Nice cozy cafe near Old Quebec. Decent selections of drinks & pastries.

I went for Matcha Latte Blueberries (9.5/10) & Lemonade Matcha (7.5/10)

Recommend stopping by for a sip during your visit.

Great latte & croissant! The barista was friendly but the guy at the cash was pretty snotty, ruined the experience.

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.

Le latte à la pistache n'avait malheureusement aucun goût de pistache. & en plus, l'attente a été très longue.

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! :)

Très déçue, j'ai attendu longtemps en file pour commander un latte matcha, pour me faire dire que vous n'avez plus de matcha (même pas pour la journée spécifique mais que vous n'arrivez plus à le commander). Pourquoi ne pas indiquer sur le menu que vous n'avez pas de matcha à offrir? Les clients voient sur votre menu que vous avez du matcha & sont prêts à attendre en file pour le commander. Sachant que c'est un breuvage populaire, c'est quelque chose à considérer. Aussi, il n'y a pas vraiment d'options végétaliennes, les gens avec des intolérances ou régimes végétaliens l'apprécieraient énormément s'il y en avait!

Merci

Walked by this cafe to order a coffee. Place looks nice & thought coffee would be great. Service was slow considering it wasn't busy & we didn't order anything complicated. First an Americano. Took 5-10 minutes & only 1 person ahead of us. Later I went & ordered a Latte - about 5 minutes too. & surprisingly both coffees were sort of cool… not sure how when it's made fresh. Flavour was good. Good roasted coffee but disappointed a bit. I know it's a chain. Maybe it's better in other locations.
