Those who have already been to Paris a couple of times might have figured out that the coffee is, for the most part,pretty bad. BUT there are some places where you can find a fantastically delicious coffee. La Cafeotheque offers plenty of different coffee flavors and roast the beans behind the bar. How about a flat white with matcha cake on the side? The atmosphere is also very nice as the interior is super cozy, and you feel like you’re in a living room. Where: Pont Marie (closest Metro)
