Pensé q me iba a encontrar un mejor café, pero no se fue el caso y además hecho a las apuradas tirando la leche sin un poco de amor. Lo único bueno es el local porque el resto es de baja calidad.

This is a a downtown location of a very popular Quebec city chain of cafés. A very nice atmosphere, but I had better expectations given all the hype. Had a maple latté that I found mediocre in taste & in presentation. Service was below average & baristas did not seem to be very interested.

Donc après que la personne prend mal la commande, on m'a fait attendre 15minutes pour toutes les commandes qu'ils ont eu le temps que je réalise qu'ils m'ont oublié.

Au final, pour une place de café, il n'a aucun latte art.

Overall, 2/10

J'adore aller à ce café lorsque nous sommes à QC. Première fois qu'on allait à cette succursale & elle est encore plus belle que celle sur Des Jardins. Je voulais tester leur chocolat chaud du moment, au sirop de sapin baumier. Il n'y en avait malheureusement plus, alors ils ont eu la bonne idée de me proposer de le faire avec du sirop de lait de poule. Très bon :)

Dec2024 Popular trendy cafe chain that is a hybrid cafe & bistro. This particular outlet has a larger cut & is able to separate the two sections into two separate dining & service counter sections. The pastries at the cafe section are noticeable huge. Service is tourist friendly with very amiable english speaking staff. The areas are clean, rustic & compatible to the Upper Old Town area feel. Expect a large tourist trade with plenty of groups esp during cold seasons.
