Found this gem 5 minutes walk from my hotel. Had the trio combo of soup of the day (pepper soup), grilled cheese sandwich (cochonné), and small coffee (Kenya drip coffee) for breakfast. You can even get latte for this combo if you want. Everything was delicious and I liked how I could go upstairs and sit in a quiet area to relax and people watch by the windows. I do wish I asked for my coffee later though. By itself, it's absolutely delicious... but it didn't go well with the pepper soup. And by the time I finished my sandwich and soup to work on my coffee, the coffee was cold. I could see myself coming back again if I lived here and didn't want to try other coffee shops. read more

Nice quiet place to get away from the crowds in the Main Street and enjoy some good food. Thank you.

Pleasant and friendly staff. The croissant was beyond good, it was perfect! Light, flaky, the almond filling was perfect without being overly sweet. Such a treat! Cappuccino was perfect, small size was just right! read more

I had a great breakfast the other day at this café. I ordered an iced latte with maple syrup and a key lime pie slice, and the key lime pie was so sweet and syrupy. I love key lime pie, and order it whenever it is available. This did not disappoint! The woman working the counter was very friendly and polite. This is a cute café when you're looking for a quick and easy meal. read more

There affogato was really good and so was their mochachino. We actually came back here a second time to get the affogato. The espresso was not overly bitter and the ice cream tasted of good quality. I recommend coming here if you want a good cup of Joe. They also have sandwiches and baked goods if you are craving for dessert. They close at 10pm so it's one of the few places that's open late. read more

Great little place for coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Grab a croissant or try one of their sandwiches as well. Neat space inside, but for an even cozier feel climb the narrow stairs and sit on the second floor looking out over the street. Friendly staff while we were there that was happy to let us practice our French but also happy to jump in and help you in English! read more

Brûlerie Saint-Jean - Chai latte, croissant, Hot Chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

This cafe near downtown has great coffee and awesome grilled cheese sandwiches. They're served piping hot with plenty of gooey orange cheddar cheese. They could eat 3 in one sitting. Good vibe cafe, service is very good. It's usually counter service. They also have quiche, chicken pot pies, wraps, pastries.All good. Highly recommended. Only drawback is it's near a grungy area and creeps and bums do come in plus the bathroom is up a flight of stairs and you need a key. Typo: I could eat 3 grilled cheese in one sitting! read more

Conveniently located across from our hotel, this little coffee shop hit all our interests. Amazing coffee, tasty breakfast sandwiches and dessert's! Good morning!! That staff were very friendly and served us up fresh treats and delicious coffee. 8.6/10 read more

Brûlerie Saint-Jean - Coffee and breakfast with my honey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

A small coffee shop located on the corner. But I did not come here for the coffee, I came for the breakfast sandwich (Sandwich Matin). Basically, it's a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese ... but served panini style. Excellent! In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I returned the next day. read more

This place was across the street from our hotel-so very convenient. The food we tried both times was delicious and best of all everyone who worked here was especially courteous in two languages! They the white chocolate fruity croissant-mmmm! Thank you read more

Busy little corner café. Delicious. Simple, the woman running establishment is excellent

Still loving on this place. Legit croissants, and coffee that does not disappoint. Friendly staff, and great location. See you again soon!

Amazing cappuccino, it was delicious, there's lots of seating which can be hard to find. Service was fast and friendly, looking forward to going back. read more

Amazing cappuccino and croissant and their tiramisu was out of this world! Great seating outside! read more

This was near our hotel so we gave it a try. I had studied the menu for two days beforehand so we would be ready to order efficiently since we are a family of 6. Only problem is you don't order but choose from what has already been made and there are ppl in the queue standing in front of the case where the food is and employees don't seem overly interested in knowing what is in the case either. That being said, if you are not ordering actual food, and just ordering a beverage and pastry the food was pleasant enough and there is extra seating upstairs with comfortable atmosphere. Our quiche was still mostly frozen but the hot chocolate was delicious. This is a nice place for solo travelers or parties of 2. read more

Love their beans and variety. Visited them while on vacation in end of May. Tried their organically grown Ethiopian Sedamo whole beans. Nothing tastes better. Great ambiance too. read more

Great coffee, but the almondine du chocolate is the superstar here. Easily the best pastry in town. Nab one before lunchtime, lest they sell out. The massive second floor offers a perfect spot to immerse in a long stretch of studying or laptop work. Here working remotely, I've been to most of the top-ranked cafes in town. It's this place that's become my regular spot. Many other top-ranked cafes have an untenable dearth of seating -- Cantook does offer an elevated brew, for example. but it's not a space conducive to lingering. Brûlerie Saint-Jean is deceptively small downstairs -- upstairs is a massive, lived-in, comfy area with seating for 60+, some power outlets here and there, and excellent Wifi that keeps you logged in forever. read more

No reviews in 2 years! I'll give one. My wife and I visiting Quebec City happened upon this unpretentious, but quality coffee shop near the Hilton where we were staying. My wife loved her Maple Latte and my flat-white was good as well. We decided to go back the next day, with a totally different set of employees, and we again had a great experience. My wife had the same Maple Latte and I had an Americano. So, in summary; good service (they were very nice), consistent crafting (e.g., my wife's drinks across different days/baristas), and some tasty coffee! Thank you for making a couple Californians a few great cups of coffee! read more

Great coffee in a nice setting. The staff was super friendly and made us a nice cappuccino.

