carambole cafe & pain au chocolate

[didier]

really nice being there in the mornings after exercise. and they put either a heart or clover design in the coffee.

it gets crowded as the school children also come in. there were a couple of americans there and they ordered but left without paying or getting their order. because they could not find a seat. the process is, you order, then you pay either before or after, most people pay before.

one of the servers was looking for them with a tray of coffees and a dessert, I told her they left because they could not find a seat. I won't say what she said, but I replied, I think that is our official name...lol

A great place . . . and what a shame that people would be so thoughtless.

Anita and I enjoy Carambole very much. It is our go to place first thing in the morning.

New owners, did they just renovate?

Strange system to have counter (not seated) ordering and not pay when place order.
Never encountered that.

Not really. When there is a line it's better. Sometimes I am the 4th person in line for the cashier and I have already ordered, so I sit down and wait for the server . When the line is empty I get up and pay.

I guess ?
When we go to Choisy in town, Mme Cassidain snags a table while I order (and pay for) our petit déjeuner.
If there were no tables we would leave and go elsewhere too.

I bet u did not have a server bringing your petit dejeuner to your table either like they do at carambole.

No table service. Only takes a second though.
Of course if no tables available the system doesn’t work.

To go back at a villa is not too bad.

lots of school children there this morning. they gave me a special treat this morning, a side of hot milk to go with my cafe. and the pain au chocolates were hot this morning, I arrived earlier than usual. I saw a couple of people who normally go to eden to go. I wonder if they will switch back after eden opens on oct. 5th.
