When Ob-La-Di opened in June 2015, it immediately became the new hot spot in Paris. Named after the popular Beatles song “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”, this tiny shoebox of a cafe is styled with all the right decor – funky blue floor tiles, bare concrete wall, marble counter top, fresh flowers, the cutest coffee spoons (so tempted to steal one each time I come)…but most importantly, manning the Marzocco machine is Lloyd (previous at Boot Cafe), and that, my friends, means good coffee.

Other than the typical cappuccinos (€4) and lattes (€5), Ob-La-Di also does things a bit out of the ordinary like Horchata (€5) and an affogato (€5) with Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice-cream. Yeah baby.

On the food side, there are pastries like scones, cookies, and cakes, but Ob-La-Di also does kale salads, avocado toasts, and apparently a “purple haze” veggie burger to die for. Shame on me for not yet having tried this.

There’s not much else left to be said. Go.
