Lomi

Best coffee I have had in Paris. Also, this is one of the few laptop friendly places. They also have oat milk which is nice. Cappuccino, latte and mocha have all been really nice. Espresso is quite interesting on its own whether you take the single origin or house - a nice dark chocolaty acidic shot. The staff are very kind and attentive. Glad to be staying nearby here. I didn’t eat any of the food but mostly small snacks available.

Expensive but cool vibe good coffee and awesome vegan cookie. Looks like coffee is roasted on site.

I really like Lomi Cafe! - Trendy and accessible neighborhood - Friendly and fun staff - DELICIOUS cookies - Good coffee - Laptop friendly and comfortable atmosphere Lomi is the perfect backpacker’s cafe. 👌🏼

One of the best coffee shops in Paris. The coffee is next level, the most kind and service-minded staff, and nice decor. Also a great place to come with both your laptop and dog! I’m going almost everyday for a coffee with my dog.

Fantastic. Totally worth the journey. Some of the most precise coffee in Paris, the service is super dedicated, and always with a big smile. We have gone a couple times for the food menu and it’s super good, always seasonal, high quality and very tasty. I noticed their policy on computers and I think it’s great. It allows normal people like me to come and enjoy the coffee and the great food. Definitely worth a trip to visit and try what lomi has to offer !!!

It supposed to have one laptop friendly table but they say you can’t open your laptop only after you've paid an overpriced coffee...You should have the rule clearly stated somewhere

This place... Wow. What a great atmosphere. It smells fantastic. You can have a coffee. You can have breakfast. You can have a cookie. The food is excellent, and the gluten-free chocolate chip cookie is waaaay better than it has any right to be. I love how they have one large table dedicated to laptops leaving the others for those who want to relax and enjoy their morsels. With so many places to visit in Paris, we rarely say we "have to" go back somewhere, but Lomi will be a regular stop for us. Thank you!

The information currently up says its cash only but they take credit cards too. The coffee is good it’s located opposite this massive wall of graffiti . I did have a croissant and financier too. They roast their own beans so definitely try their coffee. It has a cozy vibe to sit in, very laid back and easy.

I came here with a friend on a Saturday morning around 10:45 AM in January 2020. The café is very cute and cozy, and it seemed like a pleasant place to get some reading/writing done or to hang out with friends. A few customers were getting some work done--writing in notebooks, reading--but I don't think it would be a great place to go so far as to pull out a laptop, at least on the weekends, as the space is a little small and there weren't any outlets as far as I could tell. My friend and I both got flat whites to stay; the drinks menu was about as expensive as any other café or coffeeshop in Paris, with cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites in the 4-5€ range. After ordering and paying, we found a small table (the coffeeshop was already pretty busy when we arrived, not surprising since it was a weekend morning) and an employee brought us out our drinks. The cups were really adorable and the latte art (or flat white art in this case) was picture-worthy if you're into that. Although we only got coffee, there are also food offerings, including a case of pastries in the front. We spent a very lovely hour or so at the café and enjoyed the décor and atmosphere. If you want a peaceful place to chat with friends or get some reading done, Lomi is a great place to check out. The coffeeshop is conveniently accessible (with a short walk) via metro lines 2, 4, and 12.

This place is 2 legit. Amazing coffee, friendly staff, good vibez all around. Def a good place to get work done, free WiFi and lots of people nerding out on laptops. Me included!

What a fantastic find! We decided to take a chance and come to Café Lomi even though it was a bit out of our way and boy were we glad we did! This café does third wave coffee right and the espresso was expertly pulled. The food menu is also quite good and I really liked the space. They roast their beans on site and you can actually take a peek into their operation at the back of the café. They actually supply beans to a handful of other cafés and restaurants in the city. And of course, they serve café fromage. A combination I've never seen or heard of prior to this. My boyfriend who loves cheese and coffee and will always try something new jumped at the chance of tasting this new flavor combination. It's essentially a slice of really good blue cheese served along with a double espresso. You're meant to nibble on a small piece, sip on the espresso and let it melt the cheese that's still on your tongue. Amazingly, it works! And it's quite good. So if you enjoy blue cheese and love coffee, give this a try! We brought home a bag of their signature roast and it is great for cappuccinos and lattes.

Very good specialty coffee shop. Best cortado that I had while in Paris. Worth a visit for sure.

