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.

10378392/10 stars for coffee, vibes, & value. There's absolutely no reason to go to a chain cafe when you have a coffee shop like this in the neighbourhood.

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.

As a tea lover who seeks out chai in every travel, the chai at Cantook was a win! Though not homemade, the Say When Grizzly Chai concentrate they use is excellent. It is a less sweet, more spicy mix (aka the perfect amount of sweet with a balanced spiciness) that sings. This chai snob recommends.

À mon goût, le meilleur café à Québec. L'espresso court est goûteux & percutant! Tables & chaises sur la rue en saison. Articles pour caféinomanes.

This is a very cool cafe. You walk in & it smells so lovely. I got a chai latte that was tasty & loved the spices, but it was way too sweet for me. I should have asked to have it made half sweet. My boyfriend got a flat white & he said it was delicious.

Ordered: flat white, hazelnut chocolate chip cookie, & iced chai.

The flat white was smooth & a little nutty, not at all sour, & server at the right temperature. A 5/5 coffee. As a sweet treat, the cookie was tasty, with large chunks of hazelnut, & paired nicely with the coffee. There was another occasion when I tried the matcha cookie which is probably made with almond flour. The chocolate chip cookie wins decisively against it.

Incredibly, despite how tasty & well-made the coffee was, the iced chai stole the show. Richly milky, probably sweetened with some homemade flavored syrup, & spiced the right amount, it's without a doubt the best I have ever tried. Highly recommend.

Good service. Welcoming to our pet. Smell of coffee in here is ridiculous. & pretty coffee art. If I own a coffee shop, I would own something like this. A good neighborhood shop. They have comfortable chairs outside on a Sunday morning. They are empty but I can't say for later on in the day.

Best coffee shop in town. I had an excellent Citron & Dirty Chai Latte glacé. Seating inside & some outside. Friendly & quick. Great place to read a book & unwind. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby.
