Best cafes to work from Nice — France

ok, I’m a cafe lover! I love the taste, the drink, tha atmosphere, people walking by, reading or working from a cafe. So let’s digg into my favorite ones after 3 weeks in Nice , French Riviera.

Cafe Fino

39 Rue Gioffredo, 06000 Nice

This place is great, inside you have air con — if you have been to Nice during summer, you know it’s really important — great food menu, juices and good coffee.

It’s not the chepest one, but the tables and chairs are comfortable, they have outlets and good wi-fi.

La Popote

2 Rue Blacas, 06000 Nice

Another amazing place to work from is La Popote Cafe, good wi-fi, good coffe, good food options — and cheaper then Cafe Fino.

The people who works here are super friendly, I really like it here.

Cafe Frei

52 Rue de France, 06000 Nice

To be fair I didn’t have the best experience there, but….They were having a hard day, so ok. Good wifi, good tables, good croissant, coffee was ok, but good price, and it’s a big place, so you don’t feel trapped, speccialy if you seat by the windows.

I would say 7/10.

You should deffenily try it — and prove that the day I went there was just a rough day for them lol.

Brume Coffe

34 Rue Pairolière, 06300 Nice

This one it is a problem for me, because I really liked, great coffe, great food, great Wi-Fi, no outlets, great staff….but…it’s really small, so it can be tricky to get a table or even to stay longer, because people gonna “hate” you. It’s more like a social cafe. But I would definitely recommend.

Foam Cafe & Coworking

1 Pl. du Pin, 06300 Nice

So this cafe was good, great space, good Wi-Fi, good price, the coffee was ok, but was quiet, you have the option of paying for the coworking space or just hang out by the cafe / bar.

For me was a good cost x benefit, and the staff was super nice.

Café du Cycliste

16 Quai des Docks, 06300 Nice

To be fair I was not expecting much. The cafe is inside of a cycling store, but the place is cool, the staff is cool, the wifi is ok — mybe not for calls or meetings — I saw just one outlet, and they don’t have food, just coffee. But… they do have air con and it’s chill and quiet. And again: the staff is super nice.

Café — Librairie Les Parleuses

18 rue Defly, 5 Pl. du Général Georges Marshall, 06000 Nice

So this one almost didn’t cut the list. the Wi-Fi is ok, the coffee is ok, but you seat outside, so if that’s a problem for you, maybe that’s not your spot.

When I say “outside” I don’t mean like a cool tarraza, I mean in the sidewalk. Was ok for me for 1 hour that I just needed to respond some e-mails.

Extras:

This 3 extras are not great for work, I believe you can, but they are more social / brunch places.

Garden Cafe

37 Bd Gambetta, 06000 Nice

Great brunch place, usually have a queue, but it’s ok. Amazing food and good prices — for a brunch in Nice. Great for insta pics also.

Edmond Cafe

11 bis Rue du Congrès, 06000 Nice

Good brunch place, more tropical food, usually have a queue, but it’s “fast”. Really good food, a little more pricey, but normal for Nice. Great for insta pics also.

Nuances pâtisserie

20 Rue François Guisol, 06300 Nice

This one is a small coffee shop with amazing deserts and pastry, and amazing staff. I felt so good there and the coffee and sweets were so good also, that I don’t even know if they have wifi. I was just enjoying. Also, their ice-cream is great, and you can have it to walk in the port on the sunset — just an idea.
