The coffee is excellent & the ambience was pleasing. The down-side is the counter staff seemed annoyed & continued to rush us even though there were three of us & only one had orders yet. The staff forgot muffin & even then it took awhile for it to arrive at the counter. The muffin was refrigerator cold on the inside so definitely not fresh

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.

I used to enjoy the coffee here, but my last visit on March 26, 2026, was very disappointing. I ordered a salted caramel latte, & it was not tasty at all. My boyfriend had an espresso, which tasted burnt & overly bitter. Unfortunately, we couldn't even finish our drinks. It's a shame because this place used to be great, I hope they improve their quality again.

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.
