Take Refuge in Emilie's Cookies!
BY Karima Mo FOR FR2DAY.COM Jul 29, 2010
Shopping in Nice, you can easily become fixated with Jean Medecin. It's a wonderful boulevard for one-stop shopping. But it does get claustrophobic, especially around Christmas, and your shopping experience can be ruined by jostling, perspiration, and the sweet smells of 'McDo'.
So if you need time to recover take a detour and head down Rue Alberti. This street is full of designer stores, friendly restaurants and, best of all, it's home to Emilie's Cookies. Just follow your nose. The enticing smell of cookies and hot chocolate will lead you there.
Emilie and Celine are two very warm, friendly young women. They started 'Emilie's Cookies' after completing studies in sociology and business, inspired by the American coffee shops they discovered on visits to the US. They wanted to create a coffee shop in their own image. Friendly, quirky and with some hip musical ambiance (Celine plays in two groups).
The alchemy worked. It's a small space, but it has a library, a tea room, and a sofa where you can read the daily newspaper. The thing that makes Emilie's Cookies so special though is the sight of the girls cooking. They use fresh, quality ingredients to produce cookies, brownies, smoothies, salads, and bagels. I recommend the nutellaccino hot drink (need a draw?!). Emilie's cookies also provide catering services for birthdays and other parties.
AND BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW EMILIE'S COOKIES ON RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE IN VIEUX NICE!
