Whether you need a quick energy boost or want to work from a caf&eacute; instead of from home, these are the best Paris coffee shops to visit.

There's no doubt that Paris is among the many cities in the world with a vibrant coffee culture. But, what not many people may know is that, unlike bustling New Yorkers, the French prefer savoring their coffee, complete with a tartine or croissant on the side. So, whenever you visit the French capital, don't just chug down your coffee in one go. Instead, sit down and relish every sip of it while you observe the passersby. Before you ask, yes, there'll be plenty of seats to do that. Whether you&rsquo;re a local, have an upcoming trip planned, or need a sign to book that flight, these are the must-visit Paris coffee shops to sip in style.&nbsp;

Located on Boulevard Saint-Germain, Ralph's Coffee is among the must-visit Paris coffee shops. The New York City caf&eacute; chain took social media by storm in 2022, and for good reason. It's not just because of the posh ambiance, it's also because of the quality of its specialty coffee. But Ralph Lauren's flagship Paris coffee shop took its interior to a whole new level of French chic, from its warm, cozy lighting, retro bistro chairs, and carved oak on the walls.&nbsp;

Bon Bouquet Caf&eacute; is loved for its vibrant energy yet quaint space. From the second you walk in, you'll feel the flowery, garden-inspired ambiance. But, its real draw is the all-day brunch and specialty coffee menu. Whether your choice of breakfast is pancakes and bacon, avocado toast, eggs, or bagels, this Paris Coffee shop offers something for everyone&mdash;even dessert lovers.&nbsp;

If you've been on social media at all the past year, chances are you've seen or heard of Caf&eacute; Kitsun&eacute;, a French chain of caf&eacute;s with 16 boutiques in the world, including 4 in Paris. Like Ralph's Coffee, there's a reason why the Paris coffee shop deserves all the hype: its modern, simple interiors, freshly roasted quality beans, and sweet and savory treats. Whether you visit the Palais Royal, Tuileries, or Louvre location, or even the flagship roastery in rue du Vertbois, you'll&nbsp;literally taste the passion for crafting the perfect cup of coffee.&nbsp;

Don't get the sign and caf&eacute; name confused. This Paris coffee shop used to be a cobbler's workshop, hence the sign "cordonnerie," which is French for "shoe repair shop." Seats may be limited, but if you get lucky or visit during off-peak hours, make sure to indulge in their expertly crafted classics and hot chocolate.&nbsp;

Looking for a caf&eacute; with a rich history? This Paris coffee shop is a must-visit. Located in a 16th-century townhouse about a hundred meters away from the Notre Dame Cathedral, Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole's interior includes stained glass, antiques, and velvet chairs. But it's not all about the charming ambiance or the quality coffee; it's also about the highly-rated classic dishes and desserts like the belle sole meuni&egrave;re and cr&egrave;me brul&egrave;e.&nbsp;

Located in the Marais neighborhood, this Paris coffee shop is a blend of dedication to specialty coffee, cycling culture, and community events. It even offers bike rentals and plentiful counter seating to foster the welcoming atmosphere it's loved for. With regards to the <a href="https://www.lepelotoncafe.cc/en/menu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">menu</a>, Le Peloton Caf&eacute; keeps its coffee, drinks, and food simple.&nbsp;

Shakespeare and Company Caf&eacute;

Many people come to Shakespeare and Company Caf&eacute; for its views of the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral. But, there's more to this Paris coffee shop than just its breathtaking views. Inspired by the historic Shakespeare and Company bookstore, this caf&eacute; is a cozy retreat for coffee enthusiasts in search of their next reading spot. If you visit, make sure to try their signature "M&eacute;lange Shakespeare" blend, or their specialties like the spiced raw cacao latte. Plus, with their delectable array of vegan and vegetarian pastries and meals, you can probably last the whole day indulging the views at this Paris coffee shop.&nbsp;
