There are those who, as soon as the warm weather arrives, rush to the terrace to savor Italian, street food, African, French or Japanese specialties. And then there are those who, as soon as the sun comes out and the days lengthen, have only one idea in mind: to enjoy a good coffee, accompanied or not by a sweet or savory treat, with their head in the sun.
Let's face it, there are few things as comforting as a cup of coffee, accompanied by a book, on the terrace of a coffee shop. And if, on top of that, you allow yourself a little pastry or a healthy and tasty sandwich, then you're truly in paradise.
This dream is within reach with this selection of coffee shops, all of which have a beautiful sunny terrace to welcome you as you deserve. Whether you prefer Japanese atmospheres, literary and studious ambiences, or pop and colorful decorations, you're sure to find what you're looking for —and good coffee.
