I don't think this place is super cute. It's a great location. The service was great, but I feel like if you are going for a nice , cute, chique environment, this isn't the place. Perhaps we ordered the wrong item (pecan pie) because it was actually disgusting. But there are probably other yummy things to try.

We stopped for coffee, but ended up buying some savouries as well that were unique and appetising. We enjoyed the food really well. Prices were also decent for the portion. It was crowded and since the indoor spacing was small, we had to quickly grab the seats. They do have outdoor seating as well. But those get occupied first!

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience here. There was a misunderstanding with our order, and while mistakes happen, the way it was handled came across as unfriendly and dismissive. There was no apology or effort to clarify the situation, which made the interaction feel unnecessarily cold. Will likely never come back.

We stayed in a hotel around the corner and came here for breakfast over several days. Their pastries were amazing, quiche was exceptional, so were the coffees. Great value, good service, and plenty of comfortable seating. Very cozy atmosphere with a lot of unique decor.

The staff were very friendly and patient with me while I tried to order in French. The vanilla latte and matcha latte were perfect (about 7cad for large(grand). Not too sweet and the matcha was not too bitter. We also ordered a raspberry cheesecake which was a perfect balance of creamy, sweet and a bit tart. Very satisfied with our afternoon pick me up.

A very nice chain of cafes in Quebec. We’ve stopped many times at several locations in and around Old Quebec. Always a positive experience. This particular location has some cute seats outside where you can enjoy when the weather is nice. You can sit there and enjoy some delicious treats and sandwiches, drinks, conversation, and even people watching. The drinks are always delicious. I feel the pricing and portion servings are decent. The staff is always helpful and professional, while also being friendly. Highly recommended.

So comfortable in many ways: service, music, installations... good quality and all the products. After a good walk in the streets and the cool weather of Quebec, it's so comfortable to go in and drink a hot drink.

Great experience! Étienne was super helpful, even grabbing the ingredient binder to answer my questions about the banana bread. The blond barista was lovely, and the coffee and vibes were spot on. Wish we had one in South Shore Montreal!

Great cafe with very tasty sweet pastries and good savory options as well. The quiche is a quick and satisfying lunch option, and both the coffee and hot chocolate are excellent. I kept coming back during my trip for breakfast and snacks.

The baristas are fantastic — efficient but warm and welcoming, and the lattes are delicious. Skip the baked goods and go with a croissant or pastry — they’re amazing.
