The female barista was so polite & lovely to us! She even very kindly let my partner wash his hands behind the counter after eating. The pastries were excellent, although I wish they could have been warmed a bit. We did feel a bit rushed by the other employee. But the wait wasn't very long at all & the chai my partner got was very well spiced. My cappuccino was perfect too.

A café that reminds me of home in Toronto. As a tourist, I was pleasantly surprised that such an atmospheric café could be hiding in Old Quebec! The service was lovely & the detailed care put into our drinks was fascinating to watch. The canele were very well made & perfectly soft inside, but kept the burnt aroma around it. Additionally, brioche bun was filled with this delicious mascarpone-like cream. It's important to note however that there are no prices listed for the pastries. Overall, not too bad!

Such a cool place. We loved the design & vibe of the place as much as the great tasting coffee! The long, curve-shaped marble table top with seating for many people is a great use of space but also gives a nice flow to the place. The atmosphere is very organic with earth tones, plants, beautiful ceramic cups & chill music. It's a great place to go by yourself or connect with others. The service is warm & friendly too! We visited Quebec City from Toronto. We love the people, French culture & food of Quebec City. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

Yesterday we visited this café for coffee & croissants, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing.
When we sat down, the table had not been cleaned - there were two glasses of water & used napkins left behind. Even after our coffee was served, no one came to clear or clean the table, so we had to move everything ourselves.
The service felt inattentive, & the staff didn't seem welcoming. As for the coffee & croissant, they were quite average & not worth the visit.
We paid around $20 for two single espressos & one chocolate croissant, which in my opinion was not worth it at all.
Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, & I wouldn't return.
