Peering inside its dark interiors and modern pastry case, a lone Frenchman espresso drinking connoisseur quickly took his sip and was already on his way out as we entered in. Boulangerie Coté-Four was not traditional, but it was pretty and appealing to me. We shared an èclair au praliné noisette, croissant aux amandes, and pain au chocolat - all three of them perfect, fresh, delicious, and everlasting. Boulangeriie Coté-Four, you certainly have my approval for your oh so delicious sweets x

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.

This is the main foodie market hall in Colmar, and it's small but filled with fantastaic offerings…read more I never pass up the chance to visit a good food hall in Europe, and this one didn't disappoint. The Marche Couvert is located in the middle of old town in a lovely building. It's free to enter, so at least go in to look around even if you don't plan on buying any food. Inside, you'll find a mix of local produce, cheeses, meats, wines, and a few prepared-food stands that make it really tempting to grab a bite on the spot. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with vendors who are generally friendly and happy to chat (especially if you show a little curiosity about what they're selling). It's also a nice break from the more touristy streets outside. It's still very popular, but in a more relaxed way. I was enamored by the fresh pasta stand, especially because the proprietors were speaking Italian. I couldn't pass this up, so I ordered a small portion of homemade cheese tortellini with tomato sauce. Within 10 minutes, my snack was ready (and it was delicious). Hubby elected for some oysters with beer, and enjoyed them. There isn't a lot of seating inside, so be aware if you need a place to rest your feet. Some of the larger stalls had seating if you ordered food or beverages from them (but it was still nearly impossible to get a seat). This market isn't worth a trip just to Colmar to visit, but I'd consider it a must-do for any foodie who is in the area.

This place seems to have a lot of good reviews, but sadly, I did not have a good experience when I…read morewas there. The two pastries that intrigued me the most were their lemon tarte and a fluffy German cheesecake called Käsekuchen. Ideally, I would have gotten both, but I was so full from eating everything else in this town that I had to settle with having just one pastry for an afternoon snack - and I went with the Käsekuchen. While I liked that it wasn't too sweet, it ended up being very eggy and altogether very meh - a first for me when it comes to pastries in France. The tea I got to go with it was also not very memorable. While the interior is cute - rustic, with lots of Teddy bears everywhere - the service was very lacking, especially compared to other places in this town. Maybe my experience would have been better if I had picked the lemon tarte or tried some lunch or dinner items, but I'll probably skip this place next time I'm in town.

The charming local owner is more than happy to help you find exactly the right taste your looking for, while you can sit by the counter and take in all the wonderful armours around. If I am ever in Colmar again you will be sure to find me making myself right at home in this treasure of a café.
