Naples residents Yannick and Ana Brendel have the opportunity to reopen the original La Colmar Bakery & Bistro that they created in 2017. Business circumstances led them to other hospitality projects in town such as Yana Eats restaurant and Bakery E at Hotel Escalante, but the Brendels always hoped to return to La Colmar, a French bakery named for the town in northeastern France where Yannick Brendel grew up as a third-generation baker and pastry chef. La Colmar Bakery & Bistro is targeted to relaunch this fall in a commercial duplex it shares with Grappino restaurant across from Wynn’s Market on the southeast corner of U.S. 41 and First Avenue North in Naples. The 70-seat bistro with a dining area inside and covered tables outside will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, and closed Mondays.
