The Best Cafés in Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur

Perhaps the best, but certainly the prettiest brunch café in the city is tucked away in a side street in the old town. Breakfast brioche bun burgers and blueberry pancakes - with "Chantilly au mascarpone" - are to die for.

This very popular brunch spot is all about the best time of the day: sweet idleness. Favourites on the menu, which is bursting with sumptuous delicacies: truffle croq, prawn bao with yuzumayo, French toast with almond brittle. Make a reservation? Yes.

You could sit on the pretty street terrace of this lovingly run corner café for hours. Perhaps it's because of the excellent coffee brewed on a La Marzocco, the delicious tartines or the many delicious homemade cakes.

Here you will find the best (specialty) coffee in town on two floors plus a street terrace, as well as an excellent matcha latte, freshly blended smoothies, homemade cookies and cakes and a good selection of tartines, sandwiches and bowls.

Cute little café with sunny outdoor seating and third-wave coffee specialties near the Basilica of the Assumption. In addition to classics such as espresso, cappuccino and latte, there is also very good filter coffee from the Chemex and various gimmicks.

Lovingly run sourdough organic bakery in the heart of the old town with artisan bread, brioche, Viennoiserie and more. There is a small café next to the shop where you can have breakfast, brunch, lunch and coffee.

With a pâtisserie and two coffee shops, "the boys" enrich Nice with homemade cakes, pain perdu, lovingly and high-quality sandwiches and bagels as well as crisp, colourful bowls and salads. The service is friendly, the vintage furnishings individualistic.

The café is flooded with light thanks to its glazed gabled roof and has a pretty roof terrace. The cake display case is stacked with sweet treats, which are complemented by egg dishes, burgers, tartines, sweet and savoury pancakes, fresh juices and coffee.

This small café chain with a wide variety of cupcakes, muffins, cakes and cookies inspired by American baking culture, as well as milkshakes, smoothies, bagels and salads, has a large fan base. Brunch is also very popular.

If you are looking for a little refreshment in the labyrinth of alleyways in the old town, you will find it here. Croissants and pastries are made in-house, the walls are countered in colourful wallpaper and black and white photos. The furnishings are homemade.
