This tea room is definitely worth a visit! Peacefully located in the center of the village, it boasts a lovely terrace and a charming welcome. Over the years, this chic, discreet address has become well known among gourmets. You come in the morning, by bike, to sit on the terrace and devour a quality breakfast: cake of the day, hot drink, homemade yoghurt, fruit juice and fresh market fruit. There's no doubt about it, you're full and ready for a ride! At lunchtime, as peaceful as ever, you can enjoy a savoury tart with a little greenery. But it's at snack time that gourmands always find a good reason to stop here! Over a cappuccino, iced tea or lemoncito, you can enjoy a cookie, an old-fashioned macaroon, a sweet tart...

This small address, just a step from Les Halles, is one of those that we exchange between friends to offer ourselves a nice lunch break. You have two choices: order and take away your favorite dish to enjoy it in the sun or take a seat in one of the two rooms to devour it on the spot. Everything here invites you to spend a nice moment from the welcome to the products present which are all fresh and rich in tastes! What a pleasure to taste a poke bowl, a burger, home made fries or a fish and chips... and some delicacies!

Among the establishments of the rue des Templiers, this café stands out a bit from its neighbors. Open only during the day - except for some very popular afterworks - this place with its new colorful decoration is known for those who want to have a comforting break or to eat. The menu evolves with the seasons with always a large choice of drinks, salads to compose, sandwiches, soups and famous cakes. Home-made and healthy food are privileged, as well as good mood! The team is smiling, the service is fast.

Soft jazzy music, a hushed ambience, a pretty wooden floor - that's L'Instant T. This café is located within the Espace culturel, offering a resolutely refined break. Le Petit Futé invites you to take a seat around one of the small tables, comfortably ensconced in one of the armchairs. Take your time and discover a menu that invites you to savor. If you feel like sipping a hot drink, you can choose between a cappuccino (vanilla, hazelnut, caramel), a café Moka, a Viennese chocolate or a surprising Instant Gourmand chocolate (milk, chocolate, homemade whipped cream and your choice of flavour). Cold drinks also feature coffee: Moka or espresso frappé, but also milkshakes and smoothies (strawberry, banana, mango...). Peacefully seated, you'll be pleasantly served, and no doubt bump into former Stade Rochelais player Étienne Léobet, or one of the equally friendly waitresses. But don't think you come here just for a coffee. For lunch, you can order at the counter and eat in or take away. Pasta or lasagne from Italian caterer Basilic'o, paninis, salads, quiches... And let's not forget the sweet treats: doughnuts, caramelized apple crumble, tiramisu... A few mignardises to accompany your coffee to make it even more... gourmand!

It's not just another café like the dozens you'll find in La Rochelle, but a unique place on a quiet downtown street. Infini thé is set up under the arcades of rue Dupaty, with a window display as bright as it is beautifully presented. Just step through the doors and you'll be filled with the scent of tea. Alyson and Henri will advise you on a wide range of teas. But before choosing, the Petit Futé recommends you head to the back of the store for a moment of tasting. There's a pellet stove in the lounge that provides a gentle warmth, ideal for enjoying a cup of tea and spending a few sweet moments. Next door is a recently refurbished patio. Comfortably seated in this intimate space, you'll have plenty of time to choose from a range of fragrant green teas, Russian flavors, white teas, Darjeelings, black teas and, of course, coffees from the four corners of the globe: Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru.... The magic happens when you take a sip, and the winter in La Rochelle becomes milder. And to accompany these hot drinks, indulge in a plate of homemade cakes: chocolate fondant, pear and coconut cake, pineapple cake, tutti frutti cake...

After working with Christopher Coutanceau and at Le Bistrol, Théo Chéreau has returned to his home town. For the past 3 years, he has been offering the people of La Rochelle the chance to sample his pastries in his pretty tearoom, ideally located just a stone's throw from the Halles. Strolling through the arcades, strollers often stop in front of the window displaying the creations of this enthusiast. A word of advice: give in to temptation and enter! You'll enjoy a warm welcome, a cosy setting and carefully crafted pastries. An address not to be missed.
