What could be more comforting than to walk through the door of a coffee shop, soak up the delicious aroma of coffee emanating from behind the counter, and curl up in a warm, plump armchair once our Grail has been ordered and served? In Paris, the number of coffee shops is exploding, on both Left and Right Banks, in affluent and working-class neighborhoods alike.
We go there to start the day off on the right foot, or to get that little boost we've been lacking to finish that pesky file that's been hanging around the office for days. And then, while we're there, we treat ourselves to a small pastry or a piece of brioche, ideal to accompany our espresso, or for those with a sweet tooth, our latte with the option of plant-based milk.
In short, there's a coffee for every Parisian, whether you prefer it long or short, black or milk, with or without a sweet treat. So, to help you find the best coffee address in the capital, follow our guide to the best coffee shops in Paris!
