Copains
entirely gluten-free patisserie that tastes like the real thing
A bright, modern bakery‑café with a quiet‑but‑trendy mood—ideal for a quick morning stop or a relaxed catch‑up. Locals line up for creative, patisserie‑driven treats alongside excellent coffee; service is swift and friendly, with plenty of small bites if you want to linger. Best early or mid‑afternoon—mornings get crowded after 9 and the signature items sell out fast.
In Montorgueil, Paris. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Copains is a 100% gluten-free Parisian bakery and all-day café with several locations (the pinned spot is at 60 Rue Tiquetonne, 2e). Reviewers single out the lemon meringue tart (described as 'low-key famous'), the pistachio-raspberry pastry, golden croissants, savory tartines with seasonal vegetables, and fresh juices. The space is described as calm with soft wood accents and neutral tones, attracting freelancers, couples and families; it's walk-in only with no reservations, and signature pastries sell out by afternoon. Brunch plates run €12–18 and pastries around €3.50.
