This place is a hidden gem in this little town with no reviews on Yelp yet?!…read more My boyfriend and I arrived just after 11am this morning looking for breakfast, which ended at 11. However, the very kind ladies who hardly speak English at all, and with our lack of French, still went ahead and made us breakfast. We had generous portions of food for so cheap! The women working here were so friendly and even with the language barrier we enjoyed trying to figure it all out with them. Highly recommend this little spot!

Found this gem 5 minutes walk from my hotel. Had the trio combo of soup of the day (pepper soup),…read moregrilled 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.

We enjoyed an amazing brunch before getting back on the road. Worth the walk, there is only street parking around the cafe. Great price for the portions and quality of our meal. Very laid back atmosphere. Friendly service. Our French was bad but we made it through ordering with no trouble. Menu is in French.

I'm not a huge tofu fan but I got the breakfast sandwich which used tofu eggs and tofu bacon--incredible. My family had the Benedict casserole and both were pleasantly surprised. It was flavorful but not a full five stars, I still think four here is great. It was a little warm inside and you have to order at the register and then they bring it to you, so not full sit down service. Staff members were friendly though!

The latte I get had a weak taste of espresso and tasted a bit more watery than I'd like. I got a pastry in the morning. Nothing special but also nothing bad. Perhaps their other drinks are better but my latte was simply okay. Service was fast and prompt though.

So this year I took my mom and sister when we travelled again to QC! It was just as I remembered, their coffee is super tasty, I got a flat white and my sister got a latté. I love the decor inside with all the coffee bags and the wooden interior. Service is always friendly too and they make the coffee quick. Highly recommend this spot!
