Ottimo gelato!

Finalmente una buona selezione di gusti vegani di gelato golosi, oltre ai sorbetti di frutta! Lo staff è sempre gentile e sorridente.

Delicious

Very friendly owner, making us try all the flavours, you could see he was super proud of his gelato, so cute. It tasted delicious and the bonus part is that he had vegan gelato in different flavours other than just sorbet: hazelnut, pistachio, coffee and more. All made with rice milk. And some rare sorbet options like lychee too. Very tasty and the cone is vegan!

Delicious sorbets and vegan ice cream, super friendly owner

I’ve tried the usual famous ice cream places in Nice and I can honestly say that in my opinion this one is definitely the best, a hidden gem! Less touristic than Fenoccio, and they take card payments contrary to Azzuro. The owner was super nice and made me tried several flavors! You must try their hazelnut vegan ice cream, it’s absolutely delicious.

Super cordialità

Il proprietario appena saputo che siamo vegani ha tenuto a farci provare i diversi gusti disponibili. Per nulla scontati, uno dei pochi gelatai che ha gusti vegani originali e non solo alla frutta. Gelato buono e di qualità.

Pros: Molto cordiale, Gelato buono, Gusti originali

Golden Bols

As I searched desperately around the maze that is the old town for my intended destination, I happened upon this place and thought it would be rude not to give it a try; especially given the fact that the person serving me couldn’t have been more helpful about available options, and generous with the tasters.
Having sampled many, I landed on a combination of almond with hazelnut and chocolate with matcha. The latter two worked really well together, the subtle creaminess of the match off-set the deep, rich chocolate perfectly. However, the former combination was an absolute riot of nutty goodness and they were both both equally my favourite of the plentiful offerings. Also, the cones are vegan too, a fact that I overlooked when placing my order. In summary, exceeding good and definitely worth hunting out.

Hazelnut gelato is to die for

Holy grail of vegan gelato in Nice! Sooooo many options — not just fruit, hallelujah — but let me tell you. The fruit options ACTUALLY SLAP. The owner is such a gem and let us try literally all the vegan flavors (there were like 12) and we were stunned by the mango and passion fruit. Ended up getting the chocolate (life changing), hazelnut, and mango — and they’re so good combined!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Friendly service and delicious ice creams!

The owner is extraordinarily nice and let us try from the wide selection of vegan sorbets and ice creams made with rice milk. The cones are all vegan too!

You can choose from a range of styles such as milkshakes, tubs, pots, and cones (vegan!).

The flavours include common sorbets such as strawberry and lemon, as well as ice creams with almonds and hazelnuts which were brilliantly creamy.

The owner was lovely and happy to speak in french and English.

Highly recommend!

Pros: Friendly, welcoming service with lots of vegan kno, Lets you try the flavours beforehand, Tasty!

Go for the Noisette!

I had the Pêche blanche and Noisette. The Noisette was really good but the Pêche blanche was meh. Unfortunately there were no vegan ice cream cones.

Super yummy vegan ice cream

There are lots of ice cream places in Nice with a great selection of vegan sorbets, but this place has actual vegan ice cream! There were two different flavors available: almond and hazelnut. We tried both and loved them! Don’t be alarmed by the fact that they’re advertised as sugar free, they’re super sweet and delicious.

I only wish they had a bigger selection of vegan options!

Awesome big vegan selection

Many vegan ice options: as well as a wide range of fruit sorbets there were three rice milk ice creams when we went including chocolate and hazelnut (noisette). Warning: the cones contain milk so get a cup if vegan.

Pros: Wide variety, Rice milk ice creams, Really delicious

Cons: Milk in cones

Excellent sorbet and ice cream

Will 100% recommend this place.

The whole left section is vegan. Mostly delicious sorbets but also a few options made on rice milk. The hazelnut is so good and creamy.

The guy working there is also very sweet and lets you taste the ice cream before choosing.

There is not a huge difference between how much gelato you get in the small cup and the bigger cups, so I will advise you to get the small cup with 2 scoops (3€)

Nouveau propriétaire et nouveaux parfums

Très bon ! Plusieurs options véganes, certains faits avec le lait de riz, et le nouveau propriétaire sympathique est très ouvert au concept et essaye d’élargir le choix.

Trop bon !

Plusieurs choix de sorbets vegans, je conseille la noisette (sans sucre ajouté) et la mangue vraiment délicieuse. Le prix est un peu élevé mais le goût vaut le coup.

Cons: Le prix

Best in the area

This is a must if you’re vegan and in Nice. I haven’t seen anywhere else that does dairy free gelato. Theirs was made with rice milk and it was so delicious. It’s also a local spot versus going to a chain and just getting sorbet. 10/10

Meh

Four flavours of ice cream (almond, matcha, hazelnut and chocolate) and the others vegan flavours are sorbets. I find that place quite pricey (which was already mentioned in the other reviews) and Ice cream melts really-really fast, however it’s not even summertime yet

Many vegan options

The hazelnut ice cream with rice milk was really good, they also had some other flavours wich seemed interesting, like matcha, almond and many fruit flavours. Flavours that contain dairy are labelled. Most flvours cost €2.50 per scoop, the ones without added sugars cost €3.

Good but pricey

A whole chest of vegan varieties looked promising. Passion fruit and almond were very tasty. Also, the first time I've seen rice milk as a base (for the non-sorbets).

They don't label the vegan range directly, but you can find out via the allergen list ("lait" = cow's milk).

The price of 5€ for 2 (tiny) scoops is a bit high though.

Pros: Many vegan options

Cons: Rather expensive

Nice Ice in Nice…

… but uh, too damn pricey with 6€ for two tiny(!) vegan scoops (rice milk based ice cream is extra as well, they had three to choose, as well as sorbets).
Hard, as I had a great and huge(!) almond and pistachio icecream for 2€ less two days before in Italy. But well, I’m in Nice, I guess…

Pros: One of the less in Nice serving vegan milk based, yummy

Cons: Overpriced , Only three gelato-flavors

Tasty but just a few ice creams

Mostly sorbets that are vegan (which you can get anywhere) but had a couple of ice creams as well. Chocolate sorbet and hazelnut ice cream were lovely.

Amazing selection

Half of the products are either sorberts or vegan ice cream. The hazelnut rice ice cream and the kalamansi sorberts are 2 of my favourite. Everything is homemade and with seasonal fruits. The service is top.

Pros: Vegan choice, Homemade, Service is top

Cons: Missing a terrace
