"Dreamin’ Man is a pocket-sized coffee shop that feels like stepping into a brocant—complete with a vintage wooden bar, rustic brick walls, tables and chairs with chipped paint, and bookshelves packed with knick-knacks. Like some kind of sorcery, this place will inspire you to slow your pace, especially since it’s nowhere near a tourist destination. They have the espresso drinks you’d expect of any great coffee shop, but order the pour-over if you’re a coffee fanatic—it’s one of the best we’ve ever had." - tanisha townsend

"Locals swear by owner Yuichiro Sugiyama’s carefully brewed coffees, made using beans roasted in Denmark, to be enjoyed with Yui Matsuzaki’s delicate pastries. It’s become a bit of a hangout for arty locals and visitors, so be prepared to queue or get there early. There are just two tables inside and a handful are set up outside in summer, so you might need to take your cup to go. There’s also a window to grab a Dreamin’ Man coffee at the Broken Arm fashion boutique in the Marais. Located in the 11th arrondissement. Rooksana Hossenally" - Rooksana Hossenally
"This sliver of a coffee shop on the end of the 11th arrondissement has a custom wood bar, upcycled tables and stools, and lots of wabi-sabi style. Folk music à la Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen plays on repeat, creating a chill vibe for a crowd of regulars (many of who come twice a day). At most, there will be two people working the bar including the owner, Yuichiro Sugiyama, who takes the art of coffee very seriously. Sugiyama works with April and Prolog coffee from Denmark for pour-overs, espresso, and lattes—tea drinkers should opt for the hojicha latte, which can be made iced in the warmer months. All of the sweets are made by Sugiyama's pastry-chef girlfriend Yui Matsuzaki, from scones served with cream and jam, seasonal fruit tarts, lemon cake, shortbread cookies, muffins, and occasionally a Japanese pudding that's to-die-for." - Lindsey Tramuta
