Great cafe with a variety of coffee, sandwiches, quiches & desserts. I enjoyed the Ham & Bacon quiche, a breakfast bagel & a chocolate earthquake cake, the rest of the family enjoyed their meals as well. We visited for breakfast & dinner the following evening.

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.
