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.

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.

It seemed that the front chef was busy chatting on the phone to his girlfriend so we took a seat and waited. After a few minutes, a waiter came by with menus and took drink orders. Tarte Flambée for both of us. Ham and cheese for my friend, "Spicy" for me. Both were the proper portion and loaded with cheese. I can't say that the spicy had much for spicy but it was tasty. We opted not to have dessert or coffee as there's still plenty of eating to be done in Colmar. [Review 21173 overall - 92 in France - 136 of 2024.]

Coffee is really nice at this place…read more Ground floor is mainly a coffee shop. You can buy grounded coffee or just the beans if you want. They have a nice selection of coffee makers as well. If you just want to seat and have a coffee, go upstairs! there is a lot of space. I like this place because they have a large choice of original beans and flavored drinks. The staff is really helpful.

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.
