I enjoyed my time speaking with him, trying different flavors and the vibes were just great. Pictured here is peanut butter, tiramisu, and another Chocolate flavor, I can't remember the name. The next time I'm in Nice, I'm going straight there.

Upon arrival in Nice on my first-ever visit to the Riviera, I just happened to get off the tram…read moreright near this shop and decided to take a look. Good call! It's nestled into a narrow storefront and features a case with about 20 flavors, which looked to be kept carefully at the best temperature for the gelato to be refreshingly cold yet creamy enough for instant enjoyment. The wonderful man behind the counter was offering tastes to a small girl (she was probably 3 or 4). When she chose her (pink) flavor, Gelato Man gave her the cone for free above protests from her father, arguing that it's her first one and thus on the house. Next it was my turn, and I asked what the house specialty was. Pistache: the king of gelato! came the answer. I'm not sure what that green crap sold in the USA with the label "pistachio" actually is, but now that I have swooned over true pistachio gelato, I can assure any Americans that they probably have never had good pistachio ice cream. The flavor is a nut butter (duh...) - closer to peanut butter than... well, vague green flavor. It's DELICIOUS and you must try it if you enjoy nuts at all. After that, we ran through the flavor parade - salted caramel, white chocolate coconut, some flavors involving speculoos, melon, and I forgot what else. Every single flavor was fantastically fresh and vibrant and apparently created with carefully sourced ingredients. On my second visit, I tasted the watermelon gelato - not my favorite, but by golly it t clearly included actual watermelon and would be terrific on a hot day. He let me put 2 flavors in the one-boule size cup ("it's your gelato, get what you like") so I went for the pistachio and salted caramel. Two days later, I picked rocher (similar to chocolate hazelnut spread) and white chocolate coconut. Haven't decided what to get today yet for my third visit in four days. Yes, it's just that good. Sidenote: I decided to get pistachio at another shop to see if the flavor is just better in Nice, or if this shop makes a particularly good pistache. The competitor (which happened to be in Monaco, where nothing is cheap) used tiny cups with a high floor that enables stingy portions. The server was cordial but merely a scoop slinger evidently trained by a miserly proprietor; she stated and enforced a one-taste-only rule (never mind that it was late and the whole area of town was pretty empty), and leveled the serving across the top (???), so for 3 euros I got something like a half-scoop with a sour attitude. This pistachio was still better than anything I've found in the USA, but was far less flavorful than the one from Gelato d'Amore. Verdict: Gelato d'Amore DOES make a superior pistache! I won't waste calories on mediocre gelato and I saw the lines at some of the institutions in the Old Town, but I am thrilled that I found Gelato d'Amore - a VERY appropriate name, as the gelato here is clearly made and served with love!!

Heaven is a Frenche patisserie!…read more One of the best pastry shops I've ever visited. Great lil spot on the side of the road from Nice heading north. Located near the Intermarche grocery store. The pain au chocolate is incredible- I ate two warm out of the oven. Crispy, buttery, chocolatey everything you could want. My husband said his was the best he ever tasted. We also tried an assortment of mini pastries which were all delicious: lemon merignue tart, chocolate eclair, tiramisu, milk chocolate torte. The star of our visit was the raspberry macaroon, pure perfection. I could eat a thousand of these!

The fruit taste was so forward that I felt like I was biting into delicious ripe black currants with a hint of violet. I only wished I bought a few more different flavors to try. Aside from macarons, the patisserie has a balanced array of pastries, cookies, petit gateaux, bread, some sandwiches and savory items, and chocolates (individual and boxed) to choose from, the store is very organized and items displayed on shelves and in the pastry display cases. No place to sit since this is purely a take away place. They def prefer to use French, at first I used English and the lady at the counter kinda ignored me then I switched to the handful of French words I knew and she helped me. They take cash and card.

I seriously didn't have high expectations since it's located in a high traffic very popular area. Much to my surprise, their patisseries and baguettes were amazing! We stopped by twice and wanted to stop by one more time but ran out of time. The owner is super nice. All the items on display look amazing. We wanted to try everything! The things we did try were: Flan nature: 5/5 this is my all time favorite dessert and this place makes excellent flan. The texture of the flan was nice and smooth and had a rich creamy taste. The crust was lovely too. This is what dreams are made of. I kid you not. Where have you been all my life! This flan sets the bar real high. Tarte au pomme: 5/5 perfect as well, but nothing beats a flan nature. Apples and crust were super fresh. Custard bun: 4/5 kids and hubby liked this but for me I could skip this. Save room for the above. Baguette tradition: 5/5 freshly baked baguettes with a nice crunchy crust. Sooooo good! We went bag to grab a few more. It was perfect to eat with the freshly sliced salami, cheese and olives on the beach. Wow this place really earns its high marks! Don't be fooled into thinking this is a tourist trap. They make legit flan and baguettes. What more can I say.
