We enjoyed our BeaverDog & Hazelnut BeaverTail. The employee was friendly but neutral. It was clean inside. Good experience.

This place is in a great location in Old Québec, especially if you're walking around Petit-Champlain & want a quick sweet snack. We tried the hazelnut chocolate & the brownie BeaverTail, along with a black coffee. The desserts were warm & filling, & the combination works well if you're in the mood for something sweet.

That said, the service was not very friendly, which took away from the overall experience a bit. Considering how busy & tourist-oriented this location is, a warmer attitude from the staff would have made a noticeable difference. It's still a convenient stop because of the location & the classic Canadian treat, but the service could definitely be improved.

I don't blame customer service as I was respectfully refused & replied. I can tell that they finish at 10PM (Sundays) & the store closes at 10PM so they had to deal with closing shift & cleaning before store closure. The store closes for clients at 10PM. We shall have the same service until 10PM, staff should have proper dedicated time to do their closing shift AFTER the store closes. The machines to make Beaver tails were cleaned & shut down 45 minutes before 10PM. Many clients & tourists got refused service including myself.

Delicious beaver tails & hot chocolates. Better than high end cafés in quebec city.
However, very limited room to sit & quite pricey ($30 for 2 beaver tails ans 2 hot chocolates)

Nice place to have beaver tail or poutine, not many places to sit

The beaver tail is basically a donut in another shape. We tried the one with hazelnut cream on top & were very surprised to see they also put sugar on top of nutella. Why? Nutella is already very sweet, why top it with sugar?
In conclusion, if you like something deep fried that is super sweet, come here. Otherwise, eat somewhere else.
