Planning a European café tour or just looking for the best cafés in Paris with beautiful design? We've rounded up a few of our favourite Parisian spots that not only serve great coffee but also get all the little design details right — from modern café signage to clever, space-saving menu boards. Whether you're a café owner, design lover, or simply scouting for café inspiration, these are must-visits for your Euro summer holiday Paris itinerary.
Wiolette
📍 31 Rue du Four, 75006 Paris
If you're searching for aesthetic cafés in Paris or cozy cafés with design-led interiors, Wiolette ticks every box. This inviting spot has the perfect indoor-outdoor flow paired with great design. Inside, it leans into a subtle brutalist influence with clean concrete countertops and mirrored box-style tables, while outside, the deep green storefront is set against a traditional Parisian stone façade. If this wasn't enough to stop passerbyers, our Magnetic Letter Sidewalk Sign adds a minimalist signage touch to tie the whole look together.
Inside, Wiolette uses a Wooden Letter Board for the main menu, paired with Counter Signs and a Bakery Display Case at the till for a tidy, modern look. It’s also dog-friendly, so if you're a design-conscious traveller looking for a coffee or one of their signature matchas, you can bring your pup along too.

Tanat (ex Kawa)
📍 46 Rue Tiquetonne, 75002 Paris
A perfect find for those looking for minimalist cafés in Paris or Scandi-inspired coffee shops, Tanat brings a calming palette and refined simplicity to another one of Paris’s vibrant neighbourhoods. On the street, the A-Frame Box Sign keeps things understated yet professional, while a crisp Opening Hours Sign in the window makes sure visitors know when to drop by.
Inside, the Studio Roller previously acted as a flexible wall display for their espresso and filter coffee offerings, but they've since switched to our Rectangle Menu Display for an easy magnetic menu offering; both ideal options for cafés looking for versatile signage solutions.
If you're a coffee connoisseur who values responsibly sourced beans from high-quality origins, roasted locally and tasting next-level — this one's for you.

Los Andes Coffee
📍 3 Rue de Crussol, 75011 Paris
For travellers searching hidden gem cafés in Paris, Los Andes Coffee is worth adding to your map. This Colombian-owned spot blends bold personality with exquisite menu offerings — from hosting DJ's and dance mornings to serving direct-sourced specialty coffee alongside creative offerings like banana mochas, cascara fresca (a sparkling drink made from coffee cherry pulp), and cheesy cassava bread known as pandes. Outside, our Letter Sidewalk Sign is the perfect welcome to your next delicious feast.
Inside, the Ceiling Menu Board is a clever solution for small spaces. Suspended above the counter, the team use it for both menus and messages, looking perfectly minimal in their vibrant space.
If you're looking for a cafe that displays a big personality, eclectic menu and celebrates connections, this is the one to bookmark.

Noir
📍 15 different locations - proof you can never have too much of a good thing.
If you’re after a beautifully designed café in Paris that feels refined but never repetitive, Noir Coffee Shop is one to know. With over 15 locations across the city, each space has its own distinctive interior — from sculptural marble counters and layered timber details to pastel textures and mirrored shelving. Each space is nothing short of a masterpiece, and we couldn't be prouder to have our products featured in them.
Outside one Noir, we have a clean, black Round Sign to keep the modern and chic look. Inside, you’ll spot a rotating mix of our signage depending on the location — the Market Chalkboard Menu and Card Counter Signs in one...
…a Wooden Letter Board in another, mounted behind incredibly architectural countertops, and the Atelier Letter Board in a further interior design masterpiece — set into a curved wall and paired with deep red marble counters and vintage-style lighting.
For a visual masterpiece, look no further than one of Noir's locations — it might just be the most design-forward coffee setting you'll ever come across.
