Passion glaces antibes

Location: Antibes, France

“Sweet treat time! Something I love about visiting towns in the South of France is all the small dessert shops along the street. This place in Antibes had a variety of gelato flavors, but I went with the classic mango. The gelato here is probably some of the best I’ve ever had.”

Pain et Patisserie: Sucre et Déli

Location: Menton, France

“They had an allergen menu! While it does say some things are nut-free, I just personally was not comfortable eating the pastries. The staff assured me that the bread was fine, and it was delicious! It was warmed up too!”

Gelateria Sofia

Location: Menton, France

“Great gelato options! I had the lemon gelato. The staff was super helpful and told me that I was perfectly fine!”

Pain Brut

Location: Montpellier, France

“Vegan menu items are clearly labeled.”

Fenocchio

Fenocchio

Location: Nice, France

“I walked past this ice cream place a few times and couldn’t help but notice: wow, I have never seen so many sorbet options at an ice cream shop before! I was so excited to see the positive review here on Spokin as well. I showed the staff my French Equal Eats card, and they confirmed the sorbet would be ok for me. I asked them to use a clean scoop, and they were happy to do so. Most of the sorbets were next to each other, which was great.”

Gelato D'Amore Nice

Gelato D’Amore Nice

Location: Nice, France

“Great place for an allergy-friendly gelato, sensitive and alert staff and owner who takes care to give you time to decide and take care of your allergy.”

@arunsiyer, who manages celiac and peanut, tree nut, sesame, and chickpea allergies



Boulangerie Jeannot

Location: Nice, France

“They said the pain au chocolate and the baguette were fine! They did have almond croissants and pistachio cannolis in other cases, but I felt assured by the staff that I was safe! The staff does speak some English as well.”

@juleseats, who manages a tree nut allergy



Gelateria Azzurro

Location: Nice, France

“The staff here is so friendly and willing to accommodate allergies! However, keep in mind that in most French ice cream shops, the “M&M” flavor has peanuts because the common slang for peanut M&Ms there is just M&M. Besides that, no complaints!”

@awissink, who manages peanut, sesame, shellfish, and fruit allergies



Amorino Gelato – Nice place Masséna

Location: Nice, France

“Came here after I went to the Amorino Gelato location in Italy! The gelato is so amazing, and they have a dedicated allergen scoop kit! They also have an allergen chart.”

@natchick, who manages a peanut allergy


La Maison De Celine Pâtisserie

La Maison De Celine Pâtisserie

Location: Nice, France

“Obsessed with how cute this cafe was. The line got LONG, so I would definitely come early if possible. We stopped on our way to the beach, and while it wasn’t the best croissant I’ve had, the presentation was incredible. She told me, of course, cross-contamination is possible, and they do have pistachio croissants, but I felt okay eating here.”

@gracekennard, who manages peanut, tree nut, and poppy allergies

Angea

Location: Nice, France

“According to other research I did, and someone else who recommended it to me, all the macarons and ice cream sandwiches are gluten-free.”

@glutenfreefinds, who manages celiac



Salon Cacao’T

Location: Toulouse, France

“Many gluten-free pastries!”

@olanahan, who manages celiac



La glacerie toulousaine

Location: Toulouse, France

“So many dairy-free sorbet options. I’m not sure about the cross-contamination risk because everything was mixed together. I got the dark chocolate sorbet with strawberry sauce since they didn’t allow for half scoops of two flavors. I always love a chocolate and fruit combo!”
