Good coffee, excellent pastries. Popular, so be prepared to wait in line a bit for your order. I prefer this location (Des Jardins, upper city just below the Chateau Frontenac) with its limited bar seating, to the Notre Dame location, with outdoor tables that always seem to be completely occupied.

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.

Les croisants & pain au chocolat pourraient être améliorés : plus moelleux à l'intérieur & bien croustillant à l'extérieur donc plus de beurre dans la préparation. Les autres produits sont bons.

Nice little cafe opposite the city hall with a lot of breakfast & pastry options. There's a cute little outside seating area but make sure you sit under the umbrellas to avoid the birds. There's a lot of construction going on in the area. So the entrance is a little hidden, but easy to find using Google maps.

Had a great chocolate croissant while in town! Pictures don’t do it justice.

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.

Trés bon café mais aucune table normale permettant à une personne à mobilité réduite de s'asseoir . En 2013, avoir seulement des stool, c'est rétrograde.

En réponse à votre commentaire comme quoi la terrasse est accessible, j'ajouterai qu'il y avait des averses torrentielles cette journée-là & que j'ai effectivement dû aller chercher moi-même une chaise mouillée sur la terrasse, déplacer une de vos tables hautes pour y placer la chaise, prendre une caisse de lait qui trainait sous le comptoir (haut) pour en faire une table afin que nous puissions être assis pour prendre notre café.
