I couldn't find a single reason not to like this place.I absolutely loved this cafe for all the right reasons. The food, coffee, location, ambience and service are all top notch.Coming here a few hours prior to my dinner was my daily highlight of the trip. I am a very experimental person with food but if I like something at a certain restaurant I like to repeat that over and over again.And here I got totaled obsessed with the plain croissants served with homemade jam and butter.Their jam is absolutely divine.The croissants were soft from inside and crispy on the outside.I would say one of the bests I have had in a long time.Their lattes were hot and delicious. I also tried waffle which I saw everyone buying here.They were amazing too but I preferred my croissant and jam over it.Last but not the least I bought a box of assorted macaroons which were fresh and delicious.My mini me enjoyed them throughly. The staff is super friendly and helpful even though they are very busy.The location is gorgeous right in the center of everything and there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoor.I sat outdoors since it was a beautiful day and I wanted to soak in every bit of the sunshine. read more

Went to this place based on high recommendations for hot chocolates and coffees..sad to say I was disappointed! Firstly even though we decided to drink there - they gave us the drinks in take away cups rather than ceramic ones, because they were too lazy to wash maybe ! We ordered a regular hot chocolate and a coffee. The hot chocolate was not hot (which is not okay!) It was luke warm at the best and taste wise very average. So was the coffee - very okay. There were some assortment of bakery products and macrons. We tried the exotic macaron, which was good! Well balanced sweet and with apricot tang. $$ wise it is slightly on the expensive end. The seating is very much like a Parisian cafe with out door tables and cutesy insides. read more

A wonderful breakfast experience. The quaint and calm environment is lovely, we sat outside with our orders of brownies, cheesecake and chocolate almond croissant. It was a beautiful dewy morning, all the staff were quite friendly and before we finished our order they were already plating our food. The orange juice we had ordered was divine, it didn't have any pulp but it tasted like you were biting into the most juicy and flavourful orange slice in the universe, we ended up buying two more for our cruise within the next hour. The brownies were a shock, they were strong but not too chocolate or dry. They were thin so it was more of a light breakfast that had a significant crunch when bitten with the pecan topping. The chocolate almond croissant was quite good, the chocolate wasn't overpowering, and it was moist and filling. The cheesecake was very rich, a bit too much, quite thick, but a lovely taste. Our group would definitely come again, especially for the delicious orange juice! read more

I wanted to find a bakery and the reviews led me here. I gave this a 3 instead of a 4 because of customer service. - Macarons: The macarons here are from a bakery company from Montreal. They are very tasty and have plenty of variety! I recommend the coconut, salted caramel, and red velvet. - Chocolate Almond Croissant: so good! Nice combo and balance of the two flavors with a delicious buttery crust. Get it warmed up and you won't regret it! - Hot chocolate: good, but pretty standard. It did its job. - Customer service: one person rang me up then left mid-transaction to start my drink. I asked he new person for my receipt and she said it wasn't time yet then finished the transaction and moved on to the next person. I asked for the receipt again and she just ignored me. It was very rude and made me bump this experience to a 3/5 when it could've been 4/5. Oh well. If you need to stop by a café, go to the other Café Maison locations, they are much nicer! read more

I stumbled upon this cafe after stopping in the Hockey store a few doors down, and I knew before I left Québec I would stop into this cafe. My best friend and I stopped in there to see what it was about, and it is just adorable in there. From the mason jar lighting to mini mugs on the wall, it is a warm inviting atmosphere. I was really excited about their large variety of flavors of macaroons. I was able to try a nice variety of them and it was very good. Their staff is very friendly and gives suggestions of their menu which was really nice (and they speak really well in English which is a plus because I do not speak French). I ordered a mocha and it was delicious - this is an establishment that I would go to again to try more of their menu options. read more

