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!

This was my first trip to Quebec city in many years, so I asked a friend to recommend a pâtisserie…read moreshe loved. Le Croquembouche had what I was looking for. 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!

Really tasty and a lot of food for the price, which included the espresso. Lots of knock knacks and jewelry for sale. Cute little shop and great customer service. Would definitely return!

Grabbed coffee here with my family before embarking on a 7 hour car trip. Along with coffee and…read moretea, the shop also sold pastries, chocolate, jewelry, t-shirts, and more. We bought some of the chocolate and it was very good. The owner was also very friendly and welcoming and provided great service. As for the coffee itself, I didn't really enjoy the latte I ordered because it tasted kind of off/burnt to me. Two of my family members ordered tea and also thought their drinks tasted strange, but everyone else enjoyed their drinks. Not sure what was up with that, but aside from the coffee tasting off, I loved everything else about this cafe!

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.

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

A quaint café about 7 minutes away from the Château Frontenac…read more The staff was friendly and very patient with me while I tried to order in French. She replied with English for me when I was struggling at the end. I appreciated her patience while I tried. We ordered a vanilla latte and a matcha latte. A plus for having lactose free milk even if it's for an extra cost. Both drinks were really good and the matcha was not too bitter. The raspberry cheesecake (un gâteau du fromage aux framboise) was creamy smooth with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. A great place for a cup of coffee and a sweet treat to help you continue to traverse the hills of old Quebec.

The drinks were thoughtfully crafted, and you can tell the barista takes real pride in their work. Friendly service, great energy, and a calm atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommended if you're nearby -- it's the kind of café that quietly becomes a go‑to.

Saturday morning and a great cup of coffee is what Nektar delivered…read more We had the medium mokkaccino ( mocha) with almond milk, half decaf ( my love of coffee is for its flavor but I can do without the heart palpitations) and a medium Americano. We also shared a raspberry chocolate pastry which was okay. Maybe better if it was toasted but it wasn't offered as an option. My mocha cappuccino was deep in flavor and cocoa powder, not syrup, was used. Even with the almond milk it was still rich and the milk to coffee ratio was just right. The americano was a good cup. Interior is clean, modern and cozy. Seating is generous and spacious. Their counter is nice and centered. Our barista was efficient and friendly. Would recommend this in the downtown area, about 1.25 miles away from old Quebec.

I'm confident that the only reason this place has 3 stars is that the most recent review is 4 years old. They have a wide variety of interesting gelato and sorbet flavors, most of which I can't speak for, but the raspberry sorbet, mango sorbet, rhubarb gelato, whiskey crème gelato, and chocolate gelato were excellent! We met the owner, who was justifiably proud of his homemade gelato. The texture of the sorbet is smooth, not icy, and the raspberry had actual raspberry pieces in it. Delicious! The sugar cones were also great, and I'm pretty sure they make them there. The service was very quick and friendly as well. This little shop definitely stands apart from the usual tourist fare omnipresent in Old Quebec.
