The best coffee of old Québec in my opinion

Egg salad tastes great! Veggie quiche tastes below average.

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience here. There was a misunderstanding with our order, & while mistakes happen, the way it was handled came across as unfriendly & dismissive. There was no apology or effort to clarify the situation, which made the interaction feel unnecessarily cold. Will likely never come back.

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.

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.
