About Paris

For a long time, Paris had a reputation among traveling coffee drinkers: the cafés are beautiful, the coffee is bad. The brasserie espresso, served from a high-volume Pavoni machine and ground from beans that had been sitting open for a week, was the punchline. Cafés were for sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine, or with a Pernod, or with a friend you hadn't seen in five years. Coffee was the byproduct.

Around 2010, that began to change. Belleville Brûlerie opened in the 19th arrondissement in 2013 and started supplying restaurants and cafés with light-roasted, single-origin coffee. Coutume Café opened on Rue de Babylone in 2011 and brought a Tokyo-quiet brewing pace to the Left Bank. Telescope, on Rue Villedo, became the Right Bank's first serious specialty café. Within five years, Paris had a full specialty scene, and within ten, the city's third-wave landscape rivaled London's.

The classical Parisian café persists. Café de Flore on Saint-Germain-des-Prés, opened in 1887, still pours an espresso the way an espresso has always been poured at Café de Flore: dark, fast, served on a white saucer, six and a half euros. Les Deux Magots two doors down does the same. The coffee is not the point. The room is. Tourists pay for the chair and the shadow of every Surrealist who once sat in it.

The third wave occupies a different real estate. Belleville Brûlerie roasts in the 19th and 20th arrondissements. Coutume on the Left Bank. Telescope and Honor near the Palais Royal. Lomi in the 18th. Fragments in the Marais. Each operates with the kind of discipline that would have read as foreign in Paris in 1995 and reads as native now. The baristas know the bean. The bean has a story. The story is not annotated on the wall in calligraphy. You ask if you want to know.

The neighborhoods stratify cleanly. The Marais, occupying the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, holds the densest specialty per square meter. The 11th arrondissement, Oberkampf, has the contemporary craft register. The Left Bank, Saint-Germain through Odéon, holds the classical café tradition almost intact. Belleville and Ménilmontant in the east hold the working-class Parisian café-tabac, with smoke spilling from the door at six in the morning and the cheapest espresso in the city at one euro forty.

What changed is that Paris stopped apologizing for coffee. The brasserie espresso still exists and probably always will, because it is part of the city's social fabric. But it now sits alongside a serious specialty scene, and a Parisian who wants a single-origin Ethiopian Yirgacheffe brewed by hand can have one in any arrondissement before noon. Twenty years ago, that sentence would have read as fiction. Now it reads as Tuesday.
