Despite a sign on the door that said a maximum of two people could enter at a time (COVID), there were several people in there when we stopped by. The goods: After reading all the hype, I expected to be blown away but the chocolatine I had was average and didn't blow me away. The selection was OK but there didn't seem to be a lot of variety. Service: Meh. The person who served me wasn't exactly friendly and didn't seem interested in answering basic questions. The experience was rather disappointing. Price point: On par with other bakeries though the coffee was somewhat expensive given the size of the cup.

You don't want to be let down with mediocre or sub mediocrity in terms of food. This place really hit the mark. Like a total home run! Firstly it's a cracking good bakery with fresh artisanal bread. Secondly they do very high quality coffee. Thirdly they have sandwiches, soup and other great lunch items. My lunch I selected a seafood soup. It was rich, not salty and deliciously home made. Also as my ancestors must have come from the sea I had a Gaspesian smoked mackerel sandwich. It was one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Like blew my mind how good it was. It was tiny morsels of smoked fresh fish, thin apple slices. Shredded cabbage and a very nice light dressing. Holy macaroni it was amazing. I'd never think I'd have a smoked mackerel sandwich but I may try to replicate it at home. To round off the meal I ordered a capucinno and it was totally on point. Creamy. Piping hot and strong yet not bitter. To bring back to the grand ville I brought back two loaves of bread. Crispy, crunchy and soft in the centre. You would think a cafe like this would be in the Mille end Montreal or on Ave McGuire in QC or in SOHO in NYC but it's wonderfully amazing! When I Think of the options of coming here or eating at a place like St Hubert it's clear in my mind where I'd rather spend my money!

The place: These guys primarily sell cheese but you can also purchase a few other goods as well. It's not very big and the layout makes it so it can be a little cramped if the place is full. The goods: Everyone stops here on their way to and from Québec's North Shore - at least that's what I was led to believe on both my trips to and from Tadoussac! And for good reason - this is the place to get our beloved curd cheese because not only is it delicious, but it's super fresh! There are so many people who stop in that I don't think these guys have anything left at the end of the day. This time around, I also got butter. Mmmm butter.... it's creamy and delicious and I'm kicking myself for not getting two bars. Yum. Service: Friendly. Price point: Pretty good! The first time, I bought a big bag of curds and I think it was about 8.75. This time, I got the small bag + a brick of butter and the cost was under $9. The price of the cheese is, I believe, less than what you pay in a grocery store.

Street parking is available but check the signage as most of it is paid and, in some places, has a cap of 30 minutes. The place: Nice little café that's run out of a converted house. I didn't stay in but the place was clean, had great light and if I recall, a section where you can sit down with your laptop and do a little work. The bathrooms were also clean! The goods: I stopped in twice and got the Mocha with oat milk and thoroughly enjoyed it. They do have a small variety of pastries and other goods if you're feeling peckish. Service: OK Price point: It's a little on the expensive side - my coffee was $6.03 with taxes, which is pretty steep considering the size of the cup. At that price point, I'd expect to get a large vs the small that I got. They've only got one cup size, as well.
