Patisserie Kamm - Salon de thé

A seasonal collection in the Sélestat case

The case changes with the collection. Jardin d'Été, built on rose Chantilly and SIMÉA cream, belongs to the Printemps-Été 2026 range at Pâtisserie Kamm, the Sélestat flagship of a French pastry house that treats each season as a set of new pieces rather than a rotation of the same ones. The shop works in two halves: a pâtisserie counter for finished pieces to carry away, and a salon de thé for sitting down with coffee, tea and a plate. Around the entremets there are macarons, chocolates, viennoiseries baked daily and a traiteur line, so the address works as a morning stop and as the place a family orders a cake for a celebration.

The salon is half the business

Sitting down is not an afterthought here. The salon de thé has 40 seats inside and 40 on the terrace, an 80-seat capacity that puts it closer to a tea room than a takeaway counter, and the same floor handles people collecting boxes, cakes and larger orders. Guests pair pastries with coffee or tea at the table while the counter keeps moving behind them. The house runs two boutiques with salons de thé, one here and one in Dambach-la-Ville, and Sélestat is the flagship of the pair. The bigger formats are where the kitchen stretches: birthday cakes, pièces montées and long rectangular grands gâteaux, pieces made to order rather than picked off a shelf.

Order the seasonal collection first

Begin with whatever collection is running, because that is where the house concentrates its work. Jardin d'Été is the clearest example, rose Chantilly set against SIMÉA cream in the Printemps-Été 2026 range. Macarons are the other defined line, colored only from natural sources. Viennoiseries are baked every day, which settles a morning visit, and the glacés, chocolates and sweet mignardises fill out the rest of the sweet side. The traiteur counter keeps the shop from being sweets alone, useful when the order has to cover more than dessert. Pâtisserie Kamm is listed by Gault & Millau and appears as a Relais Desserts member boutique for 2026.
