Nettes Café mit gutem Kaffee. Leider im Pappbecher serviert obwohl ich nach Tassen gefragt habe, auch wenn man zum Verzehr bleibt und Tassen auf der Kaffeemaschine stehen.

Agréable café avec un bon café. Malheureusement servi dans un gobelet en papier bien que j'aie demandé des tasses, même si vous restez pour la consommation & que les tasses sont sur la machine à café.

Nice cozy café experience. I ordered a latte - smooth coffee taste, creamy milk, & perfectly balanced. The atmosphere was relaxing & good for chilling or talking with friends. Service was good too. Would definitely come again.'

Stopped by this Café in downtown Quebec after hearing a lot of recommendations, so expectations were fairly high. The café itself has a nice atmosphere & good location, but honestly the food & coffee experience felt pretty average to me.

Tried the croissants & they were okay, but nothing particularly memorable or different from what you can find at many other cafés. Same with the coffee decent enough, but it didn't really stand out in flavor or quality considering the hype around the place.

Not a bad experience overall, just not something that personally lived up to the expectations.
