The best lattee I've had since coming to Canada! Velvety smooth & the espresso is AMAZING, a nice light taste that isn't burnt or too bitter. They have an amazing selection of fresh beans to buy as well & the staff is very friendly! If you're a coffee connoisseur in Quebec city, Cantook is a must!

Lives up to the hype! Had there drip which was some type of bean from Costa Rica. Tasted delicious. I really did not spend to much time inside store so did not get a good sense of how it would be there to stay for a while but seems chill & staff is friendly & efficient at their job.

This coffee roastery roasts coffee from various countries around the world such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Indonesia & Africa itself. Coffee beans can be bought whole for use at home or freshly ground in the store. Comfortably furnished, the perfect place for coffee to start the day. Unfortunately, there are no croissants or pastries on offer for breakfast, which you could enjoy with the delicious coffee.

I can't comment on the food/cookies. The coffee selection is large & the staff have a good know-how on where the coffee has been harvested & how they have been processed. I believe they have direct contact to some of the plantations in Costa Rica & are directly involved in parts of the process. They are very helpful with any questions you may have in regards to the different coffee beans they sell & take their time. The atmosphere is cozy. Recommend to come here!

Dropped in during Quebec City trip. Nice shop, lots to offer. In addition to getting your caffeine fix (multiple options), there's some accessories available & of course coffee beans. Very reasonable prices too & friendly service. I picked up their monthly special (a Costa Rican) to bring home & it is wonderful. Wish I had gotten more. Will drop in next trip for sure.

Super busy in the morning but only 2 workers - 1 taking orders & 1 making drinks, the cashier helped when possible but drinks took quite long. I ordered a cappuccino which was delicious, but it wasn't really a cappuccino, it was more like a latte. Not the best in Québec in my opinion, but a lovely choice if you're in the area. Curious to try the beans but had no space in my carry on to bring it home (sad face).

The best cafe in Quebec city. They have medium roasted beans here with a variety of blend & single origin coffee. I tried an espresso & a V60 & they were both really good. Highly recommend!
