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.

Best coffee shop in the area. Their coffee is delicious, they have lots of alternative milk options & actually know how to steam them properly. The seating outside is also super nice.

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.

Super cute & lovely atmosphere. The coffee is really good & they have a good balance of sweetness for the mocha. Also cool to see they roast coffee in house. If I had one thing I would change, that would be more seating inside to enjoy the decorations. Definitely will come back next time I am in Quebec!

Cantook is hands down one of the cutest coffee shops in Quebec City. The vibe is cozy & inviting, with a perfect mix of rustic charm & modern comfort. The coffee? Absolutely delicious - rich, smooth, & clearly crafted with care.

The staff are friendly & passionate about what they do, which adds to the welcoming feel. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or sitting down to enjoy a slow morning, Cantook is the perfect spot. A must-visit for coffee lovers & anyone who appreciates good energy & great taste!

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.

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.
