This is a wonderful coffee shop in Marseille. The owner spent some time in Seattle and it…read moredefinitely shows. It's an old apartment, with parquet flooring, some mid century furnishings and beautiful plasterwork and windows in the main dining room. Everything is relaxed and they don't mind if you take your time here. There is free Wifi and there are a lot of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan choices. Everything is prepared ahead of time, so it's mainly salads and sandwiches, though I've been impressed with some of their desserts. Gluten-free isn't very popular in France and this place has been a godsend. They also have plenty of outdoor seating, though I prefer the quiet beauty of the interior. Favorite items so far are the vegetarian noodles in a Thai peanut sauce and the carrot cake. I will be honest though, while the pastries are impressive if you can't have gluten, if you're not gluten free then you may be disappointed that the baked goods aren't exactly like the normal wheat flour cakes. I come here because it's gluten free, vegan, has a great ambiance, free wifi and music that I can handle listening to for hours - mainly "indie" from about five years ago - Iron & Wine, Regina Spektor, Sufjan Stevens, etc. I prefer this location to the other one because this one is open later and has a lot more room, as well as a better ambiance. The other location is more of a typically restaurant, while this is a converted apartment.

Green Bear Coffee is the place I would go every time I ran out of inspiration to prepare anything…read morefor myself. Lunch there and not only would I had my tasting buds delighted, but I would go back home full of fresh and delicious ideas! That's their key concept: home made items, seemingly modest but absolutely yummy, in an atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours and...why not.. ask for another cookie! They also offer a nice selection of teas, perfect for a chilled afternoon. I am not a gluten-free person but would still go there because Green Bear Coffee's combination of tasty food, comfy ambiance, and smiley staff does indeed make you feel, heart and soul and body, healthier.
