I got the goguma (purple potato?) cheesecake 7,5€ and cappuccino (4,5€). It was good, not too sweet and fluffy. Plus they made a cute latte art on the coffee :) The staff were so nice and the decorations were cute. There are a couple of tables inside it’s cozy. Good place to chat with friends near opera.

I have to thank this place for two new friends. I friend going twice but both times the line was very long, and I do have to say this line moves very slow. But the second time I started talking with the two girls in front of me in the que. Also because of limited space in the cafe, only a table of three opened up, but luckily they invited me to sit with them. I made two great new girlfriends that day, and even on top of that the matcha was very good, also cute design on top. And don’t miss the lemon cheesecake. Great texture, taste and portion. Cozy but a little minimalistic interior and toilet available.

I love this place, expensive though… wish it was a bit less pricey, I tried many of their cheesecakes: earl grey is my fav! Service is a bit cold you sometimes feel unwelcome which is a shame.

Jirisan has to be one of the coziest cafés I’ve ever stumbled upon - the kind of place that instantly makes you want to stay a little longer. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, the design minimalist yet full of warmth, and the attention to detail is just beautiful. Their coffee and matcha is exceptional, perfectly balanced and smooth, and the latte art… absolutely adorable (it genuinely made my day!). Beyond the coffee, I love their concept - thoughtful, creative, and full of heart. It’s one of those rare spots that feels both peaceful and inspiring, and I can’t wait to go back.

Our favorite coffee shop in Paris! Café Jirisan offers the best coffee quality we've found in the city, with the nicest staff and the most creative beverages. Their scones and cheesecakes are simply unbeatable. dog-friendly, our dog Marla is always excited to take the metro to visit. She's loved the place ever since it was in Saint Paul, and now it's still her happy spot.

The café with the calmest atmosphere in Paris - exactly what we needed that day. Cutest employees with the same tranquility as the place and everyone was very accomodating and kind. Their matcha is very authentic and the Soufflé cakes were absolutely fantastic! It's like eating yummy clouds, not too sweet, still very delicious. There was an incident with a very rude customer that day and they handled it so well, I am still impressed by the calm and professional behaviour of the employee. Thank you for everything. Btw: All the plants have cute names. Absolutely adorable.

The earl grey scone was my favorite. It was so yummy. The souffle cheese cake was good. Cappuccino with oat milk was good ( bear foam soooo cute) feels like in Japan or Korea
