  3. The Specialty Score

How the Specialty Score works

The Specialty Score is our own editorial, data-driven rating of Paris coffee shops. Each shop gets a score out of 100, shown as a tier from S+ to D.

  • Score out of 100
  • No sponsorship: a shop cannot pay for a better score
  • Recomputed regularly
Specialty ScoreS+96–100

What goes into the score

Main factor

Google rating, made fairer

A shop with 4.8 stars from 12 reviews shouldn’t outrank one with 4.7 stars from 2,000 reviews. We adjust each rating based on how many reviews a shop has, so a handful of enthusiastic friends can’t game the system. In practice, a rating backed by few reviews is pulled toward the Paris coffee shop average, then counts more and more as reviews pile up.

Bonus

A nod to track record

Shops that have been serving great coffee for years get a small bonus. Staying consistently good over time is hard, and it deserves recognition.

Bonus

More than just espresso

Extra points for shops that go further with their coffee: filter / pour-over, cold brew, decaf, beans to take home. Outdoor seating, a space to sit and stay, and food count too, to a lesser extent.

The tiers

The colours match the badge on every shop page.

Shops without a score yet

Not enough data

A shop shows no score in two cases:

  • It has fewer than 25 Google reviews, too few to rate it fairly.
  • Our team has not had time to review it yet.

Newcomer

Shops that opened less than 6 months ago get this badge instead of a score, while reviews pile up and the menu settles. A new place that already has as many Google reviews as a typical Paris coffee shop shows its score right away.

Scores change over time

We recompute scores regularly as ratings and menus change, so a shop can move up or down a tier.
