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.

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.

This is a very cool cafe. You walk in & it smells so lovely. I got a chai latte that was tasty & loved the spices, but it was way too sweet for me. I should have asked to have it made half sweet. My boyfriend got a flat white & he said it was delicious.

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!

Loved this cozy cafe. There was a steady stream of customers but the atmosphere was relaxed. The service was friendly & prompt, & my latte was delicious.

Je recommande l'endroit, la petite terrasse extérieur (plutôt des bancs) c'est hyper agréable.
Même l'intérieur est sympa juste un peu petit & pas très lumineux.
J'ai pris un iced latte, dommage de faire payer en supplément le lait d'avoine :/ Il était bon, mais un goût assez amer.
