We've travelled all over Canada & tried A LOT of coffee along the way. As Europeans, we've been seriously missing a really good, properly made coffee, & we finally found it here!
The whole concept of Café Apotek is brilliant. The apothecary theme gives the place character, but it's not over the top or trying too hard. Everything is thoughtfully done, just enough.
The barista was incredibly kind & attentive, both when taking our order & when serving us.
& the coffee! Easily the best I've had in Canada. So many places have great beans, but that doesn't mean much if the coffee isn't made well. Both coffees we had here were absolutely perfect.
The cardamom bun was amazing, & everything else we tried was delicious too.
Honestly, good coffee is a perfectly valid reason to relocate, so I guess we're moving to Quebec City tomorrow. 😂

I want to gatekeep this place quite badly, but I can't ethically do that! A very peaceful coffee shop with a refined but minimalist interior which feels effortlessly luxurious. The coffee is excellent & the service friendly. They were also playing Handel when I was here in the early morning. I wish this was round the corner from my home so I could begin every day like this.

Great food & delicious coffee. The staff were friendly, although the service could have been a little faster. The atmosphere was okay, but there's room for improvement. Overall, I had a good experience & would come back.'

This spot is very quiet & hidden away but so worth seeking out. The coffee was amazing & the pastries are both beautiful & delicious. The only reason I'm not including a picture is because I was too excited to eat it.

Great Way to Start the Day! Coffee & Latte was yummy but the pastries are the start of the show. So good & made with care & professionalism. But as we know quality comes at a cost. We spent over $35 for this picture...

The setting of this cafe is super aesthetically pleasing & amazing to enjoy a nice cup of coffee. I believe this place is great at hot drinks & latte art. I did try the iced latte with maple syrup & it was delicious. Not too sweet, & perfect amount of coffee flavor. It had one ice cube & came in a glass cup to dine in. I really enjoyed the jazz/house music they played & how artistic & modern this cafe was with a warehouse/minimalistic vibe. There wasn't even a sign or name of the place, we just walked right in.
