Les croissants aux amandes sont succulents & évidemment leurs cafés ont déjà une réputation nationale!

My hubby & I LOVE this cafe. We are there daily during our stays in Quebec City. Perfect coffee & baked goods - always satisfied.

This photo was taken on a Monday morning after our walk to the cafe before our trip back home. Close walking distance from our stay at the Hilton Quebec hotel.

Ordered a caramel latte & cappuccino, cheese bun & almond croissants.

We were fortunate to meet the owner of the cafe during our exit - very nice gentleman. We will be back soon! :)

The coffee was good but the pastries (croissants & waffles) were so bad we did not eat them. Staff was friendly & atmosphere was fine.

I was looking for a'not so big' breakfast experience. Some nice coffee & a pastry, or something light, or European. This spot hit the nail on the head! So much so, we went back twice (& that's saying a lot, given all the available choices). We shared a lovely slice of quiche Lorraine & an awesome croissant while sipping some quality coffee (nothing fancy in this case - just straight up Americano - but it tasted great)! Very friendly staff, nice music, & great people-watching from the counter (this was the St-Jean location). Highly recommend!

Excellent croissants. My mocha was not very hot & they told me they were unable to warm it up for me. I was a little disappointed in that, but it did taste good.

We ate here 3 different times for brunch/lunch. Enjoyed the giant croissants with jam & delicious lattes. Also had a tasty ham & cheese croissant. The smoked meat & cheese sandwiches were excellent.
