"Café Nuances is a designer’s dream. This original outpost in the 1st arrondissement was previously a grocery store, hence the words "beurre" (butter) and "oeufs" (eggs) on the marble façade out front. It’s in a beautiful Art Deco-style with marble walls, and is a great spot to pause for a flat white or a pistachio latte, before or after a trip to the Louvre. The beans are available to-go in a branded souvenir sack, if you want a little reminder of the coffee you had while in Paris. They also have design-forward locations in the 6th and 8th arrondissements." - tanisha townsend

"At Nuances, picking up a bag of traceable beans (all roasted on site) or ordering a pour over can feel a bit like shopping for a fancy handbag. Each of the three locations is stylishly thought out by local design firm Uchronia. The lovely environment of the cafe in the 1st will make you want to settle in on the terrace for a nice long sip and chat. Located in the 1st arrondissement.

"Housed in what was once a dairy shop, this café's original (and attractive) Art Deco sign greets you on the façade while attracting a great deal of attention. Standing out from the crowd for its excellent coffees, sourced from plantations globally, along with their original blends (featuring notes of fruit, flowers, chocolate and caramel), the founders (and brothers) Charles and Raphaël Corot wanted to give their space a contemporary feel contrasting the tearooms of yesteryear." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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
