Review summary

What guests say about Café l'Abri Côtier

Charming and cozy café, appreciated for its peaceful atmosphere, lovely view, and often friendly service. Customers especially highlight the good coffee, pastries, desserts, and several vegan or vegetarian options, with gluten-free choices as well. However, there can be long waits and crowds during peak season, and a few reviews mention small portions, high prices, or inconsistent service.

Such a lovely little place! Great location too, on the corner from the waterfront. I noted they were busy even early morning. Staff were very friendly and chirpy and spoke English back to my very poor French 😊.A large variety of pastries etc were available and I opted for an almond croissant which was perfectly flakey and buttery. I also lucked out with a great window seat with a view to the bay. An excellent cappuccino set my morning off just right and I regret that I neglected to purchase a bag of the house beans to take home. Will definitely make this my " "lil breakfast joint " when next I come to Tadoussac.

Great little café in a perfect location! We tried the chicken curry sandwich, an iced café latte, affogato, and a vegan muffin, and everything was delicious. The chicken curry sandwich was especially fresh, served on a perfectly toasted baguette with amazing flavor. The coffee was refreshing, and the vegan muffin was excellent too. Highly recommended if you're looking for fresh, tasty food and great coffee!

Amazing service, very nice staff. Line was long but it's because it was the only place open at that time, not their fault. THEY CHARGE FOR TO-GO CUPS *bravo* so bring your reusables (like we did)👌🏻🩶

My coffee was DIVINE! They had a couple of vegan options for pastries as well, I had the almond financier and it was sweet and yummy! Definitely recommend. They have a lovely little shop inside as well where you can buy souvenirs, locally made products and coffee beans.

It says they have a vegan menu, but they had no sandwich options when we went. And they cannot make anything on the spot. At least we were able to get a vegan dessert and coffee with oat milk.

Thanks for sharing Rachel. So unfortunate that you came at a moment where our vegan sandwich option was being prepared. We do our best to satisfy every customer.

Had a lovely late lunch here! They were very accommodating of our limited French and our transaction was smooth. The selection is large and I enjoyed their vegan sandwich very much. I am hoping to return again!
