Starbucks on Avenue L’Opera

Undoubtedly it’s a bit of a faux-pas to start my coverage of Paris fashion week with a post about a non-fashion American institution, but no matter. After all, the Starbucks onParis’ s Avenue L’Opera is every US fashion editor’s guilty pleasure. Sure, everyone goes on and on about Laduree’s darling macaroons and the delectable café au lait at Café de Flore, but in between shows many Pierre Hardy-shod ladies dart into the SB for a jolt of high-octane caffeine to fend off jet-lag. Fortunately, for those who subscribe to the calories-in-another-country-don’t-count ideology, there’s hearty fresh-squeezed OJ and plenty of French-meets-Seattle style treats to choose from as well as fresh squeezed orange juice. Triste mais vrai; sad but true. What’s also a little scary? My morning mocha was 4.70 Euros, which thanks to our deflated American dollar, equals about $7.