We had spent a couple hrs touring the old city during Carnaval and it was getting to be time to warm up with a hot drink when we stumbled on this little cafe. Immediately as we went in the warm friendly and helpful staff made us feel as tho we had been regulars for yrs. We took their suggestions and had a wonderful warming snack. The Hazelnut latte was great but it's a must to have the hot chocolate! Not filled with sugar like most are this is the real deal, the pastries where delicious, once again not loaded with sugar so you can enjoy the fruit flavour in the fruit cake and dipping the warm cake in the maple syrup was fantastic! The cinnamon buns are just right as well. A wonderful break during our great day in Quebec!! I will definitely remember this cafe long after I've returned home. read more

If you say bakery, I will say where... It's almost like we were meant to be together. I was visiting Quebec city and of course one of the goals was to find the best bakeries in town. I originally just came in for coffee but was distracted by all the sweets. They had a Matcha cookie out on display and we're giving samples. Matcha is not my favorite flavor and probably not a cookie I would normally choose. However, when I tasted the cookie it was amazing. The matcha cookie was soft and flavorful. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! We also had an almond chocolate, croissant. The croissant was soft and flakey just what fresh should taste like. This bakery serves quality food! Along with the great food was their location. They had seating inside and out with perfect ambiance to go with. We sat on the patio area which was a great place to people watch and enjoy the city. Even though I was blown away by the cookie my coffee was delicious too. Served hot with my special request of almond milk. The language in Quebec City is French but they understood English too. This is very helpful when no one understands you! I got great customer service! My only complaint was I didn't order more! If you have a sweet tooth like me, this place is a must! read more

Came here for a coffee and croissant while checking out the city. Excellent service, and the cashier spoke enough English to make ordering easy. Love that they have coconut milk as an option. I got a misto with coco milk and hubs had an americano. I also wanted something sweet so while the cakes all looked delicious, I decided on a chocolate croissant. Coffees were excellent but my croissant was not soft at all. So I went inside and asked if I could get something else and just pay the difference (a chocolate Fronde I think it was called? Chocolate twist with sugar crystals on it). They were super friendly and kindly allowed me to have the Fronde without paying the upcharge. They apologized also a few times and wanted to make sure I was happy. There are a few seats inside, but the highlight is the patio. Little cafe tables, great view and lots of savory and sweet options for food. Great drink selection. Love this little gem even though it's right in the heart of tourist crazy. Great customer service! read more

Ended up here after all the recommendations from locals. It was quite busy on a Sunday morning for breakfast. I asked the barista what their most famous coffee is and she recommended the Maple Latte which I got with a chocolate croissant. My friend got their regular drip coffee with the butter croissant. He said they were pretty good. My coffee was quite good since I like it on the sweeter side. The croissant was mediocre with a very slight filling of dark chocolate. I did ask for it to be warmed but I'm not sure if they didn't warm it or it just got cold by the time they gave me my coffee. Hence I didn't end up enjoying it much. I mean, I've had better croissants before... Will I be going back for the coffee? Probably not... there seems to be a lot more options out therefor similar things. read more

2017 Review 75/100 Cozy little coffee shop nestled in Old Quebec. I was looking for a quiet place to enjoy a good cup of coffee as I was wandering around the area and this place nailed it. Friendly service. Delicious cappuccino and great atmosphere. The place definitely has that hipster vibe you find at most craft coffee shops. But it was delightful. Sit at the front bartop near the window for some great people watching. I didn't have the opportunity to sample the many delicious-looking baked goods (we were going to dinner soon) but they looked yummy. Would love to go back and try the matcha cookie. Definitely recommend and will go back the next time I'm visiting the city. read more

Cute, clean cafe right in the middle of Place Royale beside Notre Dame des Victoires church. I had to stop here before leaving to get my matcha fix. Matcha latte wasn't strong enough for me but it came in a huge soup bowl basically. Matcha cookie $3.50 was baked very well but I would've been fine with taking a sample from the tray they brought out after we got our cookie. Hot chocolate wasn't hot enough but it had a nice strong chocolate flavour. The $2.60 croissants are large. Major plus was free wifi! read more
