Sococe Deux Plateaux

Sococe Deux Plateaux is a supermarket-anchored shopping gallery in the Deux Plateaux area of Cocody, Abidjan, one of the city's longer-established retail centres serving an affluent residential district. The gallery combines a full-service supermarket with a row of boutiques and cafes, giving shoppers a compact, fixed-price alternative to Abidjan's open-air markets within a well-known Cocody landmark. The supermarket stocks a broad range of imported and Ivorian groceries, while the surrounding boutiques lean toward fashion, cosmetics, and specialty goods aimed at local professionals and expatriate residents of Deux Plateaux. Prices throughout Sococe are fixed and posted, with no bargaining expected, and most stores and the supermarket accept both cash in CFA francs and major credit or debit cards. There is no tax-refund scheme for tourist purchases in Ivory Coast. The cafes within the gallery are a popular meeting spot for Deux Plateaux residents, offering a calmer, more Western-style setting than the surrounding streets. Because Sococe has operated for decades as a neighborhood institution, it is smaller and less flashy than newer malls like PlaYce Palmeraie, but it remains a reliable, centrally located option for grocery shopping and casual dining in Cocody. Visitors staying in Deux Plateaux will find it convenient for everyday errands and a quick coffee, though its retail offering is narrower than the larger PlaYce or Cap Sud centres. The gallery's early-closing Sunday hours reflect its role as a neighborhood convenience centre rather than a destination mall.
