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.

Looking for a café in the middle of the day & discovered this café on the way & give it a try. It is really good. The iced latte is strong & i can taste the coffee more stronger than the milk. They also have a variety selections of sandwiches, patisseries, cakes, & macaron. The cafe also connected to a bar just beside & it's convenient for people to choose.

I was hunting for a piece of chocolate cake in Quebec City when I came upon this cafe. A 5 year old picture of a slice of Avalanche Chocolate Cake enticed me to walk inside & get my own slice. Alas, that old picture of a slice of cake no longer exists. Now, they have little round cakes & they don't call them Avalanche Chocolate Cakes, but they are equally as delicious. The mousse is rich & the glazing is decadent. The price is high, which is one thing that remained the same from 5 years ago--but the quality is undeniable.