The price is good and the staff is very kind. I must come more often! The coffee here is absolutely fantastic, with a rich and smooth flavor that keeps me coming back. I also love their matcha; it's perfectly blended and always hits the spot. The ambiance is perfect for relaxing or getting some work done, with comfortable seating and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great coffee experience and friendly service! read more

I got a plain espresso shot, which was good, very intense and rich. My sister got a matcha frappe, which she said is one of the best matcha drinks she's ever had (better than Starbucks' matcha frappe which she thought was good). She later got a matcha latte and concluded that this coffee place has the best matcha drinks in the whole city (and possibly in the world). Chocolate croissant was good but, of course, nowhere near as good as Paillard's. Lots of tables and seating, especially on the 2nd floor, though a bit too much -- the space feels a bit cramped (although there were only a few customers). Plenty of outlets so it seem to be a good place for working. read more

Around 10 pm on a Saturday, Brulerie St. Jean was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of sight seeing around Quebec City. I was visiting with a friend from Rivière du Loup, but neither of us are very intense coffee drinkers. So we settled to share a huge slice of cake that was composed of layers of brownie, cheesecake, cookie crumbs, chocolate mousse and the essence of Jesus Christ himself (good stuff). For about six bucks, the cake was beyond worth it. In addition, the café has a second floor; nice and quiet. The shop also has many paintings from (presumably) local artists for sale. J'adore Brulerie St-Jean! read more

I had their hot cocoa here, which they added some cute latte art to! It's not sweet at all though, so come if you like your drinks from real coffee shops vs starbucks-like ones! The free wifi here is super fast, btw! And there is TONS of seating upstairs! read more

Great little cozy coffee place! Please try the spicy moccaccino coffee for those who dare, it leaves a spicy aftertaste on your mouth after each drink that's really addictive, but probably not for everyone ;P read more

Great coffee and pastries!!! Right across the street from our hotel. I went there two mornings in a row.

Great coffee! Casual day hangout, study, work with tasty coffee. Close to the old city

Upon arrival to beautiful Old Quebec and checking into our hotel, the first order of business was to find somewhere to relax over a good cup of coffee. A quick Yelp search revealed brûliere would be a good bet. We had a regular coffee, cappuccino and a palmier. The palmier was delish; buttery, crumbly and not too sticky sweet. I'm not sure how these things are supposed to taste but I thought this one was delightful. Drinks were good. Space doesn't have much seating but we were lucky to get a seat in the window. Catchy music playing adds to the character or the place which is relaxed. We plan to return! read more

Stopped here this morning on our way into Old Quebec for coffee to go. A line was a good sign to me. Cashier was a pleasure, very welcoming. Best latte so far in Quebec City! Glad I got the large size. Mocha was delicious too. Will definitely be back tomorrow. read more

Strong and sturdy cups of coffees and lattes. I was suggested by the barista to get a dirty chai latte (with an extra shot of espresso) and it was life saving. Came back bearly every morning of the conference. read more

Came here on a Tuesday morning for a quick to-go breakfast for our drive from Old Quebec to Toronto. This is a very convenient location right outside the old city and right before the highway. Naturally, there was a long line when I came in. There was one cashier and one other person preparing all the coffee. These girls moved pretty quickly and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The menu was in French... the staff and customers spoke in French... all the orders were placed in French... I don't speak French. So I was kinda getting nervous as the line was getting shorter. Thankfully, when it was my turn, the cashier spoke perfect English! Yessss. I ordered a hot chocolate, a mochaccino, chocolate croissant, and regular croissant. How delicious! Both drinks were great and not too hot (meaning you can drink it right away). Both croissants were light, fluffy, and super fresh. Wish I tried some of their other pastries! read more

Location: On St. Jean, past the St. Jean gate. The place: Tiny. There are 2-3 tables and a bar-type seating by the window. This is more of a to-go kind of place. The goods: I had a Macchiato. It was OK but very.... tart. I've had better. Service: OK but not overly friendly. Price point: About $3 for the Macchiato. read more

Brulerie St Jean has been around since the mid 80's and let me tell you, there's a reason why they've been around for this long. I still remember going here to pick up some beans with my mother when I grew up in the neighborhood. As you walk in the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans just smacks you in the face. Amazing selection of fair trade coffee roasted on location, coffee making gadgets and of course, some amazing espresso. They even have a self serve station if the line up gets too busy. read more

Stopped by for a quick light brunch. Great little breakfast joint - more room upstairs. Local newspapers and tabloids (in French only). Delicious quiche, pastries and a small selection of sandwiches. The hot chocolate was yummy. Vegetarian options available. Most drinks come with decorative leaf patterns! Free drinking water at the back. read more

Saturday, 1:30 PM. Quickie: + Drink menu + Friendly service -- Turnaround -- Clean -- Slow wi-fi + Table space And then...? Cleanliness could use some more attention. And so could stepping up wi-fi capability, given the amount of customers that go through here. I like the wide menu though! ********** Stuffed my face in: 1.

Called into this lovely little coffee shop for emergency coffees (apparently café urgence is going to appear on the menu soon!). The staff were delightful and the barista knew what she was doing. Cafe Lattes all round! Well rounded coffee and the milk wasn't overheated so a nice experience tempted me to go back for a second round. Overcome with coffee goodness I was able to start my day! Oh, and the individual artwork on the top of the coffees was a lovely touch. read more

Great coffee! I had a soy latte and it was delicious. Has WiFi and lots of space. Loved it

Stopped by here every morning for a latte during my stay in Quebec City. Friendly service and the espresso had a nice flavour with a deep golden crema. Taste and temperature was a little inconsistent which is why I gave it the 4 stars. Could have been the barista, humidity, freshness of the beans or all of the above. Overall satisfied and will be back a few more time before we head home. read more

We stayed at the Hilton Quebec for nine days. With each morning a very short walk to Jean Brulee. Service was always good, baked goods fresh and the espresso drinks were beautifully crafted and delicious. They had two tip jars with a celebrity's photo that changed each day that you could vote for. George Clooney or Leonardo DeCapreol, I would have left the tip on the counter. Good fun and nice barrista's. read more
