Thousands of secondhand books still line the walls of this cozy café.

The Used Book Café, a small institution nestled around the cobblestone courtyard of Merci, is a Parisian icon. It charms visitors with its unique atmosphere and carefully crafted dishes.

Whether the weather is nice or it’s raining in the fall, we love going there. From comforting chai to indulgent avocado toast, soft-boiled eggs with bread sticks, and must-try classics like chocolate fondant and Basque cheesecake everything here is delicious.

Whether it’s for a leisurely breakfast, a tasty lunch, a coffee break between appointments, or an afternoon snack with friends after vacation, the Used Book Café is the perfect spot. It attracts many regulars from the neighborhood, Paris, and even beyond, as well as international visitors.

People come here to catch up, meet someone for the first time, debrief with friends, or enjoy a parent-child one-on-one. It’s a place where every moment becomes memorable and as delicious as a chocolate fondant.

Since 2009, Merci has been an independent Parisian boutique. We select and create everyday objects, clothing, and experiences with a discerning eye and a sense of curiosity.
