Boulangerie Patisserie L’Artisane

Yes, yes, the girl that helped us with our orders most of the days we dropped by is about 20 years old. Still, I was pretty much committed to falling in love with a French girl during the 15 days we spent in France on this month long trip. Right. This was on day two. Oh, the pastry, and the baguette were absolutely 5 star too.

This is, by far, the best bakery in Colmar, heck, so far, this is the best bakery within a two hour drive from Zurich!
If you love Italian style deli cookies then be sure to grab a box, not a bag, a box and pick out your favorites. If you opt for a bag, you will be sorely disappointed and left wanting more.
The bakery is a standard, small European bakery offering streudels, breads, pastries, eclairs, and the like. I have only had the small cookies that are sold by weight, brownie, and streudel, all of which were simply divine.
It is hard for me to accurately assess pricing as I live in Zurich where everything is overpriced and don’t taste nearly half as good as the offerings at this bakery. I typically get a kilo (what can I say?) of cookies and a brownie and spend around 15 euro.
The women are friendly and understand enough English to allow you to pick out your own cookies that they pack up for you.
The only drawback was during my last visit a very tacky U.K. family came in and started taking a ton of photos (with flash). Mind you this shop is small so I am guaranteed to be in every photo, I was thoroughly annoyed by their horrendous behavior.
Closed from noon-14:00

Bonne boulangerie de quartier où l’accueil est toujours sympathique et les produits frais !

This is the perfect pâtisserie for your dose of fresh French bread in the morning. Also selling a selection of Colmas finest sausages and salamis for a perfect breakfast or snack. The building follows the tradition Colmar style that tourists can’t get enough of. Easy going simple pâtisserie that’s perfect to nip in and nip out.
