The Coffee Concierge found her way to L'Opus Cafe (Bistrot and Restaurant) near Marché Jules Vallès in the flea market area of St Ouen. That would be the Marché aux Puces de St-Ouen near the Port de Clingancourt metro station.
The flea markets are only open over the weekend and typically start up around 10am. Except, that the website we checked said 9am and "get there early". So we were somewhat early getting to the flea market and thought it would be nice to have a warm cup of coffee whilst we waited.
So here is a cup - not of cappucino, but of café au lait or coffee with milk. Half coffee, half milk, this is what the French typically drink at breakfast. However, you can get it through the day. There is no strong coffee flavour (obviously) and there is clearly more milk than in a typical cappucino. It's the sort of thing you could really dump your croissant in on a cold winter morning.
The service was friendly - even though our waitress couldn't speak much English. So if you are tired from walking around the many different markets in the area, do pop in and put your feet up for a while here.
Price: Approx 2.50 Euros (I think)
Service: 3.5
Flavour: 3.5 (for coffee buffs) but 4 if you really like milky coffee.
