Kooka Boora Cafe Shop

In the neighbourhood hotspot of South Pigalle, in an ideal location on the corner of avenue Trudaine and the rue des Martyrs, sits Kooka Boora, a new coffee shop that's already won over the hearts of the discerning locals. With its simple Scandinavian-style decor, complete with white walls, blond wood tables, comfy leather armchairs, and lots of light thanks to the vast windows, Kooka Boora fills up daily with creative types, students and mums and babies, coming to work, gossip or simply hang out whilst drinking a distinctly un-French cup of coffee.

The menu features macchiato, espresso, cappuccino, and even a kid-friendly babyccino (frothy milk for sophisticated toddlers). There is also a large selection of tea and freshly made juices, as well as all kinds of sandwiches, cakes and cookies to go with them. Many things on the menu are organic and a brunch including organic bread and scrambled eggs is served on weekends. The free wifi is also a great draw if you're looking for somewhere to work whilst you get your afternoon caffeine fix.

Photos taken with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3K, a very handy bridge that's compact enough to carry around with you but that has a proper zoom lens and a vast range of features that mean you can use it like an SLR. Thanks Panasonic for lending us this fab camera to play with!
