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.

We came here 5 years ago & looked for it again in a short visit. Wonderful coffee & a beautiful space just outside of the hustle of the touristy old port.

The best cappuccino of Quebec so far. Wonderful place with a mini terrace with awesome views to St. John Baptist church.

Excellent coffee, roasted on site. Knowledgeable staff. There are a few seats inside & more outside. They don't serve food but had some pastries on the counter. The Americano coffee was strong & one of the best I've ever had. Good prices too. Cantook is a short walk from the old city walls on Rue St. Jean. It will be our regular coffee shop during our 4 month stay in Old QC

Uber cool petits torréfacteurs. Bonne sélection d'une variété de haricots entiers & ils les broient sur place pour vous. Bons expressos, lattés, etc. Bel endroit pour sortir.

This coffee roastery roasts coffee from various countries around the world such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Indonesia & Africa itself. Coffee beans can be bought whole for use at home or freshly ground in the store. Comfortably furnished, the perfect place for coffee to start the day. Unfortunately, there are no croissants or pastries on offer for breakfast, which you could enjoy with the delicious coffee.
