Terres de Café Bourdonnais

A blue and yellow shopfront on Avenue de la Bourdonnais in the 7th, a few streets from the Champ de Mars, with a planted terrace of red metal bistro tables that is the first thing you notice from the pavement. It is a rare place near the Eiffel Tower where the coffee is the reason to stop rather than the view, with Terres de Café's own roasted beans poured as espresso and filter and sold by the bag.

The range runs from approachable house coffees to rare lots graded by cupping score, and the same house style as its sister shops applies, with traceable origins and organic options. Weekday opening is at eight, Saturday half an hour later and Sunday at ten, all closing at seven in the evening, so it works well for a pause before or after a walk along the Seine.
