I was so thirsty after a hot day of exploring and this cafe offered a handful of non-coffee, non-matcha alternatives. I normally don't love ordering iced teas at cafes because I feel like they're overpriced for a simple black to but I was excited to see this cafe offered a unique a ginger apple(?) iced tea which was not too sweet and hit the spot to refresh my hydration levels. I topped it off with a pistachio croissant stuffed with pistachio creme. Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating - limited street parking nearby read more

Les Cafés du Soleil - Ginger iced tea and pistachio croissant - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

It's open at 630 and it gets busy quick for a reason. The owner and her husband bake their own muffins and croissants. Coffee and espresso is sustainably sourced and they have a wide variety of teas and coffee. I must stop for your early morning outings or afternoon. Pick me up. read more

Because the coffee at your hotel just won't do, one must seek out the local cafe for a strong shot of espresso. Cafes du Soleil gives a lot of attention to their coffee beans, from where they are sourced, to roasting and grinding. There were a few baked goods to choose from, and they've got tea as well if you prefer. read more

Les Cafés du Soleil - Perfection - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

Wonderful place for coffee and fresh baked goods. If you stay (definitely this thing to do) you may enjoy your chosen espresso beverage from a real mug. Select any pastry and have it warmed up for flaky deliciousness. The cookies (or biscuits as they term them) are remarkable - unique flavor combinations that truly delight - you must try the lemon herb biscuits! Staff is friendly and always greets you with a smile There are very few seats - only a handful of small tables but usually you can find a place to land. WiFi is on the Quebec free Wi-Fi - there didn't appear to be a cafe specific WiFi Skp the chains and support a true artisanal purveyor! They also have an inventory of coffee equipment and mugs. Including an ingenious Tea steeping mug. read more

Top notch cappuccino- no need for an extra shot! Made exactly how it should be with the right balance of coffee and milk. London fog was also delicious, recommend it over their chai, which is good, but London Fog is special. Love seeing the beans roasted right there in front of you and so many great beans to choose from to take home. Enjoyed both visits sitting outside on the sidewalk. Nice, friendly service who demonstrated patience with our limited French, not forcing us into English unless we got stuck. Croissants- plain and chocolate- very good and the maple pecan pastry was a special treat! Will be back when we return to the city. read more

We visited this cafe in July 2024 and again in July 2025. My spouse and I had a great experience both times! I had a maple pecan scone and a matcha latte on this visit, while my spouse just had a croissant. It was all yummy! My matcha latte was perfect -- not too sweet, and not gritty at all. Just a perfectly made, smooth hot drink. On both occasions, the employees have been encouraging and enthusiastic about my use of French while ordering! I have limited French but always try to use it when I can, and they are so kind and friendly. Makes the whole thing a great experience! This place can be busy, but you won't wait long. And it's in a great spot -- for before or after visiting the nearby museum or checking out all the lovely local shops. read more

Oh my, once I found this beautiful coffee shop I was in my element. The coffee is simply outstanding and it's the main focus of this café. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable about each of the different coffees on offer. It's very very small, but there are tables where you can sit, however they also have a beautiful area outside the café where you can watch the world go by. This café will be my daily go to for my morning cup of Joe. They also have in house or locally made pastries that are scrumptious. read more

A tiny, charming, delightful morning stop, selling their own brand of beautifully packaged coffee and tea, branded coffee mugs & presses, and serving super fresh and light, DELICIOUS pastries. It's I believe a 3 generation family owned and run business and Benedicte, who told us that her mom was the owner, provided us with exceptionally warm, efficient service What a perfect way to start the day!! read more

Les Cafés du Soleil - Flat white with soy milk , Greek salad , salmon sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

Fast, friendly, excellent morning choices. Well worth the stop! Go do it as soon as you can when you are in Quebec City.

The croissants were absolutely delicious--warm, flaky, and fresh. I ordered a cortado, which was small but strong and packed with flavor. My husband had a mokaccino that was just perfect. The cashier/waitress was very helpful and attentive. Such a great way to start our day! read more

Wonderful coffee and pastry shop! The staff was excellent, it was a cute store, and had seating outside! We went twice while in town and almost went a third time for afternoon coffee. We tried the vanilla latte, normal latte, and the chocolate and regular croissant. If we're in the area again we'll be back! read more

Just a cute and wonderful coffee bar. If you had to imagine a coffee bar this would be it. Great coffee, friendly staff, great pastries and a comfortable atmosphere! If I lived in Quebec I would come here everyday! This is the standard I will judge all coffee bars too! read more

Delicious latte, almond milk available. Kind server with a big smile! Delicious pastries enjoyed by my daughters. Fun decor! Highly recommend! read more

On a cold winter day this place is exactly what I needed. They were closing but they still let me place an order! So kind and very much appreciated. It was the best vanilla latte I've ever had in my life! read more

The best cafe we found in Quebec City. A small cafe down the hill from the Christmas markets, it was a warm setting with quality coffee beans and drinks properly made. The staff was welcoming. Best shot of espresso and macchiato that I had the week I was here. Would definitely return. read more

The absolute best almond croissant of my life. After living and in eating pastries across Europe, Canada and the USA, I found the flakiest of treats at this charming coffee shop. The spiced latte was also delicious, but not overbearing as some can be. The shop wall was lined with Italian cookies, cakes, and treats to go. The Michael Buble Christmas music was an added bonus for the complete Canadian Christmas experience. Going back tomorrow for breakfast to wrap up our visit to this quaint little old town. Couldn't leave without grabbing another incredible almond croissant! read more

Wonderful coffee and pastries. Will still dream of the almond croissants and maple turnovers.

