You can enjoy gourmet, healthy sandwiches made with fresh market products: whether it's a hamburger with merguez meat, an Indian-style grilled cheese on turmeric bread, or a ham baguette with caramelized onions, we guarantee a unique taste experience! We stop at Nigelle's at any time of the day: in the morning for a coffee with a pure butter pastry or a breakfast sandwich on Berber bread, at noon for a sandwich, a fresh salad or a homemade soup... and in the evening to take away a baguette, a cheese or a small dish cooked on the spot. And of course, you can get the famous Berber breads (with dates, fennel, figs, nigella...), as well as a range of other traditional French breads, fresh daily.

In short, Nigelle stands out as a beloved local favorite for friendly service, careful preparation, and a welcoming vibe.
My girlffriend & I stopped to get a coffee & ended up eating a special unique sandwich created by the chef called Ojja & it was amazing. The chef is incredibly nice & very funny. Wish I can start my day everyday by going there first. 6 stars on 5.
C'est le nom qui m'a attirée. C'est si beau les fleurs de nigelle. & mon désir de soleil & de délicate attention a été servie dès que j'ai franchi pour la première fois la porte de ce café. Le sandwich était délicieux & le propriétaire charmant. Un lieu où on prend le temps de faire chaque geste avec soin. Je reviendrai !

Service is tremendous & the owner will almost always try to make you laugh. Friend of mine lives nearby, We go every time I come in the area!
Café très mignon pour le dîner / lunch avec des sandwich, salades & plats tous faits maison, avec beaucoup d'amour. Je prends toujours le menu avec la soupe en hiver. Pour une dizaine de dollars, je suis toujours contente. Ils ont des options végé qui sont très bonnes aussi. Le gérant est adorable, vous accueille avec un grand sourire & a toujours un mot gentil. Service rapide & toujours attentionné. Le genre de café avec une âme & une chaleur qui peut vite devenir un repère 🙂 Ils ont aussi des graines de nigelle & des petites viennoiseries.
