Short stop for a Cofee & a small snack breakfast . Popular place & long line this morning but it goes by quickly .

I was not too hungry but I found the perfect sized breakfast pastry : Portuguese tart. Also known as Pastel Nata it was a pleasant surprise to see this in the case . It is the ideal three bite snack filled with creamy custard & a slight caramel cinnamon taste . Perfect .

In the case I saw also vegan galette which was a plus .

Coffee was strong & robust . Americano on ice refreshing & well made .

A good place for a quick snack & coffee .

While they may not bake their own pastries, they select from a quality supplier that offers tasty treats. Their coffee & tea are also quite enjoyable. If you're in Quebec Old Town, it's definitely worth a visit.

They have vegan options. The sandwich was okay & the galette a bit dry. The coffee was excellent. I had a decaf oat milk latte. I prefer this compared to other chains like Starbucks & Second Cup. They are only located around the Quebec City area as I have not seen one in Montreal.

Never seen such disorganized staff! Talking to each other when dealing with customers & not keeping the correct line of queue with orders. The coffee & the pastries were good though!

Just the right spot to sit down, sip a good coffee & listen to the street performance. The red velvet macaron was the perfect accompaniment to elevate the boldness of the cappuccino. My wife very much enjoyed her dragon pearl tea which I could smell the floral aroma from across the table.

Several visits for coffee & breakfast, week of September 1st, 2025 as this was a convenient location from our hotel. As with the other locations, always great to visit. Exceptional coffee, teas, pastries & sandwiches. Staff friendly, professional & helpful. Outdoor seasonal seating, washrooms & good street views. Good to work at tables.

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.
