Giving props to Pierre Herme as they make the best macarons that I have ever tried. Sadly, this…read morelocation at Galeries Lafayette has closed. A victim of the pandemic. Fortunately, Pierre Herme still sells their macarons at Nice Airport. Though I am skeptical about buying macarons at the airport, after buying a bad batch of macarons (not from Pierre Herme) once before a flight. Not sure if it was because I bought them later in the day or because flying does something to the quality. I would recommend eating them sooner than later, in any case.

I needed to add this review because google maps doesn't recognize that this place exists!! Only…read morefound this through one lone trusty yelp review but YES this is located in the mall of Galeries Lafayette near the entrance and close to longchamp. Similar to my previous review of its Paris counterparts definitely try these: +orange blossom - has that slight flowery scent and filled with some citrusy light cream ++jasmine - omg. If you like jasmine tea this is delicious and tastes like they captured jasmine into this delicious shimmery macaron ++hazelnut praline - it tastes like NUTELLA so good ++rose and rose litchi (lychee)- it tastes like I'm actually eating a soft crumbly melt in your mouth flower, deliciouS

The two associates were so helpful explains the types of spices and salts. We loved the flavors of the salts. Selected several to take home. Secondly was the choice of jams. We waited until our return home to break the seals on all three and sampled. Wonderful homemade freshness. The pepper grinders, flavored vinegar and spices all looked inviting. I recommend that you step in and sample some of the product and plan what you will take home. We ended up stopping by three times to visit. Perfect discovery.

So happy to see this old time chocolate store. The smell of chocolate draws you in as soon as you…read moreopen the door! The store is charming with so much original detail- stained glass, carved wood cabinets, tile floors and chandeliers. It was like stepping back in time! The chocolate is beautifully displayed. There are lots of options! They also have prepackaged gelato. We had the dark chocolate and mango. The mango was refreshing. It was a little sweet with lots of mango flavor. The chocolate was decadent. It was rich and very chocolaty. The staff were very nice. They greeted us as soon as we walked in and answered our questions.

Yelp Review 2026 #206:…read more Maison Auer is a historic place located across from Nice Opera House. It opened its doors in 1820 and is Nice's oldest confiserie. It's a fifth-generation family business which started with Henri Auer who was Swiss. So, he knows a thing or two about making good chocolate. The shop is beautiful. Florentine-style interior with stained glass, chandeliers, big wooden cabinets with marble on top. Here you can get fruit jellies, chocolates, macarons, caramels, candied nuts, fruit pates, marshmallows, and ice cream. I got myself some chocolates. Their card machine is slow so, be patient.

We were walking back to our apartment and stumbled upon this tiny patisserie that tempted us with a…read moregreat view of their pastries from the window. We actually went 3x during our 4 day visit. :)) Yes, they are a bit pricey, but so delicious. For the most part. The Cheesecake was yummy. The Perla was fantasticly decadent. The Pistachio Macarons were to die for, I can honestly say that I prefer them over Lauderee. My only disappointment was the Mille Feuille. While there are several different versions of the this pastry, I like the light, multiple thin flaky layers filled with delicious pastry cream. Lac's version was just meh. Just two layers thick layers, the pastry was darker than I like, and the cream was just ok. But overall, I was very pleased. Especially with those macarons!

Forget about Pierre Hermé in Paris - that stuff is not worth the hype and price. Walking into Lacroix is like walking back in time - you can smell all the tradition this place has held.

The caramel was our favorite and the close second was the yogurt with berry! We are regretting not getting a larger pack. Also, many of their dessert items label their ingredients, so for people like me who can't have gluten, it was great to see what I could order... though I only got the macarons. However, be prepared to be drooling when you go in. Next time I'll definitely want to try their chocolates and their fancy desserts!

I had the noir cake. A dark chocolate ganache with mousse layers and base cake layer. It was what…read moreI expect from a chocolatier shop. Small but every bite satisfying. My only critique is the base layer was a tad dry. I bought some chocolates at about a euro plus a candy. Maybe, keep the kiddies away from this shop. Wonderful service with a pleasant clean vibe.

This was the first stop on our mid-August chocolate rampage through Nice. (Actually, it was our…read morethird stop, but the first two places had notes taped to the door - "Closed for vacation. Be back when we feel like it!" Viva la France!!!) I think Jeff de Bruges is a chain, and in fact, it seems they have several locations in Nice alone, but this is the one WE found. Compared to some other chocolateries we have visited, the display case was a bit small and the selection was not as overwhelming as some others, but I just tasted a sample of our bounty from there (a milk chocolate with caramel filling - which literally just poured out into my mouth when I took a bite. WOW!) and I think we will be pleased with the goodies we bought there. Later in our meanderings, we saw a local with a Jeff de Bruges bag. We took that as a good sign. As I work through the reviews in this leg of our "confection research," I suspect I will make several references to my crashing through these interactions with my broken French. In this case, the woman behind the counter was very sweet and helpful. I think she had excellent English, but she seemed to realize I was trying to practice my French and stayed in the game. Of all the chocolate shops we visited that day, she took the prize as friendliest chocolatier of the day. (Though a lovely older man in a subsequent review gave her a good run for that title!) They also have chocolate bar/tablets, if you just want to get the goods and run! You have options here. We like that.
