The Best Coffee Shops In Paris - Paris - The Infatuation

"This coffee shop, opened by popular KB Coffee Roasters, continues the tradition of solid coffee, and you can now drink it on-site. For the serious coffee people, they also have workshops so you can learn how to roast the perfect brew. Brunch is served all day, and if you need help narrowing down your order since the menu is extensive, try the pain perdu or breakfast toast with a fried egg, melted cheese, and espelette chiles." - tanisha townsend

The Best Breakfasts in Paris for Non-Pastry People

"This popular coffee shop and breakfast restaurant is known for carefully developed morning dishes — notably egg-and-bacon-topped pancakes and homemade brioche bun breakfast sammies that resulted from months of recipe testing — alongside strong coffee offerings." - Kristy Alpert

I had brunch at this bar on a Saturday with friends. The bartender found promptly table for the 4 of us. The service was very quick and kind. The ambient is not as cozy as other places with less decorative style but rather modern. Dishes are simple but quite flavorful. Prices are affordable.

I daresay it's the best specialty coffee in Paris. The shop has natural lightning, which immediately cheered me up. They offer books related to the coffee industry and many high-quality products for baristas. The highlight is the wide variety of coffees from several Colombian zones, as shown in my video. For breakfast I had some very well seasoned scrambled eggs and a delicious brew batch of the day. A morning to remember!

This is the best coffee I had in all of Paris. They put so much love and care into their process and you can taste it in the final product. The service is also friendly and warm. I came back several times over my trip.

Great specialty coffee with high quality brunch options. One of the best filter coffees i ever had in Paris.

We only had coffee here but it was good coffee at a very reasonable price. They offered various types of espresso and pour over filtered coffee with light to dark roasts. The daily filtered coffee was only 4euros which is very reasonable. There are plenty of seating and breakfast food and pastries are also sold here.

I can’t say enough about Back in Black. With 100% truth, I have to say this was the best French Toast I’ve ever eaten. Exquisitely presented with a thinly sliced poached pair and Pear Compote combined with Brioche French Toast and wonderful cream. Laced with cinnamon, it was a treat for my senses. We also ordered a breakfast bun that was just as amazing, perfect for those who like savory. Be sure to order a Happiness juice to go with your breakfast. I literally walked out on a food high. The servers were friendly, and I had to go back to the wonderful open kitchen and thank the chef, who threw me a pose as sweet as her breakfast was served. I would go back in a heartbeat!!!

What we thought of as going to be a quick coffee stop turned into breakfast. I am going to dream about the banana bread that I ordered here. It's going to haunt me!! It was that delicious. Very modern decor- the waitress didn't speak English well, but she was so nice and helpful. Did I mention the banana bread??? Get it!!!

Well down a road with not too much on it.. is Back in Black... no computers on the weekend! During the week sure - so like a good place to work?? Which leads me to coffee... they use KB roasters, so pretty good and tasty... Then the food. So good. So filling. The bacon was crispy. The food cooked just right. Pickled jalapeños- check. Fresh pepper - check and hot! Bacon- smoked and yum. Egg- could be runnier. Bread - soooooo good. Cheese- check. All together - yum!!! I saw other people with other dishes and I def want to try them too... mmm....

Great spot for breakfast / brunch! We picked this cafe because of the previous reviews, and it didn't disappoint. My partner and I both had the egg toast with pesto. So delicious! Wait staff was friendly and spoke English, too. Highly recommend.

This is the equivalent of any high quality craft coffee shop in the US. If you need a drip or espresso fix, this is the spot. Fresh beans to go available as well. If you want to grab & go, walk in, and order at the cashier

For take away, order with the woman with the iPad. The bakery items are displayed as soon as you walk in. Really limited take-away choices but there was a gluten free option. They had a very bright (probably Ethiopian) coffee for the latte. I was not a fan. It looked more of a place to have a sit-down brunch with eggs and stuff. It was pretty popular.

Great spot - we had a nice breakfast (two fried eggs on large fresh toast with pesto) and the filtered coffee of the day was delish. Big casual place with lots of seating and very friendly staff (who can speak english!) awesome find.

We were only in Paris for one night and had limited time in the am. The spot was amazing! The peach brioche French toast.... Yes!

Really knowledgeable baristas here and if they have an open bag of the roast you're interested in buying, they will pull a shot for you to sample.

Good cold brew, chai tea and vegetarian options. Also had brioche that was tasty and scrambled eggs, toast and bacon that was kid approved. Decent portions.

What a new gem! Such a sleek, chic, but cozy spot for phenomenal food and great coffee drinks! We are making it a point to come to Paris many times a year from California. We have sensational coffee there but still nothing beats a brew made by Parisian hands! First off the coffee here is absolutely delicious! Such a great way to start the day. The beverages are crafted perfectly. For food we got the gluten free apple quince crumble and the grilled cheese. The quince was dynamite! You would never think it was a gluten free! Perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. I could probably eat this forever! Now for my star of this show, the grilled cheese. Infinite layers of perfectly buttered and toasted bread with the best cocktail of melted cheese oozing out of the sides rendering it difficult to figure out where to even start with such holy divinity! Probably one of the best food items I've ever had in my life lol. The scallions were an amazing touch and I probably will not share next time! And believe me there WILL be a next time. Until then I'll live vicariously through the rest of the reviewers ! There is PLENTY of seating and people just enjoying the food, conversation, or doing some work on their laptop. The Perfect cafe!
