Excellent food & selections. Nice to see a healthier choice in a touristy area that doesn't break the bank with prices. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a healthy & affordable lunch.

Been here a few times & i like it, but the most recent time i came & ordered a cafe doré, they said they didn't have it anymore & they could make me a dirty chai, i asked for just a chai, to go cuz i was in a rush. they gave me a dirty chai for here. It was definitely for me because there was no one else there. Other than that i really do like the place! & I get that mistakes happen. I still recommend this to any others in vieux quebec

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!
