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.
TipThe bigger sister Ten Belles Bread on Rue Breguet bakes the bread; the cafe pulls the coffee.
Coutume Café in Paris's 7e is the laboratory cafe of the city's longest-running specialty roaster. Open mon-fri 08:00-18:00, sat-sun 09:00-19:00.
TipOrder the day's filter on a V60 first, then a flat white; the bar will tell you which Ethiopia is up.
Café Nuances Marais in Paris's 4e is the Corot brothers' specialty espresso bar with a Crosby Studios interior of mirrored ceilings and recycled-aluminium.
TipPair an espresso with the Kyoto matcha; the Crosby-designed glass façade catches afternoon light on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois.
Tiba in Paris's 3e Haut Marais is the brutalist-minimal cafe Kevin Cerqueira and Linda Huynh opened in March 2025. Open tue-sun 10:15-18:00, closed mon.
TipClosed Monday. The V60 is the room's signature; the carrot cake and madeleines come out mid-morning.
Boot Café in Paris is the postcard 3e Marais espresso bar with a painted boot facade and seven seats inside. Pulls Lomi beans, runs a cash-only counter.
TipCash only. Take a coffee to the Square du Temple a block away rather than waiting for a seat.
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.
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.
TipThe bench seats are for short stays; for longer work, head to Fragments three blocks north.
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.
TipThe line is for tourists; the take-out counter is fast and the chocolate travels in a flask.
Café Kitsuné in Paris's Palais-Royal gardens is the fashion-label cafe that helped reset Parisian matcha standards. At 51 Galerie de Montpensier.
TipThe terrace catches gallery light all afternoon. Order matcha cold-brew in summer.
Café de Flore in Paris is the Saint-Germain literary cafe Sartre and de Beauvoir made famous. Order the café crème. At 172 Boulevard Saint-Germain.
TipThe first-floor mezzanine is quieter than the terrace. Order the chocolat chaud in winter.
Shakespeare and Company Café in Paris pulls Cafés Belleville espresso beside the English bookshop. The Notre-Dame terrace is the 5e's most photographed.
TipThe terrace catches the cathedral view; arrive at 09:30 for a seat before the tour buses.
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.
TipPay for the view, not the food. The chocolat chaud at €9 is worth the terrace seat alone.