First time in Quebec City with my daughter. This was my favorite cafe. Great service and amazing coffee / desserts. Highly recommend.

My favorite cafe in Quebec. It's in a quiet calm area, has outdoor seating, perfect service and the best croissant while we were traveling. Great coffee and tea and all the pastries look beautiful. read more

I asked my Yelp App where to go for Coffee and it asked me to come here. A little dark inside and tables were closely placed to each other. Seriously, I did not expect much from Les Cafes du Soleil. I was more interested in all these espresso equipment and accessories more than coffee... But I really enjoyed my Macchiato even without any fancy latte art as the shot was pulled properly and the milk foamed perfectly. Service was friendly. Good cafe to stop by for a coffee and to admire their espresso machines! read more

Wonderful quaint cafe. We came in around closing time for coffees and sandwiches. The woman behind the counter was so pleasant (most would have been irritated) and the food was really good! read more

A trip to Quebec would not be complete without a trip to this hidden gem.Coffee great, excellent pastries.My smoked Salmon was delicious.Staff super nice also read more

This place has a variety of good sandwiches on a variety of artisan breads. The sandwiches are pre-made but must be daily as they were fresh as if they were just made. A bag of chips and a pellegrino and we had a great, fast, affordable meal that we enjoyed enough to go back the next day. It was also a relaxing homey atmosphere to get off our feet and rest before hitting the streets and museums again. A decent, large, clean bathroom didn't hurt either. read more

Was happy to stop in here while walking around QC. It's a small shop located facing the port. Friendly service, they brought my cappuccino and biscotti outside to where I sat. Both were tasty. I'm glad to have found this little cafe. read more

Small and intimate... bad thing is ran out of chai and lemonade . Good taste of iced latte . Limited seating

Simple and unpretentious. Good coffee. Here I found the perfect croissant- better than Paris.

There aren't many proper coffee shops in Old Quebec. Sure, there are plenty of restaurants that serve good coffee, but if just want a coffee to go (or to enjoy outside on the sidewalk), Cafés du Soleil is your place. Located in the lower part of Old Quebec not too far from the farmer's market, these guys make great drip coffee and great espresso. If you want a snack they also have simple pastries and sandwiches. If you're a fan of coffee and are spending any time in Old Quebec, you shouldn't miss stopping here. read more

I used to LOVE this place back when I worked in the area. I kept telling anyone who would listen that they served one of the best lattés in town. I would go in and treat myself to a latté and biscotti. Oh, and from what I remember, the almond croissant is tasty! I'm not sure what happened, but I went back today (hadn't been in around a year) and the experience just fell short. My (decaf) latté was alright, but nothing to write home about. Too watery. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I would definitely not go out of my way to come here (sadly). I definitely would (and do, often!) for a cup of joe at le Nektar... so make what you will out of that information ;) However, I will say, this is still your best option for coffee in the area. So if you're staying in one of the nearby hotels or visiting the antique stores on St Paul, it's still worth a visit! read more

Best espresso in the old town! Or at least that we discovered. We started avoiding the hotel coffee at breakfast (bitter and weak) and headed straight here after our meal for a cuppa java. read more

Awesome cafe au lait. Highly recommend just kicking back and enjoying it on the premises. Has a nice local vibe. I also enjoyed the lemon curd pastry, don't let appearances fool you it is quite fresh and delicious. A little bird told me that the chai latte was also superb and home made. read more

A little cafè on a street with not too many tourists. If you're into it, worth the walk! Small and intimate. I got the cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. There are 40+ types of coffee grounds here, and I go for the cappuccino . I also sat next to a group of older gentlemen that sounded and looked like this was their local joint to catch up on news. Lots of locals coming through. Wonderful staff as well. read more

Great coffee place to stop in either before or after a long day discovering Quebec City! Staff is super friendly and helpful and as for the coffee you have so many choices!! Try their pastries while you're there you won't regret it. Also take advantage of taking a look at some of the coffees from around the world and if it interests you, you can even buy some to take home. read more

Les Cafés du Soleil - Try the almond croissant..its delish! - Cafes Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

We happened to pass this small coffee shop after getting off the train on a day of snowstorm (it is not far from the train station) and decided to stay there until the weather got better. I ordered a regular latte and immediately loved it! It does make excellent espresso as other reviews mention, and the price is very reasonable to me. By the end of my trip in Quebec City, I revisited there and bought their house blend coffee beans (that's the one they use for making espresso in store) to take them home. Now I wish I bought much more of them! read more

If you are walking in the main tourist area of Basse Ville (lower town), continue to the east, and turn the corner to explore the antique stores along rue Saint-Paul. And definitely stop for a coffee and pastry at the nice Les Cafe du Soleil; sit at the tables outside on this quiet street and rest up before you make the trek back up the hill to Haute Ville. read more

Great cappucino, and croissant. Nice, local spot.
