I stopped by here on a Tuesday afternoon; they were open although it was a jour férié. The café is…read moresmall but cute with a nice atmosphere and is run by a kind, soft-spoken gentleman. There were 8 tables inside (each seating 2 people, but I'm sure they could be pushed together to form larger tables) and 3 plushy chairs; there were 2 or 3 small tables outside with a large umbrella. There was a good list of teas on the menu, most for 3,50€ but a few premium ones were more expensive. There were also tea leaves and tea accessories for sale. You could smell-test the teas inside before ordering. There was also a small menu of lasagnes, quiches, etc "fait maison" and a small selection of sweet treats on display as well. I ordered a pot of lapacho tea for 3,50€, which yielded about 3 cups, and was steeped with care. I was given a little hourglass set to time the tea steeping, which was cute. The atmosphere is very calm and tranquil; I think the books all around encouraged people to speak in hushed voices as if it were a library. There was 1 woman working on her laptop, and it seems like this would be a good place to get some work or reading done, or to have a calm conversation. The owner was happy to provide the wifi password when asked, and the connection was pretty reliable. One woman brought her 2 dogs and tied them up outside; the owner offered them a bowl of water, which was very sweet. The bathroom was pretty pristine, although you must use a set of fairly narrow stairs to access it, so keep that in mind. I stayed for about 1.5 hours and was never bothered or rushed. I paid with cash but it appears credit cards are accepted. The café is very conveniently located in the centre-ville, not far from the cathedral. There was air conditioning; however, it is worth noting that this was not terribly strong so you might still be a bit warm if you're used to the AC in the US. I really enjoyed my tea and the atmosphere here, and would highly recommend stopping by for a nice conversation or to get some work done. Although I did not try them, the pastries looked enticing and 1 of the other customers described the lemon meringue tart, a house specialty, as amazing.

Amazing, cozy place, local home-made pastries, the best tea and hot cocoa, the sweetest host/owner!…read moreDefinitely recommend. Also super close to centre ville

This place seems like more hype than quality, but I fell for the marketing and waited in a long…read moreline to get inside to see what was on offer. I went towards the end of the evening near closing time, so the cookies and pastries had already been picked over quite a bit. Luckily, I was here to get a gingerbread man, and I picked out the cutest one ever (see photos)! I've rarely met a gingerbread I didn't like, and this version was a-okay. It wasn't as spicy as I'd like, but it had a nice chewy crunch to the cookie that made the texture quite satisfying. Of course, as is my method, I nibbled off his arms and legs first. I'm not such a fan of the icing, and Gilg's version I found quite bland. It was sweet, but not tasty. My cookie was individually wrapped in plastic which made it easy to reseal to enjoy later. I was able to take a few more nibbles on my train to Paris the next afternoon. And did I mention how stinking cute the cookie was? The little wide eyes and "o" face...just adorable. I could see these making excellent gifts to take home from Europe, if you could keep the cookies from breaking during transit. The other goods on offer looked tasty, but if the gingerbread man is any indication, this may be one of those "all looks, bland taste" type of bakeries. I wish I had tried something else, but my main reason to visit was merely "just okay."

We tried multiple bakeries in colmar. This was our favorite. Their pastries were consistently…read morefresh. The croissant was perfect. Light flaky on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The apple pastry was so good. They workers were super nice and helpful. The sandwiches were just ok.
