Trés bonne expérience. Du bon café servi sur place dans des tasses en porcelaine. Une ambiance chaleureuse. Un service un peu à la traine mais souriant. Un seul reproche, les viennoiserie (croissant & chocolatine) sont beaucoup trop grosses, un croissant pour deux c'est suffisant. Elles gagneraient à être réduite de moitie.

Short stop for a Cofee & a small snack breakfast . Popular place & long line this morning but it goes by quickly .

I was not too hungry but I found the perfect sized breakfast pastry : Portuguese tart. Also known as Pastel Nata it was a pleasant surprise to see this in the case . It is the ideal three bite snack filled with creamy custard & a slight caramel cinnamon taste . Perfect .

In the case I saw also vegan galette which was a plus .

Coffee was strong & robust . Americano on ice refreshing & well made .

A good place for a quick snack & coffee .

Bustling yet cozy with great snack food & service. Located in Old Quebec it is a great way to quickly recharge or spend longer & catchup with friends & family. They even made fancy designs in my childrens' hot chocolate!

While they may not bake their own pastries, they select from a quality supplier that offers tasty treats. Their coffee & tea are also quite enjoyable. If you're in Quebec Old Town, it's definitely worth a visit.
