Les Deux Magots in Paris faces Café de Flore on the Saint-Germain square and serves the city's most expensive chocolat chaud in a black china pitcher.
DrinkChocolat chaud
TipPay for the view, not the food. The chocolat chaud at €9 is worth the terrace seat alone.
Angelina in Paris has poured the chocolat l'Africain hot chocolate at the same Rue de Rivoli tea room since 1903. Open daily 07:30-19:00. Booking recommended.
DrinkChocolat l'Africain
TipThe line is for tourists; the take-out counter is fast and the chocolate travels in a flask.
The Coffee Sorbonne in Paris's 5e is the Japanese-style takeaway counter the São Paulo roaster opened in December 2023, two steps from the Sorbonne campus.
DrinkBrazilian single-origin espresso
TipOrder the V60 at the counter; the Cardinal Lemoine and Notre-Dame branches share the same Brazilian roast if Sorbonne is full.
Yellow Tucan in Paris's 4e is the Marais-side micro-roaster with a single counter, rotating Latin American single origins, mostly Colombian and Peruvian.
DrinkPour-over
TipThe bench seats are for short stays; for longer work, head to Fragments three blocks north.
Telescope in Paris was one of the first third-wave coffee bars in the 1er, opened by Nicolas Clerc in 2012. Order the filter coffee. Open mon-fri 08:30-17:00.
DrinkFilter coffee
TipLaptops fine before 10:30 and after 14:30. The kouign-amann from Ten Belles is the pair.
Ten Belles in Paris is the canal-side cafe that gave the 10e its third-wave centre. Anna Trattles and Alice Quillet's cardamom buns sell out by 11:00.
DrinkCortado
TipThe bigger sister Ten Belles Bread on Rue Breguet bakes the bread; the cafe pulls the coffee.
