CORTADO - café y cositas
Spanish-sourced cortado paired with house pastries by day, Iberian tapas and natural wine by night
Charming café that offers a taste of Spain with its delicious coffee and "cositas" (little things), which include Spanish pastries and snacks. It's a great spot to enjoy a well-made cortado and a sweet treat in a cozy and friendly atmosphere.
In Le Marais, Paris. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Cortado is located at 31 Rue Charlot in Paris's 3rd arrondissement (Le Marais). It's a minimalist specialty coffee shop with strong Spanish influences — coffee from a Spanish roaster, jamón and other charcuterie sourced from Spain. By day it serves cortados, flat whites, oat milk lattes, matcha, and pastries by chef Zoé Souchard (pistachio rolls, croissants, flavored cookies). In the evening it becomes a tapas bar with boquerones, fuet, manchego, and a natural wine selection. The space has a comfortable banquette plus window seats with power outlets, making it laptop-friendly. Google rating ~4.7.
