CAFÉ DE LA LAUCH

This adorable tea room nestles in a typical alleyway of old Colmar, slightly set back from the Little Venice bridge. It is a timeless place, tastefully furnished on the ground floor of a venerable Alsatian building. Here, one really takes the time to savour a double espresso (1924 - Un Monde de Café) or a delicious tea (Dammann) accompanied by a jam shortbread, a lemon tartlet, a slice of cottage cheese tart or a succulent linzertorte. You can also treat yourself to a good breakfast (pastries, kouglof, fresh bread, butter, jam...) and sit down for lunch to enjoy a quiche lorraine and other small hot dishes. We take the opportunity to admire the many period objects, photos and illustrations that adorn the premises. The whole contributes to create, as we say in Alsatian, a very heimlich atmosphere (like at home) in a frame tinged with very soft straw yellow. The back of the Café de la Lauch, with its bright glass roof, opens onto a charming terrace overlooking the river of the same name.
