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.

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

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.

As an aspiring coffee snob, I would say that this is the best espresso I've had so far in Qu

This cafe is my first coffee in Quebec City! The store looks tidy & stylish. I was excited to try their drinks more after I stepped in the store. There is a nice latter art on my cup. The espresso tastes fruity first, & tasted nutty afterwards. My favourite flat white in the downtown area during this trip!

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

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!
