Les Deux Musées
One of the many cafés in the great French tradition of naming your establishment after something obvious nearby. Les Deux Musées is nestled just in behind the Musée d’Orsay and serves delicious paté alongside fairly bland coffee. Perfectly serviceable, but not much more than that.

Café du Louvre (Under the Pyramid)
Musée du Louvre, 75001 Paris, France
Don’t do it. One of the worst I had in Europe. It was espresso (cafe crème) but pretty burnt I think. I don’t think I could make it that bad if I was trying. If you’re really desperate, there’s a Starbucks there too.. at least you might know what you’re…

Coutume
47 Rue de Babylone, 75007 Paris, France

Caldo Freddo
21 Rue Montorgueil, 75001 Paris, France
After a few less than stellar espresso experiences in Paris, and with Decaf Sucks reviews a little thin on the ground in this part of the world, I decided to try some alternative sources for a decent café recommendation. Through the coffeegeek.com forum…
