Paris Cafes: Seven excellent coffee shops in Montmartre - The Earful Tower
So you’re in Montmartre but you’re hankering for a proper cup of coffee. None of this bistro nonsense, these espressos that don’t taste of much. You want a delicious specialty coffee, perhaps with a nice cafe ambience too. Well look no further, here are seven coffee shops that are excellent. And full disclosure, I didn’t visit all seven during our 24 hours in Montmartre (that would have been crazy), but I did live in the area for two years so you can rest assured I’ve done my research properly. 1. SYLON This cosy little spot is just downhill from the charming rue des Abbesses and is the perfect place for a hot cup of joe. The staff will make you feel at home and the coffee is always perfect. Address: 4bis Rue Piemontesi, 75018 Paris @sylon.de.montmartre 2. LA MAIN NOIRE We had breakfast here during our visit and that was excellent too. The cafe serves specialty coffee sources from micro roasters, and has a seasonal menu for their delicious food which is all natural, organic, and vegan. And the cafe itself is charming, on a street with cool street art. Address: 12 Rue Cavallotti, 75018 Paris @la.main.noire 3. LES CINQ MARCHES This is a relatively new place, tucked away on a back road near the top of the hill. It seems like a very local place, fewer tourists and more residents. Beautiful bright interior, great coffee, lovely food. And the name (which translates to “The five steps” comes from, you guessed it, the steps leading to the cafe. Address: 12 Rue Girardon, 75018 Paris @les.5.marches 4. MIGNON CAFÉ This is a cute little spot indeed, on the back side of the butte and perfect for a rainy day. Also very local, friendly staff, and great cakes. Last I checked you could even get a loyalty card, so if you visit enough you’ll get a free cappuccino before too long 🙂 Address: 67 Rue Caulaincourt, 75018 Paris @mignoncafeparis 5. THE BEANS ON FIRE – TROIS FRÈRES The newest on this list, the striking red facade is home to excellent coffee and a range of yummy cakes and pastries. There’s another Beans on Fire in the 11th – a wonderful spot too. Added bonus: When you step out of this cafe you’re on the street that was frozen in 1942 (read more about it here). Address: 61 Rue des Trois Frères, 75018 Paris @thebeansonfire 6. CAFÉ TABAC These guys make a decent cup of joe, sure, but I love this place for its eyebrow-raising exterior. It’s very crooked, very picturesque, very Montmartre. Perhaps don’t expect a lively conversation from the staff 😉 Address: 1bis Rue Ravignan, 75018 Paris @cafetabacparis 7. HARDWARE SOCIETY Right behind the Sacré Coeur you’ll find this gem of a cafe, hyper friendly staff, delicious coffees, and an impressive menu for brunch. Address: 10 Rue Lamarck, 75018 Paris @hardwaresocieteparis Enjoyed this list? Check out my best cafe tip for each of the 20 Paris arrondissements. Really like this list?

Cap chez Mignon, le café le plus adorable de Paris
Le pitch Depuis quelques années, Montmartre voit fleurir bon nombre d’endroits dits « tendance ». L'arrondissement, souvent perçu comme un panier à touristes, s’est petit à petit métamorphosé en place to be – pour le plus grand bonheur de ses habitants. Ça, l’équipe de Mignon l’a bien compris en s’installant, en mars, au cœur de la rue de Caulaincourt, l’une des artères les plus en vogue du XVIIIe parisien. Décrit comme un coffee shop de quartier par son propriétaire, le café est pour les riverains en passe de devenir le nouveau QG. Sol en béton, ampoules suspendues au plafond et long bar rose bonbon : à l’intérieur, on pourrait presque se croire en Californie. Si la décoration reste minimaliste, on s’aperçoit vite que tout a été pensé dans les moindres détails – du marbre sur le bar aux fleurs séchées déposées au centre des tables. Coup de cœur pour le personnel, absolument adorable. Dress Code Décontracté.e ou endimanché.e : l’important c’est d’être à l’aise. Place de choix Assis au bar qui longe la baie vitrée, pour observer la riche vie de quartier, ou sur la grande table commune installée sous la verrière. Voisins de table Journalistes en free-lance venu.e.s trouver un endroit qui propose wifi et bon café, et aficionados de brunchs copieux mais pas bourratifs. Le week-end, on y retrouve des familles – de nombreuses options sont proposées pour les enfants. Au menu En semaine, on opte pour un poke bowl, dont la garniture change chaque jour. On l’accompagne d’une limonade artisanale (un délice) ou d'un latte au lait d'avoine. Le week-end, on choisit évidemment le brunch, très complet et délicieux : une tartine au choix (chèvre et miel - pesto, tomates confites et jambon de parme - avocat et œuf mollet), un grand bol de granola maison, fruits de saison et fromage blanc (une option sans lactose est proposée), une gaufre (fondante), une boisson fraîche et une boisson chaude. Oui, tout ça, cuisiné à partir d’ingrédients (presque tous) bios, fournis par les commerçants locaux. Potentiel Instagram Gling, gling, gling : très fort. Tout est appétissant, présenté avec goût dans de la vaisselle ancienne déparaillée. Quant au lieu, les adeptes de rose seront ravis. Seul risque : se jeter sur les assiettes sans avoir eu le temps de sortir son téléphone. Doggy bag Un café à emporter et une part de gâteau maison : on se rue sur le banana bread, léger à souhait. Brunch à 25 euros. MIGNON café, 67 rue de Caulaincourt, Paris XVIIIe.
