Coffee Shops
The best spots for a first sip together
Honour
Precision-crafted espresso in a sleek, narrow space. Best for coffee purists who want to taste every note.
Fragments
Exposed stone walls, excellent pour-overs, and a calm atmosphere that invites deep conversation.
Ob-La-Di
Specialty coffee in a bright, minimal space. The avocado toast is legendary and the flat whites are flawless.
La Fontaine de Belleville
An in-house roastery with a retro-chic vibe. Watch beans being roasted while you sip one of the best espressos in Paris.
Boot Café
A tiny, plant-filled hideaway on a quiet street. Mismatched furniture, soft music, and excellent pastries make this a perfect first-date spot.
Shakespeare & Co. Café
Adjacent to the legendary bookshop, with views of Notre-Dame. Share a slice of cake and talk about your favorite novels.
Ten Belles
A pioneer of Paris's specialty coffee scene. Small but buzzing, with some of the best filter coffee in the city.
Coutume Café
High ceilings, natural light, and world-class roasts. Spacious enough for lingering conversations and second cups.
Café Kitsuné
Tucked in the Palais Royal gardens. Sip a matcha latte surrounded by centuries-old arcades and manicured hedges.
Café de Flore
Where Sartre and de Beauvoir debated existentialism. The terrace is pure Parisian cinema — order a café crème and people-watch.
