About the Vibe
Green Bear Coffee was Marseille's pioneer in the organic, vegetarian, and gluten-free scene, running three locations including the Opéra spot on rue Glandevès. While the concept was ahead of its time with 100% bio, locally sourced, and mostly gluten-free options, the brand has unfortunately closed all its locations. If you're hunting for similar vibes, you'll find the spirit lives on in other healthy cafes around the city, but this specific chapter has ended.

A Pioneer That Closed Its Doors
Green Bear Coffee was a trailblazer in Marseille's dining scene when it opened in 2009, being the first establishment to offer a full menu of organic, vegetarian, and mostly gluten-free dishes. The three locations—including the one in the Opéra neighborhood at 17 rue Glandevès—were popular spots for health-conscious locals looking for a quick, homemade meal made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The menu featured a variety of salads, warm dishes, and desserts, with many options being both gluten-free and dairy-free.
Unfortunately, all three Green Bear Coffee locations have since closed their doors, leaving a gap for those seeking this specific type of healthy, fast-casual dining. While the concept was well-received and the food quality was praised, the business couldn't sustain operations. If you're looking for a similar experience today, you'll need to explore other organic cafes in Marseille, as Green Bear Coffee is no longer an option for your lunch or coffee break.
