Emilie and the cool kids, Café and restaurant in Lille, France
Emilie and the Cool Kids is a café and restaurant in Lille that serves homemade cookies, milkshakes, bagels, and salads in a colorful space with casual seating. The interior has a relaxed feel that makes it comfortable to sit down or grab something quick.
The concept started from a first coffee shop that opened in Nice during 2007. That initial project eventually grew into a network of locations spread across France.
The spot brings together American pastry methods with French cooking traditions in how it prepares daily dishes. This blend of influences shapes how people experience the food and the casual mood inside.
The restaurant opens Wednesday through Saturday from 8:30 to 18:00, and on Sundays from 10:00 to 15:00. You can eat there or order items to take away.
The menu rotates every three months using seasonal ingredients and includes specific options for people following vegetarian and vegan diets. This kind of flexibility shows up across breakfast, brunch, and lunch choices.
