I was obsessed with this coffee shop during my time in the area. Such great coffee and a wonderful bargain

While wondering about on the streets, I came by Anticafé, decided to enter, and had a great time! It reminded me of the Coffee Shop in my home university in the US because both places had the similar atmosphere - where you are comfortable sitting and working individually but also because of the presence of others. I have never been to a cafe that charges by how long you stay there, and you could drink and eat as much as you want - it was much more generously priced than any other place in Paris, so if you are a student like I am, I definitely recommend this place for a workplace or a hangout with friends. :)

Pendant faire une promenade, j'ai trouvé cet café. J'ai decidé à entrer parce que le règle dans cet café était très différent et intéressant. Dans Anticafé, on paie basé sur les nombres des heures on y reste. Par exemple, pour une heure j'ai payé 4 euros, et il n'y a pas une limite pour combien je bois ou je mange!! C'était ma première fois quand je n'ai pas senti que j'ai été arraché dans un endroit à manger à Paris! Le boissons sont excellentes, et le café était calme généralement afin qu'on puisse travailler bien.

その辺ぶらぶらしていたら偶然見つけたカフェです。料金は滞在時間によって異なり（1時間4ユーロ、以後1時間3ユーロ、1ヶ月で200ユーロ等）、雰囲気もよさそうだったので入ってみました。他のカフェに行くと、ドリンク一つとお菓子を頼むだけで10ユーロ近くなり、ぼったくられた気分になっていました。それに比べ、ここは1時間4ユーロで食べ放題飲み放題と、余りに気前がよいので、なんだか申し訳ない気持ちになりました^^;でもお菓子もコーヒーもおいしかったです！何より「人との繋がりのきっかけとなる場所を提供する！」というテーマを掲げているおかげか、アットホームな雰囲気があり、居心地がよかったです。

I was really pleased to find this spot in a great location near the Louvre. It meant I could get a couple hours of work done all while drinking plenty of jet lag fixing espresso!

The space was not too crowded. I think the price per hour (5 Euro) may be more than some are willing to pay but since I didn't know the city well it was an easy find and an easy choice.

On a Friday there were plenty of open seats and never had to wait to order a drink. The espresso was fine and the wifi was speedy. What more could you ask for?

Great concept. Pay €5 per hour with drinks and snacks included. I guess it's the "anti" cafe since it's the opposite of the typical Laptopistan experience with people sitting around for hours milking cheap drinks. I like that you can sit around and not feel guilty about it since you are paying "rent" to do it. 

There are plenty of outlets all around. Wi-Fi is extremely fast. 

I'm not sure how a place like this can survive in a high rent neighborhood, since coffee shops often rely on volume from takeout orders. But in any case I hope they do survive.

This place is cool. 
People are sweet. Bilingual, as well so if you're an English speaking traveler looking for a laid back coffee house vibe. Head here. 
This place also has the best cup of coffee I've had in Paris. 
$4 per hour; $13 per day. 
Pay and drink however much coffee you want. 
They have free wifi.
Comfy chairs and snacks.

This is the coffee shop Paris was missing. Good coffee is nice but it wasn't the missing element, what was missing was a sense of community. The thought that you're not just one peon passing by who the coffee shop owner would prefer leaves as soon as they come in to make way for a horde of anonymous customers. 

This is a coffee shop designed around people, and it shows. The space is well designed and lit, you can feel the comfy as you come in -- a rare treat in Paris. 

Although it's no obvious, as you come in you simply ask for a white card at the register and there's no need to pay upfront. An unexpected token of trust. The cards themselves have lovely and varied designs (a detailed touch that foretells the rest of the experience). 

You then find a place to sit down, although I have to admit this place is so nice there may come a time when this will be difficult. 

Facing the outside is a self service bar where you can make tea, ask for a cup of coffee, get juice, lemonade, milk, snacks and other coffee shop staples. All of those, are free. The only thing you'll pay for as you leave is the time you spent here. A brilliant little hack. 

Now there are some things for sale like sandwiches, but buying them is up to you because you're allowed to bring your own food. I think they're designed to be ways for you to support the shop whenever you start craving a substantial bite but don't want to leave the surrounding comfort. 

For people like me who like to work from coffee shop once in a while to escape monotony, there's a table by the counter where several people work on laptops. There are plugs available and apparently even a printer if you need it. The rest of the shop is a mix of large living room chairs, sofas, and smaller tables. 

I didn't scope out the bathroom situation but it should follow that nice bathrooms are available considering the concept.

Super interesting cafe concept. You can pay 5 euros per hour for free, fast WiFi, unlimited snacks (rice cakes, cookies, cucumbers, bread, Nutella, chips), unlimited drinks (your typical cafe drinks including espressos and lattes, various assortments of tea, and fancy lemon cucumber water). You can also print up to 10 pages for free by sending to an email. This is a really cool concept and it's hard to believe that you can do all of this for only 5 euros! There are two floors of seating with plenty of working space. If this was near my uni, I would have probably lived here. A perfect place to unwind after a long day of walking.

I absolutely love the concept of this café! Honestly, I didn't get the chance to read reviews before walking in here so I was pleasantly surprised to learn about this pay by the hour concept when I arrived. The barista was very helpful when it came to explaining how the café worked.

Unlimited coffee, tea, snacks?! For €5 an hour, that was amazing to me. I love the pay by the hour concept because it makes me feel like I need to get my work done ASAP since I'm paying for my time to work. Good thing the wifi is incredibly fast! The interior is also quite refreshing and comes with ample outlets and seating.

If you're a local or are staying in Paris for quite some time, there are also options to pay €24 for a day or €365 for a month. I wish this concept could come to America! It was definitely an eye opener for an out-of-the-box way on how a café can be run.

Ok, ill just say this outright. Free WiFi sucks in Paris, absolutely maddening to find a place that has good WiFi. 

And that is why this place is a godsend. I needed to get some work done with good wifi, and this place delivers in spades. I was averaging 80-90 Mbps download speeds, with low latency at 20ms. 

Doesn't seem cheap at 5 € per hour, but when you factor in unlimited drinks and snacks (cereal, pastries, etc) it's a pretty good deal. This place is an oasis in a desert of poor public wifi in France

Forgot to add, look up Travel WiFi in Paris. They rent out wifi Hotspot for a reasonable price. I found them during my stay, and have to say that having the Hotspot was indispensable.

I wish I'd found this place earlier. Great coffee (Americano for me, cappuccino for my friend), decent wifi, snacks behind the bar (baguette with nutella anybody?) clean, friendly, all for 5€ an hour.
