The staff were very friendly & patient with me while I tried to order in French.
The vanilla latte & matcha latte were perfect (about 7cad for large(grand). Not too sweet & the matcha was not too bitter. We also ordered a raspberry cheesecake which was a perfect balance of creamy, sweet & a bit tart. Very satisfied with our afternoon pick me up.

A very nice chain of cafes in Quebec. We've stopped many times at several locations in & around Old Quebec. Always a positive experience. This particular location has some cute seats outside where you can enjoy when the weather is nice. You can sit there & enjoy some delicious treats & sandwiches, drinks, conversation, & even people watching. The drinks are always delicious. I feel the pricing & portion servings are decent. The staff is always helpful & professional, while also being friendly. Highly recommended.

So comfortable in many ways: service, music, installations... good quality & all the products. After a good walk in the streets & the cool weather of Quebec, it's so comfortable to go in & drink a hot drink.

Great experience! Étienne was super helpful, even grabbing the ingredient binder to answer my questions about the banana bread. The blond barista was lovely, & the coffee & vibes were spot on. Wish we had one in South Shore Montreal!

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.
