Location: In the hear of Tadoussac, just across from the church (not the chapel - though that's not…read morefar away!). Street parking is available but check the signage as most of it is paid and, in some places, has a cap of 30 minutes. The place: Nice little café that's run out of a converted house. I didn't stay in but the place was clean, had great light and if I recall, a section where you can sit down with your laptop and do a little work. The bathrooms were also clean! The goods: I stopped in twice and got the Mocha with oat milk and thoroughly enjoyed it. They do have a small variety of pastries and other goods if you're feeling peckish. Service: OK Price point: It's a little on the expensive side - my coffee was $6.03 with taxes, which is pretty steep considering the size of the cup. At that price point, I'd expect to get a large vs the small that I got. They've only got one cup size, as well.

LM la Boite was the saving grace of a road devoid of many coffee stops. It was a beautiful and quaint little building with a very reasonable menu and a wonderful welcoming host who runs the restaurant and I imagine lives there. While she didn't really speak English, she was very hospitable and didn't seem to be upset that I was not able to speak French. The menu featured breakfast items as well as lunch (sandwiches, burgers, gelato, etc.) All I really wanted was some coffee, but she was so hospitable I also ordered some bean soup with meat broth. It was delightful. It was made prior and had to be warmed up and there was a vegetable soup option as well. It was delicious. While I did not try the omelettes or spaghetti, I found the soup and coffee to be delicious and I'm glad this place was open on a Sunday!

It's hard to pick as each item looks better than the last. Sticking with the basics though, croissant, almond filled croissant and a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter and more almond flavor. Generously filled into a sliced croissant. The hazelnut roll;similiar to a cinnamon roll but an elevated taste with real hazelnut paste. Basically everything in that bakery is top drawer as they are using pure ingredients. Definitely stop in and try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!

La maisonnette et la terrasse sont si mignonnes et pittoresques, un endroit merveilleux pour prendre une collation. J'ai été rejoint par un beau coq - un peu effronté mais poli... J'ai partagé un peu de mon palmier avec lui et il a semblé apprécier. Je ne pense pas que ce soit son premier. Après mon expresso, je suis retourné et j'ai trouvé de merveilleux souvenirs, notamment des t-shirts, des sweats à capuche, des vestes et il y avait tellement d'articles pour la maison que je voulais mais que je savais qu'ils ne rentreraient pas dans ma valise. Pourtant, j'ai aussi acheté un magnifique livre pour enfants "Dorianne et Edgar sauvent Noel à l'île d'Orléans" de l'auteure locale Martine Patoine et c'est ravissant. Je n'avais pas réalisé que la copie m'avait posé un problème et, par chance, j'étais garée juste à côté de l'auteur et son mari et son adorable chien m'en ont donné une toute nouvelle parfaite de leur voiture. La chance! Une boutique délicieuse, une tarte aux pommes et un café merveilleux et plein de bonnes choses à l'intérieur! ***** I heard from a few people that the apple pie here was wonderful, so after lunch I stopped in for an apple pie with caramel sauce and espresso. The playhouse and patio are so cute and quaint, a wonderful place to grab a snack. I was joined by a handsome rooster - a little cheeky but polite... I shared some of my palmier with him and he seemed to appreciate it. I don't think this was his first. After my espresso I went back and found some wonderful souvenirs including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets and there were so many home items that I wanted but knew they wouldn't fit in my suitcase. However, I also bought a wonderful children's book "Dorianne and Edgar save Noel on the Island of Orleans" by local author Martine Patoine and it is delightful. I didn't realize I had a problem with the copy and luckily I was parked right next to the author and her husband and adorable dog gave me a perfect brand new one from their car . How lucky!

We drank "pear drops" a martini infused with a splash of the house pear ginger cordial. I made it up and they liked it I think! We split a salmon tartare with salad for $32 which was delicious and more than enough for two. This might become our headquarters for the trip. Recommended.
