Coffee in Paris

10 places for Coffee in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Bistrot Paul Bert — Mark Wiens, Les Frenchies
  He called the pepper sauce "one of the best sauces for meat I've ever had in my life," and singled out the meltingly tender filet steak, the freshly fried potatoes that arrived still radiating heat, and an intensely fragrant morel-and-egg dish as the highlights.
  Heads up: He went with a noon reservation — booking is required, and at €203.50 for three people, it's on the pricey side.
• Café Dose — Lucile
  Praised for buttery croissants delivered fresh each morning from the neighborhood bakery, unusually large cups of house-roasted coffee (rare in Paris), and a sidewalk terrace lined with classic Parisian chairs.
• Motors Coffee — TOPJAW
  The pour-over, slowed down by hand at the end of the extraction, finishes so cleanly it tastes "like there's milk or cream in it." The cinnamon bun and lemon pastry are just as good.
  Heads up: A single pour-over runs €25, and there's no food beyond pastries — the brunch menu was dropped to keep the focus on coffee.
• La Fontaine — Messinger Guides
  Praised as a quiet neighborhood café that won't rush you to give up your table, calling it a more memorable and rewarding experience than seeing the Mona Lisa.
  Heads up: Noted that this is a place to spend time rather than eat, suggesting an œuf mouillette if you get hungry.
• La Galerie — 또 떠나는 남자 ddoddunam
  Live music plays from afternoon into late evening, and though a cup of coffee isn't cheap, it's not unreasonable — recommended as a spot to stop by and soak in the atmosphere during a trip.
  Heads up: You have to walk through the dining area to reach the rooms, which can feel a bit awkward.
• Ten Belles — TOPJAW
  Hangover-fixing brunch: a bacon and cheese toastie with funky blue cheese and stretchy cheddar, plus a Welsh rabbit topped with an egg.
• Dreamin' Man — TOPJAW
  Excellent coffee poured by Yuichiro himself, pastries made by his girlfriend, and a real sense of community.
• Cedric Grolet Café — Messinger Guides
  Heads up: Warned that tourists line up for a 20-euro croissant, and that this isn't a truly authentic Parisian experience.
• Maison Pradier — Ryoko Paris Guide
  The chocolate eclair looked pretty and was rated as just ordinarily tasty.
  Heads up: The eclair was somewhat pricey at around €4.50, described as 'a bit expensive.'
• Bo&Mie — Locavore Eats
  The raspberry croissant was as good as it looked, the praline pastry had buttery layers and a hazelnut chocolate filling, and the kouign-amann was the crispiest, most buttery they've ever had.
  Heads up: They suggest ordering a coffee with the plain croissant so you can dunk it.
