Télescope

Recommendation by Lemi

A pioneer in Paris’s third-wave coffee scene, Télescope is frequented by locals for consistently excellent coffee, milk-based beverages, and teas. The minimalist joint exudes a homey vibe, complete with mismatched plates carrying made-by-mom type eats. Note that Télescope doesn’t offer free wifi, and using gadgets is also frowned upon. Settle for an afternoon of observation and conversation for a pleasant change.
