Less is more for Jackson Fitzgerald, who reopened this small portside café (formerly Canopée) in April 2025. While the previous incarnation already championed specialty coffee, the space has been subtly remixed with mosaic floors, an okoumé wood counter and a handful of casually scattered seats. After stopovers in New York, London and Paris, the New Zealander turned neo-Niçois has stripped things back to the essentials: double espresso, cortado, hand brew or flat white (€2.50 to €12), poured using beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, Kenya or Rwanda, depending on the deliveries from values-driven roasters in Munich (Stray), Amsterdam (Friedhats) and Paris (Datura). The sole detour from caffeine is the matcha latte, spot on with a cookie from Pompon or croissant from Panera. · Nino Roure

THE HIDDEN GEM: An iced hand brew with an Ethiopian Sasaba beans from Stray Coffee Roasters (€7.50).
