The 21 Best Cafés in Paris

"Without question, this is the city's most design-forward coffee shop (thanks to the talents of Uchronia). Set up in a former crèmerie, the aesthetic is all art deco in the front and contemporary (some might say a touch futuristic) in the back. There are counter seats toward the front, but this spot does brisk take-away business given its location in the center of the city, not far from the Place Vendôme (and, notably, the Ritz Paris). The owners, brothers Charles and Raphaël Corrot, adore coffee and wanted to offer a singular take on the espresso bar. They focus on five unique coffees, each with their own flavor profile, with beans they import from top producers. Slow Dance, for example, is a coffee with chocolate and nutty notes while Coffee & Cigarettes has, you guessed it, clear notes of tobacco and spice." - Lindsey Tramuta
