Chez Maître Pierre

This bakery is fantastic for breakfast, a light lunch or anytime you want to take a break and have a snack and coffee. We had brunch here and ended up ordering so much food because everything looked amazing. Bf had a sandwich while I had a quiche and we shared several sweet pastries. The fig tartlet was my favorite!

OMG the almond croissants… Honestly, they should be regulated. After we had them one day, we were like crack addicts seeking them out for the next several days, and faced crushing disappointment on a couple of occasions when the bakery was closed or sold out. Just go there and get one, and get more than one if you can — they have enough sugar to keep for an extra day. There is nothing much else worth eating here, so don’t settle for less. Go early, period, or you’ll only have yourself to blame.

Great spot for a quick morning coffee and bite. Quiches, croissants, sandwiches, baguettes, salads. Coffee is superb too. Ten tables or so for sitting right outside.

I came too late on a Saturday morning to be able to try the almond croissant I keep hearing about. Sold out by 11:30 or so.
But nonetheless I got a plain croissant & it was flaky, soft, buttery, and very good. Also had a small quiche & then a berry crumble: both were tasty but they didn’t heat them up enough. Totally a 5 star if they were just warmer. Also the staff seemed a little impatient with my questions & lack of French fluency but that is a normal feeling between the American tourist-​French local.
Tons of fresh baguettes lined the walls of the shop & regular customers running in & out for their daily order. I even came back for some afternoon sandwiches, believe it was a tuna sandwich on a round roll & then a caprese sandwich… both were excellent & the bread was French perfection with a crunchy exterior, soft interior. Definitely coming back here, and earlier, for that almond croissant!

This is an excellent bakery near the shore and Le Meridién hotel. France has made me a bit of croissant snob and l really liked the croissants here. The service is good, and their bread is good quality. The place is a bit small. There’s only outdoor seating, but there are heating thingies and overhead cover to protect from the rain.

One of the best croissants I had in France. Even my friend who didn’t like croissants wanted to come back here for a second one!

I went back here 3 mornings in a row for the almond croissant, they are that amazing and delicious! I also ordered a pain chocolat and cappuccino, which were good too, but still nothing compares to the almond croissant.
Like the food, the coffee drinks are available to go (for «take away») as well.

Cute little bakery with very sweet polite staff. They have variety of French pastry and coffee. It was a rainy day so I really enjoyed the ambiance coming from Los Angeles drought!

Best almond croissant ever!!! I trooped it across town on a rainy Sunday morning only to find out the café was closed. I am so glad I tried again later in the week, the café is cute and quaint and filled with delicious pastries. Her almond croissant was my favorite. It was soft and flaky and filled with delicious, sweet almond paste. She has tons of lunch options as well like sandwiches, quinoa salads and focaccia pizzas. I would highly recommend this café.

We walked this street often because it’s a main pedestrian thoroughfare. I was cruising Unilocal looking for breakfast spots and this one had great reviews. This was our last breakfast in Nice and it was lovely and quaint. There was a nice British woman behind the counter although I didn’t know it and assumed she was french so I pointed at the chocolate baked croissant (which had small pieces of baked apple. Sounds weird but worked behind the case. In perfect English, she asked if I wanted the chocolate one. My husband got the cream beignet. To drink, we got cappuccinos.
Service with a smile and casual conversation with the woman made our morning.
The salads look delish… Would have tried one if we had been the lunch hr.

Amazing hole the wall restaurant. I don’t think you could order anything bad here. We had a ham quiche and espresso. Going back before we leave Nice.

Good bakery off Rue Messena. Easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled. Right near the Amorino gelaterie. Had a wonderful breakfast there with two café au laits and a couple of pastries. The almond croissant was life-​changing. In the usual sweet nut-​butter, crispy almond, dripping with butter fashion, this beautiful pastry made us both pause for reflection. The plain croissant was on the lackluster side, but my disappointment was trumped by the almond croissant. Service was friendly. Order at the counter and they will bring it to you outside to sit al fresco. Don’t take too long ordering — there’s a brisk and mildly aggressive crew of regulars waiting to get their bread. A sign that this place is surely doing something right!

So good… We went for seconds. How very American of us! Great café au laity, croissants and some sort of chocolate pastry. Friendly service– I ordered first round in French– my friend did 2nds in English – we were treated with great kindness. Go for your morning wake-​up!

The Napoleons and palmiers are both to die for. Exquisite!
Unilocal wants more words. Not sure what else to say as it has pastries and they’re perfect.

The croissants at chez Maitre Pierre are unforgettable. One of the best things I have ever ate. I am pretty sure there are other establishments that can make similar baked, fluffy, crunchy butteriness — but I have not had another one yet. All I know is, three of these and a cup of café au lait in the morning and my world may brighten by a few shades.

Le meilleur petit déjeuner de la rue, accueil souriant et efficace. Table colorée pour mettre la pêche.
