Noir is one of Paris's serious specialty-coffee roasters — part of the wave that finally dragged the city, long indifferent to good coffee, into the third-wave era. Expect carefully sourced, expertly roasted beans and properly made espresso and filter, in a pared-back space that's about the cup rather than the scene. For anyone who's been disappointed by the gap between Paris's food and its coffee, places like Noir are the correction.
