While you could certainly grab a coffee or tea to-go at this sweet little cafe, we prefer to snag one of the tables (or a stool outside if we're lucky!) and tuck into one of their cinnamon rolls. 

In a city concentrated with bistros, brasseries, and gourmet dining it's hard to pin point to an address. Though, when in the 6th, the arrondissement of the Luxembourg Gardens and the Saint-Sulpice Church, it's only apt to head to Le Petite Lutetia for a golden, crusted pate au for gras and towering Paris-Brest for dessert. With a terrace spilling with merry wine drinkers and an interior lined with mirrored walls, tightly-packed tables, and baroque-coloured oil paintings, it's the quintessential nouveau bistro. 

Café Coutume in Paris is a trendy coffee haven with an extensive array of specialty brews. Consult the knowledgeable baristas for guidance, and enjoy organic delights and savour their house-roasted coffee. Don't miss the 'detox veggie brunch' paired with a superb espresso or cappuccino.

At Maison Verot, locals stand in line to stock up on all kinds of elaborate goodies. Try their specialty, pâté en croûte. With multiple locations across the city, we like the Rue Notre Dame des Champs the most to gather snacks for a picnic in the nearby Jardin du Luxembourg.
