Riverose

the filter coffee here is where you should start. riverose sits on avenue de new york, which runs right along the seine in the 16th, and there's something quietly particular about drinking a well-made filter on that stretch of paris, where the river light shifts depending on the hour. the 16th isn't the city's obvious coffee neighborhood, so a place this focused on doing things properly stands out more than it might elsewhere. regulars clearly agree, and they keep coming back for a reason. if you're there on a weekday morning, the filter is worth the time it takes. slow down with it.
