Absolutely loved this café! Located right in the heart of Old Quebec City, it's the perfect spot to relax. Our server was incredible - she handled everything herself & did a fantastic job. The service & products exceeded our expectations.

Considering the premium location, the prices are very reasonable. If you enjoy large drinks, you'll find them here - I ordered an XL latte & was simply thrilled. Also, they have amazing waffles worth trying. The atmosphere inside is very cozy & welcoming. Highly recommend!

Coffee was fine & well prepared & the croissants tasted day old. But we were more upset by the guy behind the cash. When in Quebec, we think that it is important to speak in French, & so we did. Despite understanding everything we said, the guy behind the cash refused to speak back to us in French, despite us responding only in French. He couldn't have been less disinterested in his job or more passive aggressive in disdain for us non-Francophones. We don't need to spend $25 for two croissants & two coffees just to have someone be so obvious in his disrespect for non-Francophones. We won't be back.
