What could be more comforting than walking through the door of a coffee shop, soaking up the aroma of coffee wafting from behind the counter, and curling up in a warm, plump armchair once you've ordered and served your Grail? In Paris, the number of coffee shops has exploded, on both Left and Right Banks, in both affluent and working-class neighborhoods.
We go there to start the day off on the right foot, or to get that little boost we need to finish that damn file that's been hanging around the office for days. And then, while we're there, we can treat ourselves to a little 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, as you'll have gathered, whether it's long or short, black or latte, accompanied by a sweet treat or not, there's a coffee for every Parisian. So, to help you find the capital's best coffee address without delay, follow our guide to the best coffee shops in Paris!
