Probably one of my favorite coffee place out there. They have many vegan options in terms of food & sweets as well as a wide selection of tea to choose from!
The staff is also always super sweet

Un coup de coeur depuis longtemps! Bons produits, excellents breuvages, dont leur fameux bubble tea, faits avec du vrai thé (sans la poudre), service très sympathique, ambiance très chaleureuse, & un excellent endroit autant pour travailler, étudier que juste jaser ou aller lire un livre relax. Le seul bémol, pour ma part, c'est le manque de variété de'repas' & le manque d'options plus'nourrissantes'. Il y a des choix, oui, mais il pourrait y avoir 2-3 ajouts au menu afin de compléter davantage leur menu ;). Sinon, je le répète, c'est mon coup de coeur. Ils ont une excellente variété de breuvages, ils vendent aussi leurs produits, des bulles pour faire votre propre bubble tea, des collations & l'été, de la crème glacée de saveurs variées au cours de la saison.

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.

Really good selection of tea here, with a ton of options to choose from. The tea is really nice & high quality. There's a ton of food options. The banh-mi isn't really a banh-mi though, more of a regular sandwich on soft bread with some pickled vegetables. The outdoor seating area is really nice though, & the staff are absolutely fantastic.

Really cute cafe with friendly staff.
We actually planned to go somewhere else, but as we passed by, the atmosphere & the options for breakfast/brunch made us stay in the Café Pékoe.
There are not that many vegan choices, but the one I had - the vegepate Sandwich - was delicious. If you’re not vegan there’s a lot of other options in bagels & sandwiches. Plus the coffee is amazing! It’s not that strong, which made it the best coffee I had while traveling Quebec.
Also I really appreciated the atmosphere. A few people where just chatting, or getting a quick coffee, some seemed to study or read. I’d definitely come back for a study session or just another coffee!