Cozy coffee shop, excellent filter coffee,great service,warm atmosphere,you can buy fresh coffee beans there,highly recommend

The lemon margarine pie was really good. I would come back just to have the pie. I also had the chai latte. It is nice and quite here. Good place to stop by to grab something to drink and eat their pie!

Café Lomi in the 18th arrondissement in Paris is perhaps my favourite coffee shop in Paris, if not in the world. It's a little bit off the beaten track, but well worth the journey, and on the way you can enjoy to explore a neighbourhood in Paris many tourists probably don't see. At the end of a long day that had started at La tour Eiffel, I descended from the iconic Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre and walked around the Goutte d'Or neighbourhood in the 18th arrondissement to get to Café Lomi. Café Lomi is a very beautiful roastery and coffee shop that seems to be almost too cool and hipster to be real at first sight. The café is located in an area, where you would probably not expect such a place. But then, in somewhat deprived neighbourhoods in East London, new coffee shops are also opening in numbers in recent years, so maybe it is actually not all that surprising to see the same happening in Paris. I immediately noticed that they use top-of-the-line equipment behind the counter - the main grinder and espresso machine looks pretty similar to the setup at the new Kaffeine branch in Eastcastle Street in London. If that tells you anything, then at least that they carefully select their tools, what usually is a good sign. Browsing the menu, I came across "café fromage" and asked the barista about it. Turns out this is a pairing of coffee, café, and cheese, fromage - just what you could guess from the name. The lovely barista explained that they tested different cheeses and decided to go with a blue cheese as it tasted best in combination with the coffee. I was not entirely sure about it, but I liked the idea and for once I thought that a coffee shop truly embraced being located in France and having easy access to great, local produce like cheese, so of course I wanted to find out myself if coffee and cheese together is any good. It is. In my experience, if you enjoy wine and cheese, I think you might also like coffee and cheese. At first, it might feel strange to dip a bit of cheese into your coffee, but really, it does taste alright and is something you perhaps won't get everywhere. It is refreshing to see a place going beyond the standard coffee offerings and coming up with something new that connects to the food heritage of the location. I later ordered a standard flat white which looked beautiful and tasted excellent. It was quite strong, but definitely a decent coffee. Useful for the tourist, they do also have free wifi in the shop. Café Lomi is a stunning place with great quality products and a certain arty, hipster kind of vibe. Fortunately, this still doesn't mean that you need a mustache to get served. The atmosphere is really relaxed and very friendly - overall, I think Café Lomi could quickly become my favourite coffee shop in Paris if I would move to the city!

When the wife and I look for travel gifts, a bag of local roasted coffee oft comes to mind. Thus we went on the Googlenets, and it handily pointed us towards Café Lomi on the outskirts of Paris. It helped that Café Lomi was walking distance from our already booked event at Cook'n with Class (http://www.yelp.com/biz/cook-n-with-class-paris-2#hrid:oFILMW2iZBuZGdUhyYhrlw), making it a hop & skip away rather than the jump it would normally take from Paris' center. Another funny thing about the Google results. Pretty much everyone decries Parisian coffee as mediocre dreck, but in my opinion, it's still vastly superior to the American system hooked on burnt Starbucks. No, it's not Italy, but even the regular "bad" coffee in Paris is still better than your typical American coffee chains. In any case, we ran across a couple articles that I can no longer easily find recommending Le Café Lomi, which recently erected a brick & mortar location after supplying roasted beans to many of the "best" coffeeshops across Paris. It comes well recommended by the New York Times (http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/29/ristretto-paris-is-brewing/), and if that doesn't impress you, the Paris CM is also a fan (http://www.yelp.com/biz/le-caf%C3%A9-lomi-paris#hrid:AHX_03NO5c_pNHwsLdIzJg). Sold for me. The menu is seasonal and simplistic. Café Lomi offers a few beans currently on roast. That day's menu featured 2 espresso blends and 3 filtered. As tired as I was adventurous, I ordered an espresso for me along with a filtered carafe for the table. The espresso blend--Melangé Lomi--was as bold an espresso I've had outside of Italy. It'll kick you in the teeth, and in the good way. Conversely, the filtered blend--Kenyan Gatomboya--was rather light and very subtle. It was actually quite a surprise from the bite of the espresso, but not in a bad way. We picked up a variety of blends to take home. I went with the Bresil Fazenda Pantano and am now in despair having recently polished off the bag. The menu also consists of teas, a beautiful hot chocolate, and a couple salad/sandwich offerings. But it's the coffee that draws the crowd. We spent some time talking to the barista, and he explained that the concept of Café Lomi was to try to convince Parisians to think of coffee the same way they think of wine. Each roast is its own taste; each region its own unique contribution. As for me, I drink coffee the same wine I drink wine: if it's good, it goes down. And Café Lomi's is stellar.

