Best pastry shops in Colmar (my favorites!)

Where to find the best pastry shop in Colmar? This is a very important question for all food lovers, including me! I propose you here my selection of pastry shops, where you will be able to go to buy some delights during your visit of Colmar. There is no hierarchy between them, they all have their own personality!

The Artemisia

I already talked to you about l’Artémise in the list of the best tea rooms in Colmar. L’Artémise is both a tea room and an artisanal pastry shop: you can buy the delights that are available there to take away! That’s good news 🙂

I warn you, the hardest part will be to make your choice: between the ultra greedy cookies and the tarts more original and tempting than the others, we would like to leave with the whole store! As a bonus, the portions are generous and the pastries are very pretty.

Mulhaupt Pastry Shop

The Mulhaupt pastry shop in Colmar is the former Jean pastry shop. Thierry Mulhaupt took over this emblematic place of Colmar and perpetuates its gourmet tradition.

You will find high quality pastries and excellent pies, one of Mulhaupt’s specialties. At the end of the week, you can find crazy pies, pies whose ingredients vary according to the imagination of the bakers.

Yann’s workshop

L’Atelier de Yann is a very nice pastry shop in Colmar. Located on Place de la Cathédrale, the store is resolutely modern: large spaces, an incredible ceiling and a huge bay window allowing to see the pastry chefs working. A very nice place!

The pastries are very fine. You can find there some classics (eclairs, chestnut torches) but also some more original ones (eclairs with lemon meringue pie for example). L’Atelier de Yann also offers excellent chocolates. Something to enjoy!

Gilg Pastry Shop

The Gilg pastry shop is a very famous pastry shop in Colmar. It is a high-end pastry shop offering quite sophisticated pastries.

If you’re looking for traditional Alsatian food, you’ll have to pass (except for the kouglof). However, if you want to taste the excellent creations of a master pastry chef from the region (the Gilg family is originally from Munster), you are at the right address!
