Fait Maison Petit Déjeuner

You know that feeling when you stumble into a café in the 6th arrondissement and everything just clicks? That's what Fait Maison does on Stratford Road, tucked away in Kensington where you'd least expect such genuine French hospitality. The space feels lived-in rather than designed—the kind of place where regulars have their usual order down pat and the staff actually remember your name. Breakfasts are the real deal: croissants that shatter when you bite them, proper pain au chocolat, and eggs done how you actually want them. It's small, it gets rammed on weekends, and honestly, that's part of the charm. Coffee's solid too, which matters when you're starting your day.
