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.

Je suis revenu dans cet établissement après de nombreuses années, pour me faire traiter de manière très grossière par la jeune femme au comptoir. Quelle différence par rapport à l'amabilité dont on faisait preuve il y a quelques années ! J'ai également trouvé les messages politiques affichés un peu partout dans le lieu de mauvais goût & d'une ignorance crasse. Ces faux environnements « anticapitalistes » sont toujours les mêmes : on déteste les riches, mais on adore gagner de l'argent en vendant du café hors de prix. C'est embarrassant.

I order their coffee beans all the way from Orillia, Ontario! I love trying speciality coffee roasters & find Cantook has very unique flavour profiles & high quality beans that make the shipping highly worth it. My favourite is Carmelo!

Small coffee store. Limited seating space. Good coffee & friendly staffs. It's has a good vibe. Coffee is good & fresh. Definitely worth trying out if you are in the area.

If you're in a rush, don't come here. I know pour overs take a long time, but I don't need to wait 10 minutes after I order for you to start the kettle.

The cookie & the mocha coffee were incredible. The staff were friendly & gracious. The mocha had a very unique flavor. At first, I tasted chocolate, but a couple of seconds later, the coffee notes came through beautifully.
