 +===== Coffee in Nice =====
 +
 +Nice has developed one of the most vibrant specialty coffee scenes on the French Riviera. Once dominated by the traditional Italian-style espresso that crossed the border with //Piedmontese settlers// — strong, short, and taken standing at a zinc counter — the city now hosts a constellation of third-wave coffee shops run by passionate baristas who source single-origin beans, roast in-house, and pour with genuine craft. For more, see our [[Guide to Coffee in Nice]].
