Le 44 sur Chalon-Sur-Saone

A lovely spot for coffee or tea in Chalon-sur-Saône. We received a very warm welcome and the atmosphere is peaceful. Perfect for a relaxing break!

At Café 44, we enjoyed a hot chocolate with an orange and lemon tart. The two waitresses were attentive and very kind. We love charming places like this one.

We were looking for a tea room for a family afternoon tea. We were charmed the moment we walked in. We waited a little while because there were quite a few of us, taking a short stroll while keeping a watchful eye on the door, afraid of missing a few hungry guests leaving 😅 The place is warm and cozy. We settled onto the banquettes against the cushions, and there I ate a carrot cake!!!! A generous and delicious slice. The advice, the smiles—in short, I highly recommend this tea room. Don't change a thing, or just a little; I'll be back.

New visit this Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Since my previous review, the 44 has changed management. Courtesy and quality are still there, and I will be back. New afternoon tea this Wednesday, October 23: the homemade scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam are delicious, as is the floral-scented "Memory" green tea. The owners are very friendly, and their tea room (and cafe) is a feast for the taste buds... and the eyes. Looking forward to tasting it again! P.S. What a shame to read the despicable and totally unjustified comment posted today by an angry customer who confused a tea room with a cafeteria and let off steam shamefully... A rich selection of teas (and coffees), delicious homemade orange cake, and a courteous welcome, all in a charming, cozy setting with soft, jazzy music. This first visit won't be the last... The "44" (Grand'rue) is a lovely establishment for a gourmet break. I highly recommend it. Best regards.

Lovely little café, friendly atmosphere, great cakes.
