This cafe had one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. Super rich, flavorful, & exactly what I needed. The place itself was great for working too. They had high comfy chairs facing the window, so you could just sit there for hours, enjoy the view, & get things done. The view was honestly beautiful & made the experience even better. The service was okay, nothing special, but no complaints either. They didn't have a lot of food or pastry choices, but whatever they had looked & tasted fresh. But really, the coffee was the star of the show. I'd come back just for that.

Great coffee spot with delicious pastries. Croissants are so airy & tasty. Chocolatine pastry a must try. & the abricot pastry so fresh & to die for. & last but not least almond croissant. & the maple late was so velvety smooth. Place was very clean & staff were super friendly & spoke French & English. Definitely stop in to this spot in Quebec City.
