As a go-to place, apart from the coffee, it’s the proprietor’s dog at La Kabane cafe which welcomes you with all paws that seem to lure us in.
By contrast to the cake shop dog at les copains du faubourg which prefers to plonk itself full paws astride in front of you, this coffee shop's here is really attentive! And on your arrival, s/he'll quietly just hang-out with you while you wait outside for your takeaway order.
What I noticed about our furry ally is the color of the fur - verify for yourself on the photo of the main spot - which appears to be in tune with the cookie bake choices of Le Kabane. The 'parfum' recipes of citron and coconut, triple chocolate and granola could equally describe our adorable furry friend's look. (Check the pic on the main blog to see for yourself).
Another neighborhood hangout I'm usually found in, either side of lockdown, is cafe Nomade.
