The Avenue des Champs-Élysées runs 1,910 m and is 70 m wide. It began with a decree of 24 August 1667 opening a road for courtiers, which André Le Nôtre laid out as a royal axis from the Tuileries, and its name was fixed in 1709.1 The 8e around it is a workplace more than a home: it had 176,116 jobs in 2023 against 35,317 residents.3

That shapes its cafés. The avenue itself has a few big names at big prices, while the side streets just north of it, Rue du Colisée and Rue de Ponthieu above all, have more cafés. Beyond them, the arrondissement’s other quarters, Faubourg-du-Roule, Madeleine and Europe, have counters that follow office hours.3

Local tip: Skip the avenue for your first coffee of the day: Coutume on Rue de Ponthieu opens at 07:30, and Bacha doesn’t open until 09:30.

Coffee chains in Champs-Élysées (8e)

Getting to the Champs-Élysées

Line 1 runs under the whole avenue, with stops at Concorde, Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau, Franklin D. Roosevelt, George V and Charles de Gaulle–Étoile.1 Line 13 meets it at Clemenceau, line 9 at Franklin D. Roosevelt, and lines 2 and 6 and RER A at Étoile.1 Gare Saint-Lazare, in the Europe quarter, serves the northeast of the arrondissement.3 At the Étoile end, L’Étoile 1903 at 4 Avenue de Wagram and Do Ré Mi at 18 Avenue Hoche both open 07:00–02:00.

Fouquet’s, at No. 99

Le Figaro announced Louis Fouquet’s opening on the avenue on 28 September 1898, and the popular story that he bought an earlier bar in 1899 is false.2 Its ground-floor room has been a registered historic monument since 1990, and the César winners’ names were set in brass plaques at the entrance from 1988 to 2012.2 Nicolas Sarkozy’s election-night party in 2007 became a symbol of his “bling-bling” image; on 16 March 2019, during a Gilets jaunes protest, the restaurant was vandalized and caught fire, reopening on 14 July.2

In a Figaro comparison reported in 2022, its coffee was the most expensive of 20 well-known Paris rooms, at €8 in the dining room, against an average of about €3.20.6

Bacha Coffee and the other names on the avenue

Bacha Coffee, founded in Marrakech in 1910, opened its first European flagship at No. 26 on 17 April 2025. The space covers about 1,500 m² on three floors, with a 100-seat café lounge and more than 200 Arabica coffees from 35 countries, in rooms inspired by Dar el Bacha.4 It opens daily 09:30–21:00. Up the avenue, 86 Champs at No. 89 stays open until 22:30 on most nights and until midnight on Saturdays. Café Joyeux, at No. 144, employs staff with mental or cognitive disabilities and bakes its own treats.5

One block north of the avenue, Coutume, at 3 Rue de Ponthieu, opens at 07:30 every day. Moka Brunch & Coffee at 11 Rue du Colisée runs 08:00–19:00 daily, and Café Lacoste, a tennis-themed all-day café announced for February 2026, is at No. 36.7 Le Montaigne and Au XV du Rond-Point sit side by side on Rue de Ponthieu. East toward Rue La Boétie, Culotée Boétie at 42 Rue de Miromesnil serves brunch until mid-afternoon, and Black Sheep Coffee is at 10 Rue La Boétie.

Madeleine, Saint-Augustin and Parc Monceau

Place de la Madeleine has Le Café Fauchon at No. 30, Le Select Vignon at No. 28 and Le Castiglione at No. 8. Around Place Saint-Augustin, La Pépinière opens at 07:00 on weekdays and serves until 01:30.

Parc Monceau, about 8.2 ha, began in the 1770s as the duc de Chartres’s garden, and Napoleon III inaugurated Adolphe Alphand’s redesign on 14 August 1861.8 Claude-Nicolas Ledoux’s 1787 rotunda still stands by the entrance on Boulevard de Courcelles, close to Monceau station on line 2.8 Valois, at 1 Place de Rio de Janeiro nearby, opens 07:00–00:00 on weekdays.
