Review Summary

Cantook Micro Torréfaction is widely regarded as a premier destination in Quebec City, celebrated for its high quality, consistently flavorful coffee and welcoming, cozy atmosphere. Visitors frequently praise the expertise of the staff and the diverse selection of expertly roasted beans available for purchase, often noting that the beverages, such as the flat white, cortado, and mocha, are among the best in the city. While the shop is small with limited indoor seating, the charming decor and pleasant street-side benches provide a lovely experience for patrons. Although a few reviewers mentioned frustrations regarding online order management and subscription cancellations, the general consensus remains overwhelmingly positive, with many customers recommending it as a must-visit spot that surpasses large commercial chains.

I order their coffee beans all the way from Orillia, Ontario! I love trying speciality coffee roasters & find Cantook has very unique flavour profiles & high quality beans that make the shipping highly worth it. My favourite is Carmelo!

Nice coffee shop, flat white was really nice & their chai latte was one of the best in the town so far. Not too swet & i was able to taste the spices. They sell recently roasted coffee beans & they can also blend them for filtered coffee. Good place to grab a coffee & go. Not much options for desserts but there are plenty of bakeries nearby.

Coffee so good, I came back twice!

The shop was on my list to grab a bag of beans & coffee.

With so many cafe options, this is definitely the spot for a consistent & flavourful coffee.

I wish more people would stop & shop here rather than the golden arches & the green seattle brand.

Support your local coffee shops & enjoy better coffee!

My review comes off shipping & delivery problems. The coffee was good & the atmosphere pleasant. I started ordering beans on a regular basis without issue. However the last order my address was not updated correctly. I informed them immediately - 5 minutes after placing the order. No response. I sent several emails - no response. Days later, they said it was too late to fix the issue. The excuse was they are a small business & understaffed. I guess this meant they don't have time to check emails. Also, no phone number to be found anywhere ..... poor poor service, if you own a business then you should run a business - properly. They can say goodbye to this customer & others who ask me.

In addition to a full menu of espresso drinks & pour overs, they also have a huge selection of small batch roasted beans available for purchase in increments of 100g. I had a Costa Rican brewed in a Chemex. It was excellent & very reasonably priced. A few tables inside & on the sidewalk outside the store are the seating options. The location is on a nice street a few hundred yards away from the busy streets in old town. Highly recommend their coffee.

Loved it. Very much a micro roaster with a cafe attached, which to me is heaven. So many beans available.

The Ethiopian bean on filter coffee today was fantastic, tea body, bright & fruity. My partner loved her iced Americano also.

Good coffee. I got their beans this time as well & they're holding up.

They have very little seating & it's more suitable if you're going alone or with just one person but it's a lovely view. I spent a pleasant half an hour here drinking my coffee & reading my book.

Stopped by every day on our visit. Such good coffee & I'm having withdrawals already. We got iced & hot lattes & they were superb. Price was amazing, too. Helpful, kind staff. Great location. We brought home some beans for our espresso machine but already scheming a way to go back just for this coffee

Amazing coffee! We got the pour over one day (you can choose your own beans) & came back for the cold brew. You can see the cold brew being made in the cafe - very cool! Would highly recommend.
