Maurice, a take-away counter nestled in the heart of Rue Rambuteau, serving up sweet and savory delights that will leave you wanting more.
A New HQ with a Strong Identity
When asked if he will soon reign over the entire Rue Rambuteau, Moïse Sfez laughs and says, “Soon, soon!” It must be said that the king of street food is on his third establishment here, after delighting the trendy Marais crowd with his lobster rolls (Homer Lobster) and pastrami sandwiches (Janet). His latest gamble: another American inspiration, the New York coffee shop, decked out in green and white, echoing the elegant vibes of iconic Big Apple spots like Sadelle’s and the legendary Ralph’s Coffee by Ralph Lauren. The twist? Maurice focuses on grab-and-go breakfast, lunch, and snacks, though a tiny counter and a terrace table are available for those who prefer to enjoy their coffee on-site.
Recipes That Drive You Crazy
The advantage of Maurice (a very French name and similar to the big boss’s first name) is the unique specialties that are hard to find in Paris, all wrapped up in stunning packaging. Missing the golden days of McMorning? Dive into the Mac Maurice, a delightfully decadent muffin available in several versions: Salmon Benedict (€12), Egg & Cheese + Bacon (€9), or Salmon & Cream Cheese (€11). Other must-tries include the tomato tartine (€4), sinfully delicious Liège waffles (it’s all about the caramelization, perfection at €3), and the honey butter toast, a cake-like rectangle reminiscent of kouign-amann (€3.50).
The ultimate house specialty: the freddo, crafted on the spot with a genius machine that cans your dream cold beverage topped with creamy milk foam. We love the iced matcha latte (€6.50) and the freddo cappuccino (€6). Another treat for orange blossom fans: the orange blossom latte (€7) with its fragrant flavor.
Open daily from 9 AM to 7 PM.
