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.

Excellent coffee. I've never had tea with espresso before but it's something I've never tried elsewhere & it was excellent. Little bites & atmosphere were also lovely.

Excellent coffee (& unbelievable prices)! They don't sell food (just some small cookies) so I suggest buying a pastry from the patisserie nearby & sitting outside with your coffee.

Delicious coffee! & I am not even a coffee person. The decaf iced mocha was smooth, perfectly blended, & balanced. Not too sweet or sharp. The cortado was airy & smooth, one of the best I've had in North America (though not as good as in Barcelona). I did not have to add sugar to any drink, which is very rare, because it was so well balanced. Plant milk options. Cute decor, & not too far from the old quarters, in a charming neighborhood right outside the walled portion of the city. The best part of the experience was Rosemary, the barista, who was patient, friendly, & made the drinks perfectly.

Moccacino (mocha latte) was great. Blondie (which was kind of like coffee cake) was delicious too. Cute little benches right outside
