Many visitors praise the quality of the ice cream and gelato, often highlighting these as the standout items, while opinions on the sandwiches and hot beverages remain mixed. The service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, though some experiences have been marred by inconsistent staff performance or concerns over pricing.

Le personnel est très agréable, un grand merci à eux. J'ai mangé chez eux un sundae, dont la taille était plus que satisfaisante, ayant pris le petit. Je ne recommande juste pas le matcha latte, qui était trop peu concentré (si ce n'est pas possible d'augmenter la quantité de matcha, il faudrait alors réduire la quantité de lait). Mais sinon globalement expérience très positive !

Petit kiosque sur l'esplanade, idéalement situé pour prendre un petit café avec une vue magnifique sur le château de Frontenac. Personnel très gentil.
Petit plus pour le brownie qui était une pépite 👌

Got 2 sundae & a hot chocolate. Sundae was fine but the hot chocolate was terrible, it was very bitter & lukewarm. Would not recommend their hot chocolate.

I didn't like how overpriced it's! The taste was not bad but the service was below expectations & staff were clearly overworked. I hope who ever manages this place get busy because there is a lot of improvement to be done.

I was really disappointed with this cafe. The staff seemed uninterested & it took forever to get anyone's attention. & when i asked the staff a question in English they seemed uninterested & disrespectful to me. Definitely won't be coming back
