You basically have to count half of the 12e out of the running simply because below the train lines you get Bercy and... uh... well there is the cinema museum. But we're here to talk coffee, and aside from Early Bird and Magic Carpet, while there are more coffee shops around, you start getting into the mainstream and 'Pinterest' categories really fast. And one place I'd think about recommending if they didn't have an automatic door that dinged LOUDLY every time someone walked by outside. Either way, the 12e might have even gotten through this ranking one tier too high... you tell me

Those who know, know, and the 11e has reigned supreme for dining and drinking for a long time. It will come as zero surprise to most of you that it landed in the S tier even if, in my mind going in, I had it as an A tier. But the sheer density of coffee-obsessed locations ratchets it up an undeniable notch and once you orient yourself back towards Oberkampf it is very hard not to see it. Insert a trophy emoji here and let's move on :coffee::trophy: there's still some great coffee-loving parts of Paris to uncover.

OK so this threw me - I didn't rank it where I planned to after my conversation with Rod from Comyu. But he had some solid points and it was hard not to agree, even as we were filming at La Maison du Baristaparis in the heart of the 10e.

Mind. Blowing. But. Accurate. I did have to make a change after the COMYU episode of my podcast - be sure to check that out if you want the long form discussion that led to this little series - because we did space a few gems like Los Andes Coffee and Papillote. - but I knew we'd ranked them too low. I just didn't realize how low it would remain. I think this may be the neighborhood that can and will step it up the fastest of all of them.

I recently met someone who wound up at a party the next night in the 8e, and she asked the host if he knew who I was, and he said yeah - that guy hates the 8e. I don't know that I'd go so far as to hate it. I just can't caffeinate in it.

Well there's more to it than that but for this series that's where it can stay.

I warned you the Left Bank was going to be a bloodbath, and things really take their turn as we enter the 7e. While you might get tall ones in the form of the Eiffel Tower, the longest black you'll get will come from Coutume's original spot or, closer to tower time, Terres de Cafe. But it doesn't make for a neighborhood into which I'd drop a coffee nerd.

Does narrow in footprint end up meaning narrow in options? In the case of specialty coffee in the 6e, it kind of does. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have some classics mixed in.

You'd think a neighborhood overflowing with students would also run to the brim with coffee. You might be surprised to find that isn't true. Or perhaps the specialty scene is a little out of reach of the average student... there are some great mainstream additions in the neighborhood but the local favorites would be Crible and Strada.

While the 4e has some of Paris' most iconic views and monuments, the same can't necessarily be said for where it currently sits on the specialty coffee scene. With one big exception, the place at the center of so many of the coffee stories of Paris: The Cafeotheque.

The 3e was one of the surprises for me on this ranking journey, but one that made a lot of sense as we discussed it on the podcast and I thought more about it. Want to see the conversation that started all of this with .io ? You can head over to for some of the clips!
