The dessert is good, and the coffee is not bad (i ordered an espresso). The place itself is nice, especially because it's located in the heart of the city. I would recommend it for its location and nice atmosphere rather than for the coffee itself.

Good food and coffee. Perfect breakfast spot. My only comment would be, you should have someone cleaning the tables especially during peak times as people come and go and it’s not very pleasant to be sitting on dirty table or looking for someone who can clean it for you.

Amazing coffee and pastries! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is very welcoming and offers lots of seating if you choose to dine in. The coffee is smooth and hot and all their food is incredibly delicious! Well worth a stop to any location in Quebec City!

I’m quite picky when it comes to coffee, so maybe it’s just me, but the coffee wasn’t great. I ordered a cortado, the barista called my drink a cortado, but girl, it was a latte. I drank it anyway, and it was mid. The only vegan option was a cookie (I didn’t have it). There’s not a lot of options in the city for vegan stuff at cafes. At least they had Loop juices. But if you’re a coffee lover, I’d pick somewhere else. Also my partner had a smoothie which she liked, and a croissant sandwich which she described also as mid :/ Edit: the reply from the cafe mentioned a vegan sandwich but the barista confirmed the bread has eggs in it, so it is not vegan.

It's a good place with half decent selection. The smoothie machine was broken though, so... no smoothies, I guess.

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.
