About The Cafeotheque Of Paris

Encountering the ambiance at The Cafeotheque Of Paris is like stepping into a carefully curated moment of calm amid the city’s bustle. Warm wooden tones and an array of coffee brewing equipment lend the space an artisanal charm that invites lingering over a cup. The lighting manages a delicate balance—bright enough to appreciate the intricate details of the coffee beans but soft enough to avoid harshness, fostering a relaxed yet purposeful environment. Observers might appreciate how the environment itself communicates a passion for coffee, making it as much a destination for connoisseurs as casual visitors.

While the The Cafeotheque Of Paris menu centers predominantly on coffee, the variety presented is a testament to quality and experimentation. Whether the offering is a delicate pour-over or a robust espresso, the attention to the nuances of flavor and origin is clear.

We recently visited this coffee roastery and shop that offers a selection of African and American coffees, with a special focus on Guatemalan beans. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, which made the experience enjoyable. They offer more than a dozen types of single-origin beans, but only two were available for tasting, which felt limiting. Prices range €4.40-€10.00 for 100g . We purchased four different kinds of beans to try both as espresso and drip coffee, but unfortunately, none met our expectations. The coffees either lacked complexity or were overly acidic, leaving us disappointed with the overall taste. While the variety and expertise are impressive, the actual flavors fell short for us.

A cozy café full of character with a vintage charm and riverside terrace. Huge variety of beans, artistic decor, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Feels like stepping into a roastery-meets-gallery. Great spot to relax, read, or chat over a quality cup.

One of my most memorable afternoons in Paris was spent at The Caféothèque. I sat sketching with a coffee in hand while two musicians played piano nearby, an impromptu soundtrack that made the whole moment feel cinematic. The space hums with creative energy, and though it’s often busy and seating can be tight, it’s absolutely worth the wait. As a travelling Australian with a morning coffee ritual, I found their brews to be reliably excellent. The atmosphere is vibrant yet cosy, perfect for artists, writers, or anyone looking to soak up a bit of Parisian charm. If you're visiting the nearby Cité des Arts, this is the ideal spot to pause, recharge, and let your ideas flow

We had been here 2 times. 1st time the cappuccino had a very slight bitter taste. Came back for 2nd try and the coffee was still slightly bitter. Plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating.

A great place to have a coffee in Paris near the Cathedral of Notre Dame! I was looking for a nice coffee shop to relax during my travels and I found this place which I loved. It is very comfortable and the service was excellent. They're also there is outside seating on the Terrace. I really like that they had a huge selection of coffees from around the world which you can buy by the kilogram. I had a coffee and a piece of cake and it was lovely. I recommend this coffee shop in Paris.

We were about to start our walking tour of South Marais and were in need of some coffee. We knew a student who recommended this hip coffee bar so we visited. The coffee was just perfect, the snacks tasty, the setting hip but a bit tight, the service friendly.
