Fred Maître Boulanger is a compact bakery in central Cannes, close to the station and Rue d’Antibes. The range goes beyond bread and viennoiseries. The counter also carries filled sandwiches, wraps, pizza, savoury bakes and coffee.
We visited the Rue Venizelos shop and photographed the storefront, menu and counter. This Fred Boulangerie Cannes review focuses on the range, prices, atmosphere and practical details. Availability can change during the day.

Location and atmosphere
The bakery sits on a corner along Rue Venizelos. It is convenient for the station, central shops and the streets leading towards La Croisette.
The interior is narrow and practical. A long counter presents the bakery range, while the coffee station sits behind it. Black and white floor tiles add a classic touch. A few pavement tables offer an easy place for a quick drink or snack.
This feels more like a busy neighbourhood bakery than a destination café. Ordering is direct, and most choices are visible behind the glass.
What is available
The visit photographs show a broad everyday selection. Croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins, muffins and brioches fill the pastry counter. Savoury choices include sandwiches, wraps, pizza slices, pissaladière and small tarts.
The shop also serves espresso based coffee. This makes it useful for breakfast, a mid morning stop or a simple lunch.

Breakfast and coffee
The photographed menu showed a classic breakfast formula at €3. It included an espresso or long coffee with a croissant or pain au chocolat.
A larger breakfast formula was listed at €11.50. It combined a hot drink, one pastry, half a baguette with butter and jam, plus fresh orange juice.
Individual pastry labels included a croissant at €1.50, pain au chocolat at €1.60 and pain aux raisins at €2.20. Muffins were marked at €3.10. These prices were visible during the visit and may change.
The coffee setup is straightforward. The photographs show a full espresso machine and Cafés Richard cups. It suits a quick coffee rather than a long speciality coffee session.
Lunch options and prices
Fred also works well for a quick lunch. The outdoor menu displayed a lunch formula at €8.20 with a sandwich and a canned drink or bottle of water.
A complete formula was listed at €10.70. It added a pastry to the sandwich and drink. This is a practical option for travellers who want something fast near the station.
Several filled rolls and sandwiches were priced between about €5.90 and €8.20. The photographed counter also showed wraps around €6.20. Pizza and pissaladière slices were marked at €3.70.
Choices can sell through as the day continues. Visit before the main lunch rush for the widest selection. For another quick meal in central Cannes, our China Town Fast Food Cannes review covers a different takeaway option.
Value for money
The simple breakfast formula stands out for value. It pairs a basic coffee with a classic French pastry at a low central Cannes price.
The lunch formulas also make ordering easy. Buying a sandwich, drink and pastry together can be useful when time is limited. Larger filled breads cost more, so compare the cabinet labels before choosing.
This is not a luxury patisserie experience. The strength is choice, speed and everyday pricing.
Practical tips
Use this simple plan for an easy visit:
- Check the official hours on the day you plan to go.
- Arrive before noon for the broadest pastry and sandwich choice.
- Read the exterior menu before joining the counter queue.
- Compare individual prices with the breakfast or lunch formulas.
- Ask about ingredients before ordering if you have dietary needs.
Outdoor seating is limited, so takeaway may be easier at busy times. Menu prices can also change.
Things to note
The display is compact and can become busy. Product labels are mainly in French, though most items are easy to identify.
Breakfast and lunch formulas are clearly presented on the exterior menu. However, the exact range depends on the time of day. Popular pastries and sandwiches may not remain available until closing.
Published opening times are not fully consistent. The official page lists shorter hours than a recently updated French directory. It is sensible to confirm before a special trip.