Artesan Cafes have only slowly being catching on in Paris, not surprising due to the long standing French Cafe tradition. This place roasts its own beans and produces an excellent coffee. It is slightly outside the centre, just a bit North of Gard du Nord, and is not the most picturesque of areas but on the otherhand the area has a 'real' and 'genuine' ambience.

Hands down my favorite third wave coffee shop in Paris. I've never had a disappointing pull regardless of the drink. The menu has tons of interesting coffee-based and non-coffee-based options, great snacks and even lunch options. Outside of rush hours, there's a good chance you'll find a place to sit and hang out. Since Lomi is a roaster, they sell great beans at a decent price. I've used their Brazilian beans to make delicious chocolaty cold brew in the summer and pour over in the winter. Yes, it's out of the way, but Marcadet-Poissoniers (L12) is a block away so make the effort, it's worth it. As a 18ème native I'm pretty damn proud to have such a good place around.

Cute and home feel café. Came here for the winter and was looking for a warm place with WiFi so I could work on my laptop. Very nice and speak well English. Recommend the Chai Tea Latte

I'd heard many things about Cafe Lomi not only about their cafe but also about their coffee beans - they offer coffee classes to businesses as well as the public The spot is just great - the coffee was flawless it got a big thumbs up from both myself and my partner in crime (not that we're experts by any means) These guys on the other hand are obvious experts and know what they're doing when it comes to good coffee! I also ordered the granola which was really good and tasted very home-made to me - (if not a tiny bit on the salty side! But I think I have a very sensitive palette when it comes to salty food!) My only complaint is the distance it is from my apartment and not in the nicest area of Paris - if it was in my neighborhood I'd be returning on a daily basis! Really though I cannot fault the experience, the coffee was insanely good, the service was very friendly and the cafe itself generally has a really cool vibe to it

I think this is the best coffee shop I've ever been to. Somehow I was lucky enough to be staying in a hotel a few blocks away on an extended vacation thanks to the Air France pilot strike. I went to Cafe Lomi 3 times in 3 days. Ordered a chemex of an Ethiopian coffee and immediately knew from the first sip that this place was worth the trip to Paris alone. They roast slightly darker than the hip places home in San Francisco and finally gave me a chance to see what some of these single origin coffees could taste like if they weren't so light and sour. It was perfect. Other reviewers are not kidding when they describe the coffee as fantastic and excellent. Smooth, rich, flavorful, clear. Got a bag of their beans to make at home and they were equally top quality - so unfortunately they didn't last long. The food far exceeded coffee shop expectations. The people working there were friendly and patient. They clearly take their coffee seriously with careful brewing. Thank you, Cafe Lomi. You justify my international coffee tourism.

Best cafe I found in Paris so far! I had to travel a bit of a distance for it but it was worth it. Coffee is decadent and I also had the tartine sandwich, simply amazing. I wanted to sit there all day and never move. It's the perfect place to get work done while enjoying delicious coffee and food. Also, I read the reviews before going that said it was a sketchy place which made me a little hesitant initially. This place is definitely NOT sketchy, it's different than Paris but a really cute neighborhood - reminds me of downtown Brooklyn. If you need a place do work, chill out for a day, and/or enjoy great food - I highly recommend this place!

Hidden off in a quiet corner of the 18th is Café Lomi, which apparently opened as a café only after roasting coffee and supplying it to restaurants and specialty coffee houses in Paris. As we're working our way through lists like Good Coffee in Paris, as well as recommendations on Beanhunter in Paris, this was one of my faves so far: fantastic, eclectic and sophisticated clientele to watch, a tasty croissant and pain au chocolat, and a lovely airy and spacious industrial space, yet cosy. The lattes were pretty much perfect... and as in Paris, it's hard to find contemporary-style (ahem, Australian) coffee, that's high praise. Oh, and lots of space on the sidewalk outside for us to park our Vélibs! 13.40 Euros for two pastries and two lattes, and lovely service. A great start to a Sunday in spring! I'm only sorry I didn't try the café fromage that other reviewers are talking of. Next time...

