↗ Open in MapsThe pioneer. Tom Clark (Australian) and Antoine Nétien (engineer-turned-roaster) opened in 2011 and catalysed the entire Parisian specialty coffee revolution. Own roastery, direct sourcing from producers. The 7e flagship is a large industrial space near Les Invalides - one of the few specialty cafés where you can actually spread out. Has evolved into a full restaurant with table service.
What to order
Chemex or AeroPress if you want the full Coutume experience. Espresso for something quick. Their brunch is legit.
Insider tip
The Babylone original is still the best. Beans available to buy and ship home.
