Le Croquembouche est sans aucun doute l'une des meilleures adresses de Québec pour savourer un excellent café & un délicieux repas léger. Le point fort de la maison, ce sont sans contredit les pâtisseries artisanales : un vaste choix de tartelettes, d'éclairs, de gâteaux & de desserts préparés avec des fruits de saison, toujours frais & délicieux.

L'endroit est spacieux, lumineux & très agréable, avec une belle vue sur la rue Saint-Joseph, en plein coeur du quartier Saint-Roch. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de café & de pâtisseries de qualité. Je recommande sans hésiter !

À déconseiller aux véritables connaisseurs de pâtisserie française. Des pâtisseries de qualité industrielle & un café médiocre.

I ordered a latte & quiche. Latte was quite good, but I ordered it with maple flavoring, & I did not taste it at all in my drink. Quiche was also delicious, but the center was a little cold & not heated through. I didn't want to bring either back to the counter to be remade since I'm visiting from Boston & this was my first time at the cafe, so I was worried the staff would do something to my food if I made a complaint. Might give this place a pass next time I'm here.

Great service
Great Pastries (try their Quiche Lorraine)
Prices make sense for the quality of the eats imo
I dig the European cafe ambience as well
Haven't had a bad interaction with staff in all my visits
Definitely a must visit in the city

Je me suis arrêté pour acheter un muffin au chocolat. Dans ma voiture, je prends une bouchée. Ça ne goûtait pas le chocolat, mais le café. Je comprends que pour rehausser le goût du chocolat, on peut mettre du café, mais s'était trop. C'est la seule bouchée que j'ai prise. J'ai jeté le muffin aux poubelles. Je reviens dans la voiture une heure plus tard, ça sent quoi ? Le café 🙄 Fallait dire que le muffin était au café & non au chocolat. Je n'aime pas le café.

Café latte était fade. Mon copain qui est un Français ne voulait pas des chocolatines car elles étaient toutes'reluisantes'. Toutes les viennoiseries sont reluisantes d'ailleurs. C'est du sucre? Sirop de maïs? Donne l'allure que c'est tout artificielle!

This is an update:
I decided to try the cafe again after my first review. This is an update after a few visits, so now I can say they are improved, & I enjoyed having the mini croissant & new strawberry/raspberry puff pastry. It was crispy at the same time melting in mouth 😊
They don't make my favorite Torsad anymore, but I think I can enjoy the new ones.

First time eating in a bakery shop, I didn't expect it to be this great! I recommend this cafe.

J'ai aimé l'endroit en entrant, mais j'ai déchanté rapidement en voyant les tables & le plancher pas nettoyés (plein de miettes & de traces de café collant). Il y avait au moins 3 employés derrière qui pacotaient. Si j'étais le gérant, je leur dirais de passer régulièrement pour maintenir le lieu propre & accueillant, par respect pour la clientèle. Juste à cause de ça, je n'y retournerai pas.
