We visited one for breakfast in Baie-Saint-Paul a few weeks ago for breakfast and I gave it five stars. Since it is a chain, this one also gets five stars. We toured this location, but chose not to eat there for lunch. However, we will be back to try it another day. The inside is small with some seating. The pastries, sandwiches and bakery items were similar to those in the Baie-Saint-Paul location. There were quite a few people in the store who had discovered this place and were ordering lunch. It was actually quite crowded. We will return to eat here.

So I booked a night to stay over on our way to Charlevoix. The Good: certainly that breakfast earns its reputation. It's conventional but really good, as is the coffee. Service in the cafe also quite good. The Bad: bedbugs. Found in the bedsheets. I get the feeling the staff knows they have a problem because when we brought it up they were indifferent to it. Did not make for a good nights sleep. The Other: scenery around the hotel is pretty nice, quiet and peaceful. Parking is street parking.

We are in the area celebrating not only my mom's birthday, but also following the route of the…read moreInspecteur Gamache series of novels by Louise Penny, famous local author. This was my mom's request and any chance to spend time in Quebec is something we all love. North Harley is a charming little town with some unique shops and of course, this delightful Inn, L'Auberge de la Chocolatière, or The Chocolate Makers Inn. The café has a nice array of breakfast, lunch and dinner items, as well as desserts. We were promptly seated. Staff is perfectly bilingual (which is pretty common for this area). I ordered the Grilled Cheese Panini with comes with side salad or soup of the day. I chose the latter, a celery and mushroom (non dairy) veloûté. My mom ordered the sane whereas my dad got the pepper and eggs Panini with chèvre and the soup. We each ordered the thé froid, iced tea, a slightly sweetened iced herbal tea. The Panini was delicious. It was a perfect combination of sweet and savory. The soup was creamy, properly seasoned and piping hot. As there was a chill in the air, it hit the spot. The service was excellent. We opted to forgo dessert, but we did get an array of 12 artisanal chocolates to go. We had mom choose the flavors from over almost 40 offerings in dark, milk and white chocolate. Each chocolate has a fine-thick sliver of topping or sprinkling of herbs or spices, such as dried cranberries, apricot, elderflower, cassis, cayenne pepper, sea salt, lavender, coconut, cardamom. In essence, a chocolate lovers paradise. In the car, we sampled the pralined and the apricot. The chocolate is extremely high quality and not too sweet. There's a lot of love out into those concoctions. The store also sells maple syrup candies and syrup, small and large bars of the chocolates, etc. It was a lovely first meal in the region. I would cone back here to enjoy the area's outdoor offerings and perhaps stay here.

Is it possible to give a business no star on a review? Because this one really deserve that. I've…read morebeen going to this café for many years and had succulent meals, coffee and deserts. Well now that things are back to normal, it is not the case anymore. I've been there three time so far since the spring. The first time was for coffee. The place was pretty empty, I ordered a cappuccino. It took a fair amount of time to get it. Ok, I give it to you that it's not the kind of coffee that you immediately pour in a cup, but that are some limit. The second time I went, I wanted a beer, I said so to hostess, I was seated and given the drink menu. When the server finally came to take my order, she informed me that they couldn't alcohol alone. That I had to eat. Why wasn't I informed of that when I walked in? It would have been easier instead of arguing with the waitress. Last Sunday, I was back. I wanted to have some sort of breakfast. I walked inside not wanting to sit on the patio. It took over 15 minutes to have the hostess come to me. I was finally sit and again, I had to wait for a waitress for a period that is more than what is really required. She asked me if I wanted to start with something to drink. I said yes, gave her my order for a cappuccino and she disappeared. About 20 minutes later, she comes back with my coffee and to take my order. I give her my order and 30 minutes after giving my order, I still haven't received it. By that time, my coffee was done so I left money on the table for the coffee and I left. I would gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking that she is new. But this was the end of the lunch time and this is the same type of service I received on prior visits. In my book, they are done.
