The 21 Best Cafés in Paris

"Set up in an old travel agency, the industrial-sleek space is VERY compact (there's outdoor seating, too). And while it could be in London or New York (the design plays up brick walls, white tiles, a simple black bench and cinder block tables), regulars come for the expert coffee. Each espresso shot is perfectly pulled. Each flat white is impeccably served. The shop works with the best roasters in the world to offer a regularly changing selection of coffees and offers special (higher end, generally) pours for the most discerning. You'll also find cold brew, espresso tonics, and dirty chai. They also make their own cakes and cookies (and an excellent Basque cheesecake) but work with Boneshaker for doughnuts (the city's best)." - Lindsey Tramuta
