This place is located on Place du Forez on the Pentes de la Croix-Rousse, the Brooklyn of Lyon. It was the first place in Lyon that actually served decent coffee. During the day, it is filled with people on their Macbook Pros, drinking V60s and Aeropresses. I once spotted a guy with a Banjo here.<\/p>\r\n
Le D\u00f4me<\/a><\/h2>\r\n![\"caf\u00e9](\"https:\/\/www.freetourlyon.com\/discover-lyon-magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/dome.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
This caf\u00e9 is located inside the intercontinental hotel in Lyon in the H\u00f4tel Dieu. It is one of the most beautiful places I ever had coffee in. The old hospital has been completely restored and the building is beautiful. The most amazing place inside is right underneath the main dome, that houses now Le D\u00f4me, the bar of the intercontinental. It is very expensive (think 6 euro for an espresso), but it is really worth it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Mokxa<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis place is run by Mokxa, the coffee roaster from Lyon. They sell their specialty roasts here and also serve great coffee. Many of the baristas of all the other places have done courses here to learn how to make cappuccinos and flat lattes. Their new store and coffee place is located in the recently renovated Hotel Dieu.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Slake<\/a>: Caf\u00e9 in Lyon<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSlake is located in Rue de l\u2019ancienne pr\u00e9fecture, right of Place des Jacobins. It can get busy and they serve not only great coffee, but also great cakes, sandwiches and other food. It is nice for lunch as well, if you manage to get a space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Le Luminarium<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nhis place is located in Vieux Lyon, in Rue des Trois Maries. It seems a bit hidden away, but it is actually very nice and surprisingly big. It\u2019s a nice option to have your morning coffee if you are staying in Vieux Lyon.<\/p>\r\n
Zo\u00ef Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/h2>\r\nThey have two locations, one new place in Rue St. Jean in Vieux Lyon and another one on the slopes of the croix-rousse hill. Both very nice!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Nuage<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf there is no space across the street at La Bo\u00eete a Caf\u00e9, this is a good alternative. There is a nice terrace outside on the square and the coffee is pretty good. You find it on Place du Forez<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Les Cafetiers<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is a nice place to have lunch or to stop and have a coffee when shopping in Rue de la Republique, the main shopping street. It is located on Rue Ferrandi\u00e8re. Don\u2019t try to show up here around lunch time, if you just want a coffee. They will send you away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Diploid<\/a><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis place is great for american style breakfast. It gets quite busy at lunch too. You find it on Rue de la Plati\u00e8re.<\/p>\r\n

Another expensive place, but the view from here is so amazing that I have to include in on the list. It is not as expensive as Le Dome, however, you definitely pay for the view. Celest bar is located in the ‘Crayon’, the ‘pencil’ skyscraper that you can see from everywhere in Lyon. It is the hotel bar of the Radisson Blu. I went to explore and it is quite amazing to have a coffee there. Just enter the Pencil building at the Radisson entrance and take the elevator to the top floor. The hotel looks stunning as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
