Old Paris Cafe brings a slice of Parisian bistro culture straight to Varsity Parade with made-to-order crepes, flaky pastries, and rich espresso. Regulars duck in for quick morning coffees or settle along the sidewalk with a paper and a hot flat white. The kitchen works through sweet and savoury crêpes alongside bistro staples like croque madame topped with melted cheese and a runny yolk. A dedicated gluten-free menu covers breads, pastries, and crepes, ensuring nobody at the table misses out. Drinks run beyond the standard cafe lineup—most notably the traditional French hot chocolate, prepared with molten chocolate poured into steamed milk with flavour twists like salted caramel or honeycomb.
- Traditional French Hot Chocolate: Molten chocolate poured into hot milk, with specialty flavours including salted caramel, honeycomb, and mint.
- Gluten-Free Crepes & Pastries: Dedicated options for sweet and savoury crepes, breads, and pastries crafted for gluten-free diets.
