We stopped at this bakery on our way to Montmorency falls. It was Sunday morning so only the owner…read more(?) was there and so there was no sandwiches or salads available yet. Space is quite large and it appears to have a viewing area to see bakers making the bread/pastries. It even has a large corner designated for kids to play in! We asked the owner if we could have some baguette with butter which he gladly obliged. He took a fresh baguette and sliced about half of it into diagonal pieces, put some butter on the side for us and let us have at it. We also had a cappuccino and latte - both were good. The baguette was nice and fresh, good for a bakery but it's hard to mess up a baguette. Towards the end, we tried a Choquette and that was really, really good. Really enjoyed the light crunchiness and the sweetness of the pastry. Perfect sweetness level and so crispy. I probably could have eaten a ton more if I had less self-control and had more money to spend. It probably pairs really well with a coffee. The owner was nice and only charged us 1$ for the half a baguette - I guess he planned on using the rest of it for other things during the day or just a really nice guy who knew we were tourists in the area based on our terrible French and his resorting to speaking to us in English. We did notice this place seems pretty well known to locals. Tons of people would come in looking for a specific loaf of bread or purchase a mass quantity of croissants at a time. One lady bought a bunch of pastries and let her kids to play in the kid's play area. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area if you need breakfast or an afternoon cappuccino or latte!

From home made bread to danishes, from deserts to sandwiches and the best iced mocha I've ever had in my entire life, your belly will be smiling all the way home, wherever that might be. We're from the States, so making sure we got to try a little bit if everything was important to us, but we could have used a cart to get everything out lol Such a friendly and happy staff, it brings a smile to your face. With it's market/deli like atmosphere, you'll find whatever it is you're looking for and some things you weren't. Plenty of seating if you want to eat here or take it with you. Not familiar with prices in Canada, just know we didn't blink an eye when it came to the tab. 9.4/10

Omg the best French baked goods! As good as the French bakeries in France!…read more We came here 3 mornings in a row because the stuff is so good! It's a small bakery/coffee shop with a few small tables and small display of French pastries. The croissants have beautiful lamination. Not only do the pastries look good, they are delicious. The croissants are buttery, crispy, and flakey! They are even warm in the mornings. We tried the plain croissant, ham and cheese, chocolate croissant, almond croissant, plain chouquette and flavored chouquettes. All so good! Just depends what you are craving. Cappuccino and espresso great too!

From the perfectly crisp traditional baguettes to the savory quiches and incredible sandwiches, you can't go wrong with anything here. This place has become an absolute must-stop for me every single time I visit Quebec City. By the way, their sister location in Saint-Sauveur is also phenomenal. It's much smaller and features a different menu, but the quality is equally spectacular.

It's near Jacques Cartier National Park so if you time your trip around fall foliage as I did, you can enjoy your pastries surrounded by the colors of the fall season. The pastries are everything I imagined -- super flakey and delicious. Located outside Quebec City, it was said to be the best pastry shop in the area. I don't think you can go wrong. You just point at whatever is calling you. There was line, but the line moves swift. Is it strange that I get happy and excited when I meet fellow Filipinos. I find comfort in meeting them and it always feels like meeting family away from home. There was a group of them working at this bakery in Stoneham. They were all smiles and very welcoming to me the English speaker in this French speaking province. If you're in the Quebec City and you have your own car, I recommend a visit to Pascal and working off your carb loading with a walk through Jacques Cartier National Park.

Every morning we visited Epi'Fanny, we noticed there's usually a moderate line-up (although quite…read morefast-moving) and mostly French-speaking customers (perhaps a popular local spot!) Their Bread loafs/baguettes and croissants seem to be the most sought after. I found the PRICES VERY REASONABLE (~1/3 less of what I usually pay at an Ontario bakery). We've tried: FLAX CRANBERRY LOAF (4/5)- LOVE the textures and the spongey soft bread interior. I found their crust really chewy though and tired my jaw after awhile. Pistachio croissant, Raspberry croissant (4/5) - impressive size and really filled with a milky cream with its respective pistachio and raspberry fruit. Can't say it's the most crispiest or fresh out of the oven...it's more of a soft yet flaky texture. Mille-feuille (4.5) - the fresh raspberry, vanilla bean cream and crispy crunchy layers was such a refreshing treat. Admittedly for me, it was messy to eat. Baguette with cheese & bacon (3/5) - a savoury option, but a bit greasy with all that cheese!

Their coffee was ok though. Though, it's still better than Starbucks. The croissants are big here and a great snack to hold you over until lunch.
