Oh, the Matcha was okay ... But whatever, the Nutella eclair is where it's at!

All were delicious, flaky buttery croissant, fresh napoleon with cream and custard, well balanced tart, and cute cream puffs. The store is very small and difficult to find seating during peak hours.

We came to Quebec City on a quest for a truly great croissant, and Pâtisserie Chouquette answered…read morewith quiet confidence. The secret is clearly out: the bright little room on Rue Saint-Jean was busy and filled almost entirely with fellow visitors, so arrive early if you want first pick before the favourites vanish. The croissant is the reason to come. The lamination is handsome, but good looks are common enough. What sets this one apart is the flavour: a clean, unmistakable richness of butter that lingers well after the last flaky shard. Toronto, my home city, has no shortage of beautiful croissants, and many are very good. Bias aside, this one edged them out, if only by a small margin, and in pastry small margins are everything. A worthy pilgrimage for any croissant devotee. My only wish is for a calmer moment in which to savour it.

Le Croquembouche had the best pastries of all the shops we visited on our trip to Quebec City! We…read morefinally realized that the places with the best coffee don't have great baked goods, and we ended up here twice (and enjoyed coffee from Nektar next door). I don't love laminated pastries, so my favorite item was the Galette Fruitee (like a mixed berry muffin top with whole wheat & oat flour), I also tried the brioche bressane, and my husband loved the plain croissant, pain suisse, ham and cheese quiche & brownie pops. We also got a baguette tradition to take home!

The eclairs and Paris-Brest are so delicious. The crisp choux and creamy fillings were just perfect. The quiche was rich but not heavy. I was mostly there for sweet treats to bring home, so I can't speak to the Vienniosserie or breads, but everything I got was delicious and so, so pretty!

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.

Food: For 6 of us we got a wider range of food. We got flex seed, ham and cheese, spinach and goat cheese croissants. All of them were amazing.

I would go there again but order only the croissants.

It has that effortless charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. They offer a great selection of sandwiches, baked goods, and pastries -- everything displayed beautifully and clearly made with care. I ordered a chocolate croissant, ham & brie sandwich, and a matcha latte. - The croissant was flaky with a rich chocolate centre. - The sandwich was fresh, generously filled, and well balanced. - The matcha latte was smooth and not overly sweet. Portions are solid, ingredients taste fresh, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. A lovely spot to pop into when you're in the area.

My husband and I do our morning walk to the bakery every morning as part of our routine. I wish we had one like this back home. I wish this place was a franchise because I would buy one and open it up in Ontario.
