. Service fine.
