It's cute but nothing to write home about.

As was requested by the owner, I am expanding on my review.

As stated above, the facility is cute & well maintained (clean). The issues I had were staff members who seemed uninterested in providing any type of assistance. My thirteen year old daughter had a few questions on the macaroons (she has visited & consumed these from around the globe), & the counter person refused to answer her. I had to finally ask myself with a slightly elevated voice.

The presentation was terrible. They were tossed in a box with no care at all. Half were ruined.

While paying, I had to grab my wallet from my wife, & they were grumbling even though I was the only person in line.

Overall, it is not worth the time to stop in as Quebec City has many more family-friendly shops to pop in for to grab snacks. Though if you're in Quebec seeking that Parisian rudeness Paris is famous for - this is your place.

Petit-déjeuner pris sur place avant une bonne balade, avec au menu un très grand café maison accompagné d'un banana bread.

Le gâteau était très bon (peu sucré, j'apprécie) & très gros, le café basique, sans plus.

Le prix payé était très correct.

Pas mal de choix au niveau des viennoiseries & cafés/thés.

L'intérieur est propre & bien décoré, je recommande pour une petite pause gourmande ou même un déjeuner.
