Amazing coffee! We got the pour over one day (you can choose your own beans) & came back for the cold brew. You can see the cold brew being made in the cafe - very cool! Would highly recommend.

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!

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!
