Twelve cafes in Cannes, and we'll be honest about what holds them together: addresses we can verify, and our own opinions about how to use them. Three of the twelve sit on Rue Hoche, at numbers 3, 26 and 32, and two share the door number 18 on Rue Bivouac Napoléon. The category is loose on purpose: alongside the coffee shops you will find a bubble tea counter, two ice cream addresses and a tea address. Confirmed opening hours exist for only three, one opening at 07:30, one at 09:00 and one at 10:00, and where the facts run out we say so instead of filling the gap with atmosphere. This list is for the visitor who would sooner have a correct address and a plain opinion than a paragraph of adjectives. Call ahead where a number is given, and trust your own eyes at the door.

1 AMAMO Café
74 Rue Meynadier, 06400A coffee shop open every day from 09:00 to 17:00
From 09:00 every day of the week, the door at 74 Rue Meynadier opens on AMAMO Café. It is recorded as a coffee shop and nothing more, which we read as a kind of focus. Skip the terrace cafes that sell you a view with a coffee attached; here the coffee is the reason to come. The hours end at 17:00, Monday through Sunday, so this is a morning or early-afternoon stop and not somewhere to linger into the evening. The postal code is 06400, and there is a phone line, +33 7 75 78 78 88, if you want to check before walking over on a holiday.

2 Columbus Café & Co
3 Rue HocheCoffee from 07:30 Monday to Saturday and 08:00 on Sunday, through to 19:30
At 07:30 from Monday to Saturday, the door at 3 Rue Hoche is already open at Columbus Café & Co. Whatever you think of the name over the door, this address earns its place on hours alone: Sunday starts at 08:00, and every day runs to 19:30, making it the practical answer for an early start, a late-afternoon lull, or a Sunday when you want coffee before the town has organised itself. A coffee shop that is simply open when it says it is has a value the locals understand. The brand's site has a page for this Rue Hoche address, and there is a direct line at +33 4 93 38 50 98. Order, sit, and plan the day from here.

3 Volupté Anytime
32 Rue HocheItalian food, coffee and tea at one address
Number 32 on Rue Hoche belongs to Volupté Anytime, and it covers more ground than a plain coffee shop: Italian food, coffee and tea at one address. That range matters when your table cannot agree on what it wants. Skip the places that do one drink well and treat food as an afterthought; at number 32, the food is part of the pitch. We cannot confirm opening hours, so check the venue's own site before you commit to a late lunch. We'd come for tea in the afternoon and let the Italian side of the menu settle whether you stay.

4 Fleur & Chloé
11 Avenue de LyonA cafe with its own website and a phone line to call ahead
Fleur & Chloé at 11 Avenue de Lyon comes with a phone line, +33986314554, and a website of its own. Use them. We cannot confirm hours or menu details, and we'd sooner say so than guess. Skip the habit of turning up unannounced at a cafe you've made a special trip for; call first, or read the site, and ask what is on that day. What we can vouch for is the address, number 11 on Avenue de Lyon, and the fact that this is a business that keeps its own web presence, which gives you a way to check before you set out.

5 Manaa
19 Rue Jean de RiouffeShort, fixed hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00
Monday is a wasted trip to Manaa at 19 Rue Jean de Riouffe. The doors open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00, and that is the whole week. We like a cafe that keeps short hours and sticks to them: it suggests somebody is behind the counter who wants to be there. The locals know to plan around a Sunday and Monday closure and not to complain about it. A 10:00 start rules this out for the first coffee of the day, so treat it as a late-morning or mid-afternoon stop. Nothing more about the menu is confirmed, so go curious and ask what they are proudest of.
Hours: Tu-Sa 10:00-18:00

6 Motiko
12 Rue Maréchal JoffreBubble tea
Bubble tea is the whole brief at Motiko, 12 Rue Maréchal Joffre, which makes it the outlier on a list that leans toward coffee, and we include it on purpose. Not worth the detour if you want a quiet hour with a newspaper; this is a drink you order, carry, and finish on the move. For anyone travelling with teenagers, or anyone who has had enough coffee by mid-afternoon, number 12 is the useful address to keep. We cannot confirm opening hours, so we would not build a morning around it. Go in the afternoon, and have a second plan ready.

7 Vilefeu
18 Rue Bivouac NapoléonIce cream
An afternoon here drifts toward ice cream sooner or later, and Vilefeu at 18 Rue Bivouac Napoléon is where we'd send you. Ice cream is the one thing confirmed about what it sells, and we are not going to invent flavours to fill the space. Skip the cone you buy without thinking from whichever kiosk is nearest; walk to number 18 and choose on purpose. Hours are unconfirmed, so a warm afternoon is a safer bet than a late evening. Ask what was made that day, take the smaller size, and judge the place on a plain flavour before you trust it with anything elaborate.

8 Gelateria Torino
4 Avenue de GrasseIce cream
The name promises Italy, and ice cream is what it sells at Gelateria Torino, 4 Avenue de Grasse. Beyond that we can confirm very little, and we would rather be brief than decorative. Better than the soft-serve machines aimed at passing foot traffic is any shop that puts gelateria in its name and has to live up to it. Number 4 is the address to save. Hours are not confirmed, so do not plan a late dessert around it without checking in person earlier in the day. Our test is always the same: one nut flavour, one fruit, and no toppings to hide behind.
- ice cream

9 Charlotte Busset
26 Rue HocheTea
Rue Hoche gives number 26 to Charlotte Busset, and the single thing confirmed about what is served there is tea. That is a narrower promise than a coffee shop makes, and we like it for that reason. The locals prefer a place that picks one thing; in our experience a tea address rewards the hour you give it more than a counter you pass through. We cannot confirm hours, prices or a menu, so treat number 26 as an afternoon stop and look in before you commit. If tea is the point of your day and not an afterthought to it, this is the door on this list we would try first.

10 Café Nostra
2 Rue Henri GermainCoffee
The address is short enough to memorise: 2 Rue Henri Germain, where Café Nostra trades as a coffee shop. That is all we will claim as fact. If a coffee is what you came out for, skip the long-menu cafes that sell everything from crêpes to cocktails; a place described by one word has at least decided what it is. Hours are not confirmed, and we would not send you to number 2 at dawn or after dinner on trust. Go mid-morning, order something simple, and pay attention. You will know within a cup whether to come back tomorrow.

11 Caffè Agnelli
6 Rue d'AntibesA Rue d'Antibes address to test for yourself
Little is published about Caffè Agnelli beyond its door at 6 Rue d'Antibes, and we'd rather tell you that than dress it up. The spelling of caffè hints at Italy, but no menu, hours, or specialities are confirmed, so take the name as a hint and not a guarantee. Avoid the reflex of trusting a list that describes every cafe in the same confident detail; some addresses you simply have to test yourself. Number 6 is the address to note, so walk past, look at what people are drinking, and decide at the door. If the espresso is good, you have found your regular stop.

12 So Benedict
18 Rue Bivouac Napoléon, Cannes, 06400A confirmed 06400 address on Rue Bivouac Napoléon; ask about the menu at the door
The postal code 06400 and the door number 18 are what we can vouch for at So Benedict, on Rue Bivouac Napoléon. The name sets an expectation about what arrives on the plate, and no confirmed menu backs it up, so ask before you sit. Hours are unconfirmed too. Skip the assumption that a cafe at the bottom of a list is an afterthought; this one is here because an address with a clear idea in its name deserves a look. Check in person on your first day in Cannes, and if the door at number 18 is open and the room is busy, stay and order.
