We go to…read moreColmar around twice per year, and each time we make our way to L'Essence Du Thé and stock up on tea for the next 6 months! We haven't found any other tea store (even in New York) with such an interesting selection of teas and such friendly, knowledgable staff. Try their herbal mixes. Also, it's a great place to order a cup of tea, sit back, and relax.

Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.

But a very good place to sit and people watch, with a glass of Alsace wine or coffee. Prices were reasonable compared to the other touristy restaurants. Service is slow but considering how much staff they have compared to customers, it is understandable.
