ES Café

Montrealissimo

5.0

Surprisingly, my AI assistant strongly advised me'not to waste your time stopping in this area.' But when I explained that I'd like to take a *halte routiere* at about this point in my route, it suggested ES Café à Lévis instead of a chain.

What a gem! The coffee was excellent, the food choice was great, & the service was incredibly smooth. It stood in stark contrast to a recent, chaotic experience at the'brand-name' coffee shop inside Hotel Lévesque in Rivière-du-Loup, which proves that the modern chain model just isn't working anymore. ES Café was a 30-minute oasis of hospitality.

Strategic advice for ES owners: Look into expanding into Rivière-du-Loup. There is a massive gap in the market there for your exact niche, & you would instantly win over travellers & hotel guests alike.

Excellent coffee. Chill place with a laid back ambiance. 90 minutes time limit, witch keeps people moving. I recommend the'big cookie'

Wonderful coffee shop! Stopped in before our drive home to Ottawa hoping for some delicious coffee & we weren't disappointed! Ordered a latte & an americano - delicious, high end coffee! I didn't want to latte to end! Also had breakfast sandwiches which were quite good (love the Dijon mayo). Service was fast & friendly. Beautiful seating area! Highly recommend!

(Went twice: once for teatime in the afternoon & once for takeout breakfast the next morning) Good brews & espresso. Hot chocolate is made from real chocolate. Choice of dark, milk & white chocolate. Wine & craft beers also available. The large cookie was satisfying. Clearly, given a good amount of butterly lovin'. Not the super soft & chewy kind but still had some crunch to it, which we personally prefer. Would order again. Breakfast was good. We ordered 2 classic eggs & bacon. Surprising lots of bacon (4 slices) & fruits (slice of watermelon, honey dew, cantaloupe, grapefruit but 2 grapes & 1 strawberry cut in 4...Haha!). Bread choice was great & comes with a drink (including even regular espresso based drinks). Their jam is good but the caramel spread is AMAZING. Rich & tasty. Strike that balance & it does not taste overly sweetened. Will definitely be back, especially if we stay at the Four Points again. The continental breakfast there is a RIP OFF. 15$/adults & 7$/kid but you get nothing...unless all you want is a coffee (which is free anyways at the hotel) & some store bought croissant & cold cuts. Pay more & go to ES, if you can.

The food is surprisingly excellent! This is a beautiful place to stop by for a cup of coffee & a croissant or Muffin( the banana & nuts one just delicious!). You have to try it if you are in Lèvis.

It’s a very large coffee shop in Levis. Like any other coffee shop you order your beverage & meal or snack at the main counter & they give you a number which you can leave on your table & the server brings it to you later. There’s a lot of space to sit. There’s a lot of parking space outside. We plan to explore this coffee, place a little bit more the next time we visit.
