Chez les Garçons

Chez les Garçons is a delicious anomaly in Nice's coffee shop landscape. The moment you cross the door of either of its two locations, you are transported to an idealised childhood: an array of board games, vinyl records and comic books line the walls and shelves — all objects found at second-hand markets, giving every corner a unique soul. The venue is described by clients as 'a café where you feel at home from your very first visit'.

But Chez les Garçons is not just a décor — it is an original gustatory experience. The menu offers creative compositions found nowhere else in Nice: house elixirs (plant and spice health drinks), bubble tea, savoury klubs and brioches perdues make it a unique address in its category.

Menu & Specialities

Varied filled bagels, salads, bowls and savoury klubs. Creative brioches perdues. Pancakes and viennoiseries. Signature house elixirs — plant-based compositions with aromatic herbs, ginger, turmeric, lavender. Bubble tea — rare and appreciated offering in Nice. Varied coffees, pressed juices, artisan hot chocolates. Dishes from €8.50 to €19.50 — slightly pricier than neighbours but justified by originality.

Atmosphere

Vintage, offbeat and communal. Chez les Garçons is the venue for creative and curious souls — people read, play, converse here. The clientele is young and international. The two locations (Old Nice and city centre) each have their own character.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: Vintage concept unanimously praised as unique in Nice. House elixirs cited as 'incredible' and unavailable elsewhere. Bubble tea greatly appreciated. Atmosphere rated 'perfect for escape' and 'like a friend's café'. Menu variety praised.

Areas for improvement: Prices slightly above average Nice coffee shop. Wait can be long during weekend peak times. Some clients find portions slightly modest for the price.

Chez les Garçons is Nice's most singular brunch coffee shop — for those who want to eat well while escaping into a creative, warm, timeless universe.
