Kabane: Reviews & Ratings

Don't know why such a low rating on maps. Brilliant super-speciality coffee shop, plenty of extraordinary coffee lots in the freezer, interesting selection of beans on the shelf. They also have a good selection of Chinese tea, which is rare in Europe. Once they ran out of ‘interesting’ cold brew, and poured me a ‘regular’ one, and it was one of the best cold brew I've ever tried. Also, both times I went there, I had a lovely coffee talk with the owner, and he provided me with a tiny-piny magazine with a list of the best coffee shops in Paris. Product is 10/10, service is superb. Don't complain, just ask about your coffee. Also, besides the extraordinary lots, they have just a regular espresso, and the price is comparable to other speciality coffee shops in the city. Hope to visit it again!

I gave Kabane a second shot yesterday, there is no argument, their coffee is great. Yesterday the service was great as well, however there are some strange rules (like other comments mention) which creates a weird vibe. If you're just going for the coffee: definitely do it. If you're expecting a great service/flexibility skit it

Honestly, I think this is the best coziest and calmest coffee shop in Paris. A wonderful list of varieties of filter coffee. Very friendly staff and calm music. I have been hunting for such a place for my reading I think I found my spot. Bref, it is a beautiful place that is worth visiting at least once.

Nestled in the vibrant 11th arrondissement of Paris, Kabane is a true gem for espresso and specialty coffee lovers. This espresso bar, located at 23 Rue Faidherbe, offers an experience that goes beyond the ordinary café visit. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and calm, making it an ideal refuge for those who crave a quiet moment with a book or an engaging coffee conversation.

Kabane’s menu is a celebration of coffee craftsmanship. From their signature Cappuccino Kabane Coffee Shop to the refined Filter Coffee brewed through the delicate V60 extraction method, every cup is meticulously prepared. The cold brew, often hailed as one of the best by patrons, showcases their mastery over coffee extraction and flavor balance. Highlights like the Afogato — a harmonious blend of espresso and ice cream — and the Café Crème paired with homemade chocolate cookies reveal a thoughtful pairing that excites the palate and comforts the soul.

Beyond espresso-based drinks, Kabane offers a curated selection of coffee beans and even a rare assortment of Chinese teas, an unusual find in Europe. This unique offering points to a deep knowledge of global coffee and tea cultures, enriching the café experience. Their Lemon Cake and Latte combination is especially noteworthy: the tartness of the cake complements the creamy, smooth latte, creating a delightful contrast that lingers pleasantly.

The owner’s passion resonates in every cup and interaction. Customers often mention the genuine hospitality and detailed conversations that bring a personalized touch to their visits. While some note an unconventional set of house rules that might feel a bit quirky, these only add to Kabane’s distinct character and charm. It’s not just about coffee here — it’s about authenticity and skilled artistry.

In short, Kabane is a sanctuary for those who appreciate coffee as a craft and an art. For anyone serious about exploring Parisian specialty coffee, this spot promises both exceptional drinks and an atmosphere brimming with personality. It’s a must-visit that invites you to savor every sip and every moment.
