Loved this spot for an early breakfast. Unassuming awning, not as catchy as some of the other bakeries/restaurants nearby, but I'd read this is one of the best bakeries in old town.
Super cheery, friendly staff. The woman who helped us some English and was enthusiastic about just about everything they sell. Signs were all in French, and the other customers all seemed local (i.e. this is not a very touristy place!).
For those of us with babies who are awake at 6am, there aren't many breakfast options open before 11am on Sundays in Nice, so I was happy to find this place!
THE WAIT: None on a rainy Sunday at 9am. They had several customers and were relatively busy for how dead it was outside at that time. But there were plenty of tables open, both inside and out.
THE COST: Very affordable, about 15€ for 4 pastries, a focaccia, and two coffees.
THE FOOD:
* Cappuccino, Espresso - 4.5 stars
Rich and foamy, great texture and flavor. Comes with a ginger snap biscuit.
* Focaccia (2,20€) - 4 stars
Nicely done, fluffy and soft. You buy it cold and can microwave it yourself. I wish they could toast it for you but this seems pretty standard in France.
* Almond Croissant - 3.5 stars
Tastes better than it looks, though could use more flakiness and be a little more most. Has a small bit of filling too.
* Tourte De Blettes (2,50€) - 4 stars
Surprisingly good tart with apple and spinach filling. Very dense and moist. Almost a little too sweet!
* Muffin lemon (2,40€) - 4 stars
Very moist, very intense lemon filling. Also nutella and chocolate options.
* Fiadone (2,40€) - 5 stars
From Corsica. Like a delicious egg custard tart in cake form. Very dense and moist. read more
