Central Perk has long been seen as the gathering place for locals to get a great cup of coffee and share moments with friends.

​Despite being renowned for its iconic cafés, for a long time, Paris enjoyed the dubious reputation of being a capital of 'bad' coffee. However, this observation seems to have become less and less true, as micro-roasters and specialty coffee shops have begun sprouting on what seems like a monthly basis.
