Good choice of food, pastries, BLTs etc Buzzy fun atmosphere Terrible coffee. Stuck in the past with their own strict ideas of espresso to milk ratios. All milk frothed as much as possible & all froth in your cup like it or not. Thirty years ago in Calgary they caught on to flat whites.

Cappacino was nothing to get excited about. Average to below average at best.

The cafe has its ups & downs. The food was just okay, but the pastries were quite good, & the coffee was excellent. However, our experience was marred by a frustrating mix-up. We ordered chocolate croissants, but they gave us plain ones instead. After returning them twice, we were finally told they were out of chocolate croissants. It was a disappointing experience that could have been easily avoided with better communication. While the coffee & pastries were highlights, the service needs improvement.

Nice place with a good ambiance. They have the cafe on the left & a bar on the right. We went for a glass of Sleeman, a hot chocolate, a lemonade & fries. Loved them all. They give chips along with the beer (no extra charge). The staff was friendly & nice. It's a pedestrian only street so you may need to walk a bit to reach here after parking nearby (underground parking of D'Youville is only few minutes away). There's seating space inside as well as outside. Definitely recommended!

Finding a well-proportioned matcha latte has been difficult in Quebec City, & this shop has come the closest, although a stronger matcha presence would tip the scales. I opted for unsweetened, as is my preference, & with oat milk. The brand of oat milk used is not one of the better barista brands available, but it was still tasty & helped scratch my matcha itch. What needs improvement is the service. In a city where customer service has been impressively friendly, this place was unwelcoming. The woman working the register was icy at best, rude to every single person in line, native speaker or not. Maybe she was having a bad day, but she shouldn't be customer-facing.

Although there can be long lines, it does go by fast. The pastries are amazing but pricey. The coffee is delish. Some indoor seating & outdoor patio when it's not raining. I think this is a chain cafe as I saw more than one.

Awesome coffee. Only place in town that can do espresso "long" pull without it being acidic. Pastry was always delicious. We only came here for our morning coffee routine & came here everyday we were staying in Vieux Quebec. Don't expect too much service because they are only staffed for ordering & making your order. But they do not discriminate. Come in, place your order on the counter & seat & clean after yourself. Simple. We checked out another coffee shop by the university that had great ratings for their coffee, but as soon as we walked in & greeted, we were immediately judged for not speaking French.
