Bambin, the kid-friendly coffeeshop with children's play area, in the 20th arrondissement

In the 20th arrondissement, in the heart of the Belleville district, Bambin is the new place to be: a real cocoon, this pretty café is first and foremost a place to live.

"It's been an obvious choice and a dream for a long time," says Astrid, one of Bambin's founders. Creating a place to live in the Belleville district, which she and Pénélope "adore", is the project behind Bambin, a place designed for everyone: children, adults, teleworkers...

Welcome to a new cocoon in the 20th arrondissement, right in the heart of the artistic district of Belleville: at Bambin, everything has been thought out to offer a place where you can meet up after dropping the kids off at school, where you can come for a snack on Wednesdays and weekends, in short, a bubble for taking a break, solo, with family, friends and so on. With her background in pastry-making, Astrid immediately wanted to put the catering side of the business centre stage, with an attractive menu featuring recipes based on local, seasonal produce.

For beverages, the founders have opted for a specialty coffee, with drinks made daily by Benoît, a professional barista using coffee from the Lomi burners. Finally, for those with a sweet tooth, don't miss the delicious home-made pastries, such as the must-try chestnut and blackcurrant fondant (a chestnut cream fondant topped with a cream cheese and blackcurrant topping), the delicious chocolate chip cookies (with a version specially designed for kids, the cookids), the cakes of the moment, the Italian-styleaffogato or the orange blossom-scented madeleines.

"What's important about Bambin is that we have a militant intention," explains Pénélope, "we want children to be included in the public space", she explains. So, in addition to high chairs, child-safe furniture (all without edges), a microwave for warming baby bottles, stroller parking and other accessories to adapt to the young public, Bambin also has a small play area, specially designed for the little ones aged 0 to 5. Early-learning mats, manipulative games, books...
