Les croissants aux amandes sont succulents & évidemment leurs cafés ont déjà une réputation nationale!

My hubby & I LOVE this cafe. We are there daily during our stays in Quebec City. Perfect coffee & baked goods - always satisfied.

This photo was taken on a Monday morning after our walk to the cafe before our trip back home. Close walking distance from our stay at the Hilton Quebec hotel.

Ordered a caramel latte & cappuccino, cheese bun & almond croissants.

We were fortunate to meet the owner of the cafe during our exit - very nice gentleman. We will be back soon! :)

In general it is one of my favorite café however I think there is room for improvement. Carré aux fraises was still half frozen, & the coffee was in the boiling temperature. The person who handed me told me it is hot, but I don't think filter coffee should be served at such temperature.

While I was using the restroom, they tossed out my coffee, which was in a to go cup. I probably should have taken my coffee with me. But that was my table 🤔
The person offered me coffee again which was nice of her. But the coffee was just then in the right temperature. So it was a bit unpleasant.

Been here a few times & i like it, but the most recent time i came & ordered a cafe doré, they said they didn't have it anymore & they could make me a dirty chai, i asked for just a chai, to go cuz i was in a rush. they gave me a dirty chai for here. It was definitely for me because there was no one else there. Other than that i really do like the place! & I get that mistakes happen. I still recommend this to any others in vieux quebec

Walked by this cafe to order a coffee. Place looks nice & thought coffee would be great. Service was slow considering it wasn't busy & we didn't order anything complicated. First an Americano. Took 5-10 minutes & only 1 person ahead of us. Later I went & ordered a Latte - about 5 minutes too. & surprisingly both coffees were sort of cool… not sure how when it's made fresh. Flavour was good. Good roasted coffee but disappointed a bit. I know it's a chain. Maybe it's better in other locations.

Malgré que le café n'y soit pas mauvais, le service n'est pas bon du tout. Attendre 15 minutes pour un café, debout dans un coin, du pour au final qu'il n'ait jamais été mis en préparation ce n'est pas possible. Peut être un oubli mais dans tout les cas le système de service n'est pas au point, l'impression d'être dans une salle d'attente, sans sièges... Pas ce que j'attends d'un café.
