Frei is a cute coffee shop just off the beaten path in Nice. That said, it’s still on a corner that gets some good foot traffic, as there are restaurants and cafes every where you turn. We happened to stumble on this place when we decided to steer away from the shopping hot-spots and ventured down a few blocks.

The ambiance of Frei is fun, tropical, and chill. The chairs are a mix of wicker and fabric and the paintings are psychedelic colors of animals or statues. There are also banana plants and other tropical plants around, so it takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the Nice street-life.

Plus, there is a giant giraffe when you walk in, definitely grab a photo with it for a memory!

The draw of Frei is that they have coffee, tea, (and afternoon drinks) from all over the world. Whether its beans from south America or Ethiopia, they have you covered. Mixed with the cute atmosphere and fun staff, its a great find. Also, if you’re in the need for a restroom after drinking all the coffee they have one too 😉

The menu is huge, so be prepared to take it all in – or just order a few things! I went with the standard americano and I ended up ordering another one (it was tasty)! They also have salads and pastries, if you’re looking for a light / quick snack.

Overall, if you’re looking for a nice cafe in Nice, you can’t go wrong with this place.
