The Caféohèque is considered “the best coffee spot in Paris” by David Lebovitz (“Living the sweet life in Paris”).

In Ristretto, Oliver Strand, the curator of the Times Topics coffee page, explores the world of coffee gadgets, coffee beans and why it’s never been easier to get a perfect shot of espresso.

I just came back from Paris, a city where the cafés are as central to daily life as running water and perfectly knotted scarves. And yet the coffee is almost always disappointing.
On this last trip, I went to one coffee place worth visiting.
And it’s the same place several coffee nuts told me to go to, from James Hoffmann of Square Mile Coffee Roasters to Nicholas Cho of Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters. Even New Numbers, a Brooklyn band, pointed me there in 140 characters or less via Twitter. (They threw in a twitpic, too.)
It’s La Caféothèque (52 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville, 011-33-01-53-018-384), and it’s delightful.
Nicolas Clerc Gloria Montenegro de Chirouze, owner of La Caféothèque.
It doesn’t look anything like a French café (no tables outside) or an American coffee bar (no visible tattoos). Actually, it feels less like a coffee shop than a candle shop, and it’s so homey, so disarming, it takes a moment to register that it’s for purists: single-origin espresso drinks only, made with direct-trade beans roasted in-house.
The espresso changes daily. There’s a pipsqueak three-kilo roaster in the front and a coffee bar in the back. Whole beans are available for sale, about 20 varieties at any given time. (I’ll quickly clear up a confusion among the coffee cognoscenti: La Caféothèque is the same thing as Soluna-Cafés — La Caféothèque is the store and the café, Soluna-Cafés is the roaster and brand of coffee beans.)
La Caféothèque was started in 2005 by Gloria Montenegro de Chirouze, the former Guatemalan ambassador to France. She runs it like a country inn: she dotes on her customers, she chats in multiple languages, she smiles. All the baristas smile. And all the baristas take their job seriously, which is maybe what sets it apart from the other cafés in Paris — they pay attention to the espresso, they steam milk with some artistry and flair. It stands out in a city where most work a coffee machine with the slack enthusiasm of a 19th-century laborer.
