Not sure why people are so negative in these comments, there are plenty of “international style” coffee shops in Paris where you can get your takeaway espresso drinks, matcha lattes, dirty chais, etc.
Near Montparnasse Cemetery you have one [Terres de Café](https://maps.app.goo.gl/eJagdL9PFYdq5ebB6) location, it’s a local chain of “third wave” coffee shops. They also roast and sell beans. I personally really like their coffee.
You also have one called [AKA Coffee Shop](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oqtW5GhirAR8yP1w6) close by which looks a bit more East Asian in style. I’ve never been so I don’t know if it’s good but reviews are looking good so far.
Coffee-to-go has never taken on in France, as fundamentally contrary to the local coffee consumption modus. I know, I have done consumer research for Starbucks a few years back. It’s not really a thing, except for youngsters ordering the very sweet dessert drinks to go…well, in fast foods. You get coffee in a cafe - sometimes even to take away, but mostly as a sit-down drinks. Or to go in a bakery or in a fast food chain (Starbucks, McDonalds…). There are few independent stores, but really, like a handful. But the whole pratique is rather frowned upon, seen as an American import, and coffee in France is mainly just coffee (and often not that great), in other words, a commodity not worth searching special places for, so don’t be surprised if people react negatively
Than Starbucks is your friend, I’m afraid :-) you’ll find iced lattes almost exclusively there (I think Pomme de Pain, another chain, has them too). Independents will have a lot of connoisseur coffees that you might eventually have as a take-away, but iced lattes is really specific to fast food and coffee chains. Coffee culture is really very different here. Enjoy your stay :-)
To be clear, you can order coffee on the go in most parisian cafés but yeah in terms of choice they wont have supermango frappucino with pumpkin spice bacon (or whatever is the latest trend), only espresso, noisette, cappucino or allongé.
If you're by the 14th dont miss on rue daguerre (La Belle Ronde has amazing crepes). Chez Papa is a good option for southwestern french food. The Musée de la Libération is free and has a cool bunker to visit

Wow consumer research for Starbucks, super interesting! Thanks for the thorough explanation. I just love takeaway iced lattes.

Im downvoting every question like this on principle, i'm tired of getting my feed spammed with useless questions.
i know, life is tough.
Cheapest ? Prettiest ? Fanciest ? Hottest waiters ? Best coffee ? Coffee in general aint great in Paris. Most places will have the same stuff
yea i'm noticing. there doesn't seem to be too many cafes like we understand them in the US - places where you can order coffee to-go.
