So yummy. Excellent oat milk latte & cappuccino. Can't really tell you what the pastries were but they were amazing. Seasonal strawberry brioche thing (the BEST) & some raspberry tart. Staff is so friendly & knowledgeable.

Unimpressed. They have a single sample of each over priced pastry they sell. Felt very bare bones. Drove 15 min based on their reviews & then found a way better deal for six pastries at the super market. Not paying $7 for a small cinnamon roll

Unique, artisanal coffee shop with seasonal pastries. Peach tarte & Basque cheesecake pictured. The floral arrangements are real & so beautiful.

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.

Nice cafe. Great coffee, friendly staff.

Cool interior design.

Also you can see the bakery in the back so you know all the pasties are super fresh.

Café au décor minimaliste avec un très bon service. Les desserts sont excellents & les boissons sont très bien préparées. C'est un peu cher pour un café mais les produits sont très bons donc ça vaut son prix selon nous. Peu fréquenté un midi de semaine, donc il y avait quand même de la place pour s'asseoir.
