"A five minute walk from Père Lachaise cemetery, this is one of the largest, most classically beautiful spaces among specialty coffee shops in Paris. Picture windows let in incredible light at all times of day and the other decorative features make it a warm and inviting place to linger over coffee: soft, rounded lines, varied floor tiles, massive mirrors, marble pedestal tables, Thonet bistro chairs, and well-placed plants. From filter to flat whites and golden lattes, the menu covers all the heavy hitters. The hot chocolate is worth ordering for anyone who keeps off caffeine. Food options are admittedly limited (but go well with the drinks!). The owner, Englishman Daniel Chapman, has wanted to serve light lunch fare and brunch but has yet to find the right chef. In the meantime, he serves granola, divine cookies (some of which are gluten-free), and a rotating selection of cakes." - Lindsey Tramuta
