Coffee shops and tea rooms Alpes-Maritimes

Imagine an unusual setting where you can hunt for objects while enjoying a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake. This cabinet of curiosities exists. Housed in a former bakery, it welcomes you for moments of conviviality and sharing. Passionate people and long-time friends meet there to hunt, relax and tinker together. Yes, tinkering. Accompanied by your hosts, you will bring back to life lightings, old dishes, vintage radios and other objects of yesteryear that tell a story... An atypical place as we like !

An old carterie transformed into a delightful tea room, creperie and bakery at a time. A decor that refers to the world of cinema in tribute to the great actors who stayed in Saint Paul. The establishment was taken over 2 years ago by two managers who kept the same formula. In the morning, we stop to buy bread and drink coffee. At noon, you can enjoy a beautiful salad, a dish of the day, a salty pie or a pancake. In the afternoon, tea time with a "Dammann Frères" teas (30 varieties for tasting and for sale). Whatever the time of the day, a small gourmet break is always very pleasant.

Here's a hidden address, as smart as we like them. The owner, a local beverage wholesaler, recently opened this small café in the heart of old Antibes. In a cosy atmosphere, he will introduce you, with a smile, to a wide selection of coffees and teas from all over the world, to enjoy on the spot or to take away. Lovers of artist-brewed beers can also unearth some pretty artisanal finds, and whisky enthusiasts will find wonders from all over the world. A microbrewery is also located here.

You like cats ? La Ronronnerie is made for you! In this cat bar, you can enjoy coffee, bagels or cheesecakes while petting these little creatures. This store also gives the opportunity to the abandoned purrs to find a new home. Here, everything is made for their pleasure: high boards, stairs... Don't worry, the kitchen is strictly forbidden to cats and a system of pass-throughs protected by a glass roof has been set up, while in the basement there are several self-cleaning litter boxes. It's all clean!

Opposite the Bonnard museum, this charming tea and chocolate shop caters for both sweet and savoury cravings. On the terrace or in the cosy interior room (beige and chocolate-coloured benches), you come here to taste all sorts of delicacies: pastries and sweets (macaroons, pastries...) accompanied by a homemade hot chocolate or a grand cru tea (the choice is vast) for breakfast or a snack, pies, pastas or mixed salads for lunch. You can also let yourself be tempted by the chocolate shop window.

A pastry chef for nearly 20 years in prestigious'palaces, after a first boutique opened in Beaulieu in 2007, Patrick Mesiano opened his first franchisee address in Antibes in November 2010. It combines the sale of fine pastries to take and the wine tasting on the terrace or in the elegant and contemporary decor of the tea lounge. Worked from fresh and seasonal products, 15 pastries are designed every day by Patrick Mesiano and his team, which are either in champagne version or mini-verrines. Sweet macaroons offer fragrances and are available in salted version for the apéritive break: foie gras 4 spices, goat-goat cheese, eggplant caviar, guacamole-paprika. Custom-made macaroons trees, homemade chocolate shelves and the Yuzu chocolate candy (Japanese citrus Fruit) are also part of the specialties of this gourmet address, with three formulas for breakfast, a choice of sandwiches, salted pies and lunch formulas with a choice of champagne and wine.

This beautiful coffee shop is the trendy new spot for students in Vence! Leaning back in an armchair with friends, or seated at a table with a hot chocolate, people come here for comfort at any time of day. At lunchtime, you can enjoy a quick snack (bagel, club sandwich), 100% fresh and seasonal. Then it's on to hot and cold snacks, with a choice of hot chocolate, cappuccino, cookie or banana cake, or a frappé, milkshake or muffin... We love the atmosphere and the gourmet delights: discover them now!

This café-restaurant, opened in 2013, has become a must for cycling enthusiasts, but also for fans of good food and conviviality. The cuisine is inventive and gourmet with a menu that changes often (fish tartars, colorful salads, burgers, risottos, veggie dishes, homemade desserts). Its decoration is inspired by the world of cycling with a terrace overlooking the canoeists and a cosy room. The site also offers a bike repair workshop, as well as a store selling clothes and accessories for cyclists.

This charming, modern and bright address has a friendly atmosphere and is a tea room, bar and cultural café. For lunch and dinner, it is possible to eat original dishes. But what really seduced us was the diversity of activities: cultural events, concerts, afterworks and exhibitions. The calendar is punctuated by theme evenings that will delight everyone. Chez Pauline is the ideal place to meet new people and to party without any headaches.

Lilian Bonnefoi is a pastry chef who has set up shop like an artist creating a creative universe. His bright store is located in a quiet area of old Antibes, and welcomes gourmands for a tasty experience. In the windows: chocolates, cakes, macaroons, sweets and other specialties. You can enjoy them inside or on the sunny terrace. Accompanied by a tea, a coffee or a squeezed juice, you will inevitably succumb. The Sunday brunch is simply unmissable. A beautiful address.

If the name refers directly to La ^36ème chambre de Shaolin, it's all about sweetness and voluptuousness. Cédric and Nouaja are both passionate about Japanese and Korean culture, and decided to import a few flavors from Asia. From breakfast to lunch and afternoon tea, the place is friendly and Nouaja is particularly welcoming. We love the Shaolin Brunch or their delicious bibimbap, not forgetting the fluffy Korean pancakes. For those in a hurry, onigris and "Sando" are available to take away.

Camille has taken pastry to a whole new level with a 100% plant-based and 100% gluten-free offering. No milk, no eggs and no animal products are served here. The challenge is met thanks to a perfect balance of flavors, but also thanks to visuals that make your mouth water as soon as you walk through the door. A lunchtime menu is available every day, not forgetting snack time. Orders can also be placed for private events.

It's a cocoon where softness and charm come together harmoniously. Run by the passionate duo Lydia and Huynh, this new concept store delights the senses from the moment you cross the threshold. Inspired by the magic of the enchanting city of Grasse, the Parisian couple chose to establish their fragrance oasis here. They've created a place where niche perfumes and handcrafted jewelry can be discovered over alcohol-free cocktails, coffee and flower-flavored teas, naturally! An address where savoir-faire, gourmandise and creativity come together.
