Papillote
carefully pulled espresso and matcha drinks
Simple Paris coffee bar with quick, reliable drinks. Friendly team. Best mid‑morning; seating is limited.
In South Pigalle (SoPi), Paris. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Papillote is a specialty coffee shop in Paris's 9th arrondissement (near Blanche / Musée de la Vie Romantique) that opened in September 2023 in a compact ~40 m² former medical office. It pulls espresso on a La Marzocco machine using beans from roaster Tanat, and reviewers single out the matcha latte, chai latte, biscuits and parfait, alongside light food like tartines, breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast. The room has warm ochre tones with brick and tinted plywood and French-made recycled materials, and is praised for friendly staff and a cool atmosphere. Ratings are strong (Google ~4.7, Restaurant Guru 4.8/155 reviews), and the small footprint confirms the curator's note about limited seating.
