Great cafe with very tasty sweet pastries & good savory options as well. The quiche is a quick & satisfying lunch option, & both the coffee & hot chocolate are excellent. I kept coming back during my trip for breakfast & snacks.

Bustling yet cozy with great snack food & service. Located in Old Quebec it is a great way to quickly recharge or spend longer & catchup with friends & family. They even made fancy designs in my childrens' hot chocolate!

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.

Interior is nice. Service is also fine, people were nice & did their job well. But the pastries & coffee are absolutely horrible. When they ask you if you want your pain au chocolate warmed up that is a clear sign something is wrong. Flat white tasted horrendous - you can literally feel the cheapest beans used.

1st visit : Hands down, this is the best mocha & the best almond chocolate croissant that I've ever had. The mocha has actual melted chocolate 😋 Their hot chocolate is divine! Great atmosphere, busy place, lots of choice! Service is great. Kinda sad that they don't have a coffee shop in Montreal!

2nd visit : not the same mocha as I had the time before, mocha this time tastes like water unfortunately.

Gorgeous coffee shop on a magical street! Very instagrammable inside! There's plenty of seating, especially upstairs. You'll need to take a breather after walking the step hilly streets of Québec City! Maybe suggest the chocolat chaud- it's a divine hot chocolate topped with fresh vanilla whip cream. Oooh la la! They all spoke English here though QC is know for leaning more towards French with a side of English.