Café Lomi is a treasure in an area than many don't dare to stroll through... which is what I find most of it's charm to do! I love how spacious the place is. It's cozy atmosphere makes me want to crack open a book with one of their delicious espressos & a snack and park my mind for a few hours. I'm not a coffee pro, but I could really taste the quality in their coffee. I'm hoping to learn more about coffee each time I go there. The staff is oh so friendly. Petit plus: they do have free wifi. A wonderful place to be productive and do some homework or work on projects.

Loved Le Cafe Lomi - what a Parisian gem! I first learned about Cafe Lomi by attending a Yelp event here, but deemed it necessary to have a second visit during my vacation. When I visited on a wintry Saturday afternoon, this place was packed! I don't think there was a seat left - - which is great, for being a new-er coffeehouse. (I believe.) I picked up some coffee beans to go (as a gift for my brother) - - but damn! Why didn't I buy some for me?? The owner (I believe) had recommended the Lomi Blend -- which was a great mix of 3 or so varieties. Free WiFi (or WeeFee as the French pronounce)... always a plus, for us travelers to check up on our emails. Really liked the decor in here...as Meg G stated, it's very cozy. If you love coffee, I would definitely seek out Cafe Lomi for any future Parisian visits. :)

Love this place! It's one of the few places in Paris you can drink great coffee, eat healthy food, and work on your laptop for hours (free wifi). The coffee is AMAZING, so many options, great quality especially for Paris, and they sell beans too. Prices aren't bad especially compared to a lot of other coffee geek spots in Paris and even NYC or SF. Soup/salad combo is great and a good amount of food for the price, but they only do one soup and one salad that changes seasonally so if you don't like the menu that day you're limited to something else...which is fine because their cakes and scones are awesome! Brunch is overpriced (normal for Paris) but looks yummy. Limited outlets so get there early or in between the rush or on a weekday morning if you're planning on getting work done for more than a few hours.

A fantastic coffee house in Paris. They roast their own beans and the staff are highly trained to brew coffee in various methods. They're passionate about the coffee they serve, and the staff are always smiley friendly. I usually have a laugh with them every time I go. Often there's something new to discover at this café, I love hanging out there.

Stopped in at this small cafe while visiting in Paris and was so glad we did. The service and food was excellent. We even came back on the last day of our trip because it was so good. Highly recommend the cafe au lait and the ham, artichoke, spinach, and mozzarella toast.

Delicious chocolate cake and cappuccinos. Simply divine. Took a bag of beans home as well.

Excellent specialty coffee drinks and great vibe!! Truly one of the best coffee places in Paris! The service was friendly and the place has nice leather couches and an ambiance for chatting with friends or writing your next great manuscript! Be warned however that this shop is in a really crappy part of the city! I saw an article on the top 10 coffee places in Paris, which described this place as "on the edge of Montmartre." That is definitely not an accurate description. This is quite far from Montmartre (by Paris walking standards) and is a neighborhood filled with graffiti, prostitutes, drug deals, and the odd mugging. So as long as that doesn't scare you away, give it a try.

Great place that reminds me of my coffee times in Manhattan's village. I'm very happy to have found this in Paris! Their coffee is strong and delicious and they have some experimental delights like "cafe fromage". Have you ever tried dipping blue cheese in coffee? Here you can!

Wonderful chai latte, and spirited espresso! Cool interior, very relaxed and comfortable. We took the 12 line to Marcadet-Poissoniers and found the area a bit sketchy, but we're from Maine, so a bit naive and sheltered. Worth the trip regardless!

Delicious! Very happy to have some good coffee in my neighborhood. Not too pricey and a great atmosphere.

The atmosphere is great and coffee is really good, but I could not connect to their wifi... So if you don't need the internet, I would greatly recommend the place, but if you are looking for a good internet connection, I would go somewhere else.

Spectacular cappuccino. Both from an espresso (they roast their own) and a finished product perspective (skilled baristas). Oh and the carrot cake was fresh and delicious. Coming from the Pacific NW of the US (Portland and Seattle), where coffee is taken really seriously, I was thrilled to have such a great experience here. Oh and the people were wonderful as well. Highly recommend.
