Visitors consistently praise the exceptional quality of the coffee, noting the use of premium beans and precise preparation techniques, alongside a delicious selection of artisanal pastries such as cardamom buns, canelés, and Basque cheesecake. The staff are frequently described as warm, professional, and knowledgeable, contributing to a welcoming experience.

Yesterday we visited this café for coffee & croissants, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing.
When we sat down, the table had not been cleaned - there were two glasses of water & used napkins left behind. Even after our coffee was served, no one came to clear or clean the table, so we had to move everything ourselves.
The service felt inattentive, & the staff didn't seem welcoming. As for the coffee & croissant, they were quite average & not worth the visit.
We paid around $20 for two single espressos & one chocolate croissant, which in my opinion was not worth it at all.
Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, & I wouldn't return.

Le matcha était très bon & les pâtisseries donnaient vraiment envie ! Le personnel était très gentil. Cependant, la musique était vraiment forte pour un café ; cela venait un peu diminuer l'ambiance alors que le style du lieu était très apaisant.

Même si le site internet mentionne que le café ferme à 17h00 le dimanche, je suis arrivé à 16h40 & on m'a indiqué que les machines avaient déjà été lavées & ne pouvait donc pas faire de café. Je suis également allé prendre un café le matin, il était bon, mais les serveurs devraient respecter l'horaire publique.

Bon café prétentieux, si c'est ce que vous aimez. Je mets une étoile parce qu'il n'y a pas de toilettes pour les clients, ce qui est illégal.

I really enjoyed my flat white & espresso at café Apotek! If you are in the area, check this spot out.

Ça fait longtemps que je vais chez Olive & Apotek & je dois dire que c'est vraiment le meilleur café latte qu'on puisse vous servir à Québec. Un café avec une ambiance unique, des personnes super sympas & des produits uniques aussi, je vous recommande leurs pâtisseries, particulièrement le cannelé & si vous avez l'occasion leur déjeuner danois est vraiment top aussi.

Beau café avec esthétique mariant antiquité & minimalisme scandinave. Nos cappuccini à l'avoine & notre déjeuner danois (pain au levain, oeuf à la coque, fromage & confiture) étaient délicieux. Remarque importante: pas de toilettes sur place…

Such a nice aesthetic cafe. Reminds me of Korean style coffee shops. Croissant & coffee were delicious. Recommended.
