The almond croissant was delicious that I went back in the afternoon to get some more for the trip. The chicken wrap was also good. However, I didn't like the pistachio coffee as it didn't taste anything like pistachios & the coffee was dark roasted which probably overpowered the pistachios flavour. Little too pricey given the location of the cafe. It's close to all the touristy places in old city.

A rather small café in the heart of Quebec's old city, but great to start your day with a croissant or cinnamon roll. Enjoy!

Pas de la grande boulangerie. Bien en dépannage mais c’est pas le meilleur endroit pour prendre un bon petit déjeuner à mon goût. Je vais être plus précise dans mes explications. Pâtisserie sèche pour la gaufre & le croissant. & pour la brioche à la cannelle il y a une sorte de pâte marron quand on le déroule, bizarre, & qu’on vienne pas me dire que c’est la cannelle qui fait ça.

Visited this shop 3 times while on vacation. The London fog was very good & the almond croissant was excellent. The cafe has a nice atmosphere with seating inside & on a patio.
