[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Per person** Time to allow **Allow 30–90 minutes** Place **Haut Marais, Paris** 01 / The experience ### Photography and specialty coffee in the Haut Marais. Photography is part of Fringe's purpose, not simply decoration around the coffee bar. Founder Jeff Hargrove is a large-format photographer, and the café brings prints, books and magazines into a small espresso-bar setting on rue de Turenne. The result is a place where the image on the wall and the coffee on the table both have a deliberate role. #### European coffees and the pastry counter The beans come from small European roasters, with a changing selection available to drink and buy. Espresso and pour-over are joined by the Barista's Choice coffees, which give particular lots a place of their own on the menu. The approach makes the selection more interesting than ordering a permanently fixed house flavour. The food extends beyond a token pastry. Cinnamon and cardamom buns, homemade granola, banana cake and cookies offer different companions to a cup. The menu also lists a Danish-style butter-and-cheese sandwich with pickled onions. It is a short range, suited to breakfast or a smaller daytime meal rather than a long restaurant service. #### Photographs, books and the café room Sculptural white lamps and a restrained room keep the photographs visible. Table service gives the stop a settled café rhythm, while the books provide another way into Hargrove's subject. The food, coffee and photography work together: there is something to look at and read without the room feeling like an exhibition space that happens to sell drinks. ![Fringe Coffee, Paris]() Cafés & bakeries **Fringe Coffee** Paris In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Fringe Coffee: visit essentials 1. 01 Haut Marais 2. 02 Allow 30–90 minutes 3. 03 Check current hours on the café visit page. 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit An independent espresso bar and photography space for a quieter Marais coffee and pastry stop. #### Menu & spending Check the current menu before visiting.
