Ten Belles, Café and takeaway restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, Paris, France
Ten Belles is a small café and takeaway on Rue de la Grange aux Belles in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Canal Saint-Martin. Inside, the space is simple and bright, with large windows, a few tables, and a counter where you order coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and other snacks.
Ten Belles opened in 2012 and was among the first spots in the neighborhood to focus on specialty coffee. It grew alongside the Canal Saint-Martin area as it became a gathering point for a younger, creative crowd.
Ten Belles draws a crowd of regulars who treat it as part of their daily routine, stopping in before work or after a walk by the canal. The baristas are known for being approachable and happy to walk you through the coffee options on offer.
The café sits on a quiet side street and is easy to reach on foot from the Canal Saint-Martin or by metro. Seating inside is limited, so coming outside of peak morning hours gives you a better chance of finding a spot to sit down.
Ten Belles sources its coffee beans from Has Bean, a roaster based in the UK known for working directly with producers. Some of the beans on offer are single-origin, meaning they come from one specific farm or region rather than a blend.
