they ran out of food twice

I wish I could review this restaurant, but we came here two times during the advertised opening hours and they had no food left. The first time it was before 3PM, and they said that they were also closing earlier than usual because they had to go someplace. The second time it was around 2:30 PM, and once again, they were out of food "we had a busy day". The proprietor was nice enough, apologizing and suggesting another place in the area (we were there before and not particularly impressed), but I think that any business that wants to thrive must prepare extra food, and if there is leftover, they can offer it to some of the many homeless in the city.

They ran out of food!

I foubd it very challenging to be a vegan in Paris. I was so delighted to see this cute little cafe, but unfortunately for me, they had run out of food! The staff were so lovely and the vibes were so good, I couldn't be upset or angry!

Pros: Nice staff, cute cafe.

Cons: no food

Wouldn't bother

I've attempted to eat here twice, and failed on both occasions. The first time I was starving after having travelled by train for a few days. When I finally found the place there were a couple of people idly chattering, yet they said they were closed and had nothing to offer. I believe I asked for other options such as take away, but they showed zero flexibility or empathy. I also think I e-mailed them beforehand to confirm opening hours, but in that case I never heard anything back from them.
The second attempt took place just the other day. I read a review below that stressed the importance of booking in advance, so I tried to send them an e-mail. I found no addresses on either their regular or facebook websites. When I finally turned up the cafe was closed, but I don´t think that was mentioned anywhere?! Note that I speak no French but I can make out written French quite well, but I doubt there was any information in regard to a change of opening hours. Due to all of this, chances are I'll never try this place.

cold and unfriendly staff/owner

2nd visit -
To our surprise, our server was so friendly and nice (unlike our first attempt.)
The plate was nice, but some how made me feel quite sick after...

1st attempt
I live close by and tempted to eat there quite a few times, but each time failed.
Today (Sep 1, 2017) I tried again. It was 2pm and we were told it was closed as they have nothing to offer any more, and we needed to reserve in advance.
The closing time for this place supposed to be 3pm, so we were shocked by how they rudely responded 'it's closed'. No sorry or anything ....
