My boyfriend & I are still raving about our experience at this coffee establishment. The coffee was some of the freshest & best tasting coffee ever. If you sit in the way it is served is also so cool down to the cups the coffee is served in. Totally recommend & hope to be back soon!

J'ai adoré ce café! La musique est bonne & pas trop forte & c'est très beau à l'intérieur. La nourriture était super bonne, simple mais de qualité. Le sandwich beurre fouetté au miel & mont-d'or était délicieux, ainsi que cette petite pâtisserie pistache & fraises. Le service était « correct », mais j'y retournerai absolument.

This Scandinavian-inspired cafe is a little gem in Quebec City.
I was very happy with my cafes, both the cortado & the chai, which flavour was very rich.
The bread of the danish breakfast was amazing, healthy, not salty & full of seeds. I also appreciated the cassis compote & the egg (perfectly runny inside!) & whipped butter.
My granola - on the first day - was really good & the yoghurt was Greek.
The second day they clearly changed with regular vanilla yoghurt & it made the whole thing very sweet (usually I take it for the proteins of the Greek yoghurt). So I wish this was communicated to me.
The cinnamon swirl was truly too sweet - the sugar coating outside was not needed & the canele was nice but without rum (I think it's fair if they announce it, because if people expect the same from Bordeaux it's not the case).
I was very surprised not to find cardamom buns given the Nordic inspiration of the cafe.
This said, the place is amazing & staff is friendly & trained in latte art (but take your time: mostly they are alone - one person at least for the drinks- so you have to wait). I do recommend it!
