Excellent coffee shop in the heart of St-Roch district.

We found this little gem by wandering along St-Joseph street. The atmosphere is relaxed & inviting. Their coffees are deliciously brewed. There's also a very decent selections of premium teas. My daughters LOVED their milk shakes & cookies. It is also dog friendly. Competitive prices for the quality of coffees, 10x better than Starbucks!

Staff bilingual & very courteous.

Highly recommend!

[Update August 2025]: We returned to this place & they delivered again! Coffee good as always & the smoke salmon sandwich made with perfection, every single element was done right: the bagel, the smoked salmon, the cream cheese & capers & onions, just meticulously prepared. Bravo to the team! While it's sad to see the declining retail industry in this neighborhood, I was relieved to see Cafe Pekoe alive & well.

Café with a few vegan options & limited gluten-free options. I had the dragon bol with tofu which is vegan & without the fried wonton it is gluten-free. It was good, but the portion size was small. I think double the quinoa would have been better. My partner had the banh mi with veggie paté & liked it, but it would have been nice if the veggie paté would have been warm. The pastry options offer quite a few vegan options including brownie, financier, two cookies & a berry square. There was also a chocolate energy ball that was vegan & gluten-free. My partner ordered the financier & brownie. The financier was quite good & not too sweet. The brownie was more cake like, but still good. The service was a bit slow. They bring it at the table when you eat in, but it took 10 to 15 min to get our salad & sandwich. For a cafe style take out place, it feels a bit long, but we did come at rush hour & they made every order to serve instead of prepping in advance. The decor was nice, & a lot of places to sit & even a few tables outside. They had an extensive drinks menu which we did not test this time, but it looked quite good.

OPCIONES VEGANAS Y AMBIENTE BOHEMIO!
Pedimos un sadwich vegano que estaba bastante bueno. El café es excelente.
El ambiente es muy bohemio y diferente de otras cafeterias. Más relajado.
La atención bastante agradable y la ubicación excelente.
Vale la pena darse la vuelta.👏

I wish I had a place like Cafe Pekoe near my home, as it was such a treat! The staff are great, the food is great, & the shop is unique. I really enjoyed their Dragon Salad & wish I had more time in Quebec just to eat it again, haha. Their Bahn Mi vegetarian pate was also very delicious. My partner enjoyed the bagel he had as well. The staff were great about checking for food allergies with a book they have right by the register.
Also, loved the Canadiano change on the menu ;)

J'ai découvert ce café par hasard & je suis ravie de l'avoir fait ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse & accueillante, parfaite pour se détendre ou travailler. Le personnel est souriant & serviable, toujours prêt à donner des conseils. J'ai commandé un bubble tea a la vanille & il était absolument délicieux : les perles de fraise étaient moelleuses & le goût était intense. Je recommande vivement ce café à tous les amateurs de bubble tea
