Chez les Garcons is a vintage coffee shop opened by Fabien and Sam, on Rue Niepce, in the Notre-Dame district. The place has no equal in Nice: you drink, you eat and you play. On the tables and shelves, dozens of board games and a host of retro objects from the 1970s and 80s.
The menu aims to be healthy and homemade: bagels, poke bowls, waffles, salads, toasts, pastries, detox juices and smoothies. The decor, between Minitel, vinyls and cassettes, recalls family Sunday afternoons. Jerry, the house dog, completes the picture.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, with a sought-after Sunday brunch, by reservation. Several addresses in Nice (Rue Niepce, Rue Segurane, La Fabrik). A small grocery corner of local products.
Highlights: The vintage concept and the board games make the place original, praised for its cosy, family mood. The homemade, healthy cooking and the welcome from Fab and Sam come up in favourable feedback. A one-of-a-kind address, enjoyed with family.
Areas for improvement: Service divides opinion across visits, with a few negative notes on welcome and cooking. Footfall, especially at weekends, can lengthen the wait.
Overall impression: A coffee shop unique in Nice for its decor and games, endearing and family-friendly, with service that varies by the day.
