La Tartine

We came here for lunch and it was pretty busy! The decor is simplistic and pretty. Loved the curtain holders. We ordered the french onion soup, a sandwich and salad, 5 macarons and a mocha and the summer spritzer to end the meal. Service was definitely quick. The french onion soup was delicious! They advertise that as best in town. I have not had other french onion soups in COS but this was pretty damn good!! And very filling too! I wasn't happy with the bread as the roll seemed too hard and then was pretty plain. My friend's sandwich was dry too but the salad was good. The mocha was very smooth, just enough coffee, chocolate and sugar. The spritzer was wonderful - a cooling mix of orange, pineapple, strawberries. The macarons were a treat. I loved the one with mint the most and the coconut the least. But they were all delicious. Definitely recommend a visit here to try the soup and the spritzer!

Very nice place. It's quiet, cozy, and the food is amazing! You pay upfront and the food is brought to you. There is not the usual pesky staff asking you, "How's everything tasting so far?" I think it's because they know everything is delicious. Ingredients taste fresh, and their prices are reasonable. I give it a two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

This shop on the corner of academy and I-25 really surprised us! The quality, options, and the reasonable price make for a great outing with family or a friend! They are only open from 8:00 to 3:00 everyday so you want to make sure that you get here early so that the pastries are hot and not eaten up!

I came here on a Sunday around 11:30 on a quest to find a good French onion soup in Colorado springs. I went in thinking it was a sit down restaurant but you just order from the counter and they bring the food out which is fine but for me the problem was they brought different people's food out so far apart from each other that my guest was finished eating by the time my soup arrived. I also had to go back to the counter to ask if they bring out the drinks or we were supposed to have received them from the counter. I also had to ask if I was supposed to get a number. I saw a few other people having to ask for their waters as well so it's certainly not a smooth process. The food: The French onion soup was okay...it had plenty of cheese which is very important to me....the onions were caramelized a little bit too long creating a slight bitterness but it didn't take away from the dish too much. The créme brulee was great with a nice crispy top. We had a hot chocolate which was fun for my daughter and I had the ginger peach ice tea which was fresh and refreshing. The macarons we would not order again. Atmosphere: very bland...would benefit from some booths and partitions to lead to some privacy. It's just a bunch of tables out in the open and the customers were mostly over 70. They did play some French music which was a nice attempt and would be great if they did some small improvements inside...like paint 😬
