This was an absolute highlight of my stay in Lévis, Québec!…read more Loved it as soon as I walked in. Not your typical dark and dank Starbucks with the banging and clanging echoing around you and grumpy people lining up for their caffeine fix. Instead it had a peaceful vibe with beautiful interior design and kind of 80s-inspired IKEA art that isn't offensive all all, ever. The counter had nice pleasant ladies behind it that couldn't speak much English, making it exactly what I was looking for: Local flavour. I ordered a cappuccino and butter croissant and boy oh boy was that good! That was the best croissant I've ever had! Just amazing and I get them fairly often. This was a clear standout with texture and flavour. And the coffee was great too. Looking around, I noticed everyone was settled in and comfortable in their spots. There were a couple retired gents reading the paper, as the line at the counter built somewhat with people who needed to get in and get out. The seating is fabulous! There are cushions and comfy spots everywhere, so nice! And in the back there was another large room that was somewhat secluded from the ordering area by the front. As I was enjoying my coffee, I noticed others having their breakfast which looked amazing from what I could see so I headed back to the counter. I was so happy with what I ordered! Wow so many types of fruit, all nicely arranged with the eggs and the bread omg so good! And cheap too! I left happy and wanted to linger longer but needed to hit the road. I will be back as it's next to my fav pizza joint in Lévis!

Their standard barista blend is very well balanced as either a cappuccino, an espresso, or a cortado. Their decaf blend was equally good.

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.

Nice quiet place to get away from the crowds in the Main Street and enjoy some good food. Thank you.read more

This is the second ES I've been to in Lévis. This one is in…read morea shiny new development near the Galaries Chagnon mall. It's quite large and spacious wrapping around the whole end of the building with parking in the back. The breakfast here is amazing. Choose from the classics. They all come with, and I counted 11 different fruits and berries. That's just something overlooked by the fast food joints because they cost money and time but definitely worth it for both the visual appeal and flavour bursts. Breakfast sandwich good enough you say? No! As usual the large latte was indeed huge, and as always rich and creamy delicious served in a massive ceramic mug. Friendly service at the counter and I always get a kick to see them gush when I try to say some French words off the menu. The Bene was amazing. Worth seeking out when in the area for a croissant or one of their breakfasts.

Vibrant neighborhood bakery cafe! This review is based on…read moremy recent visits on weekday mornings. ++. Ambiance is open, floor to high ceiling windows on 3 sides, neutral Scandinavian decor bustling with both travelers, remote workers and neighbors. They do have time duration limits for visits. ++. Food is pastries, coffees and limited breakfast. I tried their classic bacon platter, cap with soy milk, latte with soy milk and goat cheese and beet panini. They bake croissants every morning but not the other pastries. The cap was decent. The 3 strips of bacon were super thin and fatty. The single egg however was over easy when I ordered over hard. Not sure if it was a language thing as my French is challenged or just undercooked. The toasts were Texas BiG and toasted dry as ordered. Fruits were fresh. They included a ground cherry which was a first for me. All in all, decent enough to finish. The goat cheese and beet panini was delicious and as was the latte. ++. Service was friendly and accommodating with English. ++. Price is reasonable. +. Parking is plenty in a private lot. Overall, it's not a destination for pastries for me but their breakfast and panini were quite decent! For around here, it's the best option for relatively healthy and fresh choices. They DO make very drinkable coffees that I would return on future visits!

Cafe- bistro located in new development behind the Four Points Sheraton and Levis congres centre…read more I've previously had a rather negative opinion of Van Hotte coffee. I rather thought it to be middle of the road and somewhat uninspiring. Here however it was a dandy clever surprise. I was here at 7AM for my morning Java jolt and a light breakfast. The cafe was quiet, well designed and very comfortable with many nooks and crannies and spots you could find yourself getting lost in a book or that office email overflowing red list! My order was a capucinno and a breakfast sandwich. Cap was nice strength, slightly bitter but good portion of froth. It came out as a nice hot temperature. Breakfast sandwich was fresh, light filling enough for a grown man and delicious. Overall a fine breakfast to get the day going. The only design flaw I'd declare is when you walk in it feels you are at the bulk food store with big displays of single serve keurig pods which somewhat gives a negative feng shui to the place. The rest of the cafe lounge is so nice but the massive display of pods on both sides doesn't suit the design of the place. I'm no interior or Industrial designer but it cheapens the feel of what otherwise is a fantastic cozy relaxing environment. Otherwise good stuff!
