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.

Super busy in the morning but only 2 workers - 1 taking orders & 1 making drinks, the cashier helped when possible but drinks took quite long. I ordered a cappuccino which was delicious, but it wasn't really a cappuccino, it was more like a latte. Not the best in Québec in my opinion, but a lovely choice if you're in the area. Curious to try the beans but had no space in my carry on to bring it home (sad face).

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!

Delicious coffee roasted on site (the roaster is right out on the floor for all to admire), helpful staff, & a museum-like display of coffee roasting, grinding, & brewing equipment.
