Updated November 2026.
Ten Belles is one of the established names in Paris specialty coffee. The business now combines coffee roasting, sourdough baking and café food across three locations. Its original shop opened in the 10th arrondissement in 2012.
The photographs from our visit show the compact café format, bread, pastries and pavement seating that define the Ten Belles experience. For more options, compare it with our guide to the best coffee shops in Paris.

Coffee, Bread and Food
Coffee remains central, with espresso drinks and filter coffee alongside retail beans. Ten Belles began roasting its own coffee in 2019. That gives the brand a clearer identity than a café relying only on a guest roaster.
The bakery is equally important. Sourdough loaves, cookies, cakes and other pastries sit beside sandwiches and seasonal savoury items. The exact range changes by location and time of day.

What Stands Out
- Coffee and bakery in one stop: Ten Belles works when the food matters as much as the cup.
- Three distinct locations: Paris 11 is the largest, while Paris 10 retains the original compact format.
- Visible baking focus: Bread and pastries are not an afterthought.
- Easy takeaway: All three cafés suit a short coffee stop when seats are full.
Things to Know Before Visiting
- No reservations: Seating is first come, first served.
- Small spaces: The Paris 10 and Paris 6 locations can fill quickly.
- Menus vary: Food, pastries and prices may differ by branch and season.
- Choose the branch carefully: The three cafés are in different parts of Paris.

Value and Practical Tips
Ten Belles is priced as a specialty coffee shop and artisan bakery, not a traditional corner café. Value is strongest when you want both a well prepared drink and something from the bakery.
- Visit earlier for the widest bakery selection.
- Use Paris 11 when a larger room or later weekday closing time matters.
- Choose Paris 10 for the original Ten Belles setting.
- Treat the photographed menu as a record of the visit, not a current price list.

The Brief Review Verdict
Ten Belles remains a strong Paris café choice because the bakery and coffee programmes support each other. The original Paris 10 shop has the most character, while Paris 11 is more practical when space matters.
