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.

Our favorite spot for a breakfast pastry & coffee while taking in Old Quebec. The selection os pastries is outstanding. The servers do a masterful job in preparing espresso, lattes & other beverages. The café is small & cozy. Very welcoming.

Another amazing place in Quebec City. Coffee & Caprese Sandwich was amazing. Coffee does not come overly hot which I actually like very much.

Nice atmosphere. The place was also very clean. I loved the coffees & lattes. They also had delicious treats. The prices felt decent, especially considering that the products had great presentation.
