No vegan options other than coffee

Went there, lovely coffee but they charge an extra 0.70 cents for plant milks. I never get the plant milk charge. When you are buying coffee the normal milk cost is already included which seems to get completed ignored, and they don’t use 0.70 cents worth of a carton of plant milk either. But anyway, they didn’t had any vegan options for food, only gluten free when we went.

Disappointed

Went here three times and no vegan food options were to be seen. Oat milk hot chocolate is very nice though.

Simple sandwich

We had a small breakfast here with coffee and a vegan prepared sandwich, it was fairly simple, and the taste was okayish. The coffee is good with plant based milk options.

Good food, very expensive

A few different vegan options, I had a hot chocolate and the brownie. Both very tasty (although very sweet, so not for anyone without a good sweet tooth). Came to 10€ for the cake and drink. Good portion sizes but still expensive. Sit inside if you don't like pigeons.

Good

They have vegan brownies (a lot of dark chocolate, I think), cookies (a bit crumbly and taste okay) and a Quiche (which I didn't try). Also vegan coffee. It's a bit expensive but I guess that's normal for this city.

Almond frangipani!

Delicious cake with lovely oat latte! Need to ask what cakes are vegan as was labelled gf but not vegan, tasted exactly like a frangipani! Although they have a weird water drop every few minutes to cool you down so eating outside you’ll get wet!

Pros: Cakeeee

Cons: Water spray (you get wet)

Nice but not vegan

Vegan options were advertised but when we got there at 9h30, they were already sold out... Non-vegan cake was good albeit a bit expensive. Lemonade was good but not cold.

No vegan options to eat for breakfast

There's an advertisement at the front mentioning vegan options but then there was nothing available that day. Not a fair way to attract customers. :(

I had the same experience today. No vegan options for cakes or anything to eat. The cold brew coffee was good.

Perfect spot for breakfast

Best soy cappuccino ever and very good vegan cakes (just one option per day though). We went there two days in a row, unfortunately they didn't have any vegan cakes on the third day

Good vegan options

This place is a little gem in the middle of Nice. It overlooks the cathedral and has a fair amount of seating. They offer soya and oat milk, and had 2 homemade vegan cake options (carrot cake and chocolate banana bread). Super yummy!!

Pros: Vegan milk options, Vegan cakes

Tasty cakes and coffee

There is usually banana and/or carrot cake but these are the only sweet options. Plant milk coffee options and regular vegan sandwich and salad.

Updated from previous review on 2022-03-08

Pros: Some vegan options - good banana bread , Outdoor seating in pleasant location , English spoken and manager is vegan

Cons: Savoury options very basic - salad etc

Skip it if you are looking for breakfast

I went for breakfast and there was nothing vegan offered as food; even though I contacted them in advance and they said they had vegan options.

So don't make the same mistake I did and find breakfast somewhere else.

Cons: not all vegan, nothing vegan for breakfast
