I very rarely review places. But I recently traveled to Quebec City from Florida & was blown away by this place. Absolute perfection. The cardamom bun was one of the best pastries I've ever had in my life. The Danish breakfast was superb, especially their poppy seed bread. I was skeptical about the matcha since they said it was pre-sweetened but it turned out to be extremely good & high-quality. Incredible canele & pan suisse too. On our way out, we asked the barista for help getting to our next location & he was very friendly & took the time to offer advice about where to go. Great vibes & long line which speaks to its popularity. I wish I lived closer!

We ordered a matcha latte & a matcha limo, both were delicious! The store could use some signage outside & improving their outdoor look, we almost walked past not realizing the cafe was still open!

J'ai pris à emporter un Matcha qui était super bon, & un cannelé légèrement trop cuit à mon goût mais ça dépend des goûts de chacun ! Il était tout de même très bon 👌🏼

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.

Cannelé croquant en surface & moelleux à l'intérieur. Le matcha latte est incroyablement délicieux. Oncteux & légèrement sucré (le lait?). Le seul bémol est qu'il n'y a pas de toilettes. J'y reviendrai pour le matcha & les pâtisseries.

The cappuccino & pastry are delicious & delightful! The matcha latte is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the overall experience was wonderful! I enjoyed it so much that I bought another canelé on my last day.
