We stayed in a hotel around the corner & came here for breakfast over several days. Their pastries were amazing, quiche was exceptional, so were the coffees. Great value, good service, & plenty of comfortable seating. Very cozy atmosphere with a lot of unique decor.

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.

Great little café in a historic building in Old Quebec City. Varied collection of different pastries & nibbles along with smooth & delicious lattes. Can get a little busy at peak times as it's in a touristy area along a street filled with other shops & restaurants, but it's worth the wait. We stopped here for breakfast & enjoyed our drinks & eats but my partner did find that his bagel wasn't warmed up as much as he had hoped.

I always enjoy visiting this place when I'm in Quebec City. The coffee is good, the pastries delicious, & the setting is beautiful. However, today's visit left me a bit perplexed.

I was travelling with three seniors & decided to bring them here for coffee since I really like this place. One of my guests had ordered four medium coffees for us. They were served in large cups, but each cup was filled at most 60%. When I asked the staff member if she could top them up a bit more, she explained that since we ordered medium size, she couldn't add more coffee because the ceramic cups come only in small or large size (she even proceeded to show me them).

I felt a bit embaressed by the situation because I wanted to treat my guests to a nice experience, & we ended up drinking our coffees from cups that were partly filled. Maybe it would help if the medium size matched the cup size better or if there was a way to top up the coffee when needed.

Despite this I'll come back as I've been here many times & have always enjoyed it. I understand sometimes miscommunication may happen.

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.
