We were looking for a coffee spot near the Jardin botanique with parking, and 3 Patapoufs came up on Yelp. I'm so glad we stopped by.
This cozy neighborhood café and deli has a warm, welcoming feel. It offers a selection of prepared foods, including quiches and savory pies, while the other side of the shop is dedicated to coffee and pastries.
The coffee was excellent, and the viennoiseries were classic and delicious. (I have yet to find a terrible pastry shop in this town!) The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient.
One of my favorite things about 3 Patapoufs is how connected it is to the neighborhood. The café partners with local businesses such as the preschool across the street. During our visit, the walls were decorated with cute children's colorings celebrating the café's anniversary, adding an extra touch of community charm. And prices were reasonable $30 CAD for chocolate bread loaf, chocolate croissant, cinnamon knot, pain aux raisin, spinach and cheese hand pie and 2 lattes. read more
