5.0

Café Apotek is a cozy little gem tucked away in Old Québec's Vieux-Port, known for its minimalist Nordic vibe & top-tier coffee. Housed in a charming 19th-century building, it serves up expertly crafted espresso drinks & matcha lattes, along with beautiful house-made pastries like cardamom buns, mascarpone-raspberry rolls, & Basque cheesecake. The space is small with limited seating & no restroom, so it's better suited for a quick coffee break than a long hangout-but the quality & attention to detail make it a worthwhile stop for anyone who appreciates a great café experience.

A pretty cafe in Quebec City, the location is very nice. Matcha was good quality but a bit watery, sweetness is perfect but if u like really sweet matcha ask for extra sweet. Unfortunately most of the pastries were out of stock so I didn't get to try any. Ppl r very friendly though!

this has hands down the best coffee in town & pastries! i've been to La Cabra in both CPH & NYC - it reminded me a lot of the days i've spent living in copenhagen & the NY branch does not even come close to the quality here.
