You don't want to be let down with mediocre or sub mediocrity in terms of food. This place really hit the mark. Like a total home run! Firstly it's a cracking good bakery with fresh artisanal bread. Secondly they do very high quality coffee. Thirdly they have sandwiches, soup and other great lunch items. My lunch I selected a seafood soup. It was rich, not salty and deliciously home made. Also as my ancestors must have come from the sea I had a Gaspesian smoked mackerel sandwich. It was one of the best sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Like blew my mind how good it was. It was tiny morsels of smoked fresh fish, thin apple slices. Shredded cabbage and a very nice light dressing. Holy macaroni it was amazing. I'd never think I'd have a smoked mackerel sandwich but I may try to replicate it at home. To round off the meal I ordered a capucinno and it was totally on point. Creamy. Piping hot and strong yet not bitter. To bring back to the grand ville I brought back two loaves of bread. Crispy, crunchy and soft in the centre. You would think a cafe like this would be in the Mille end Montreal or on Ave McGuire in QC or in SOHO in NYC but it's wonderfully amazing! When I Think of the options of coming here or eating at a place like St Hubert it's clear in my mind where I'd rather spend my money!

Never too busy to answer a question and when I forgot my coffee grounds, it was set aside and waiting for me the following morning.

Despite a sign on the door that said a maximum of two people could enter at a time (COVID), there were several people in there when we stopped by. The goods: After reading all the hype, I expected to be blown away but the chocolatine I had was average and didn't blow me away. The selection was OK but there didn't seem to be a lot of variety. Service: Meh. The person who served me wasn't exactly friendly and didn't seem interested in answering basic questions. The experience was rather disappointing. Price point: On par with other bakeries though the coffee was somewhat expensive given the size of the cup.

The space was beautifully decorated with house plants and art on the walls of local plants and sea creatures. There was even a mini shop of teas and herbals at the entrance. The menu highlighted seafood and local farm to table options. We chose two appetizers including the fois gras with berry sauce and a charcuterie and cheese platter. It was all visually beautiful AND tasty! My husband tried the homemade seabuckthorn lemonade drink which reminded us of a combination of pineapple and orange juice. Our entree was the mussels with onions and wine sauce with fries on the side. Delicious! The waitstaff were so friendly even though the restaurant got very busy while we were there. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We continued to be tantalized by the pouding chomeur with blueberries. The desserts were on display in a dessert cabinet near us. They warmed up the pouding (which is a traditional Québécois dessert) and served it with a drizzle of cream sauce (containing Irish creme ?) . It was a wonderful ending to the meal.

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.

This cute and dainty place has a great outdoor area for you to lounge around and enjoy your gelato, making it an amazing experience! The pricing of this place is very fair, and you can load up and try a variety of flavours given their big cup sizes. I ordered the four flavour size and happily chose blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and mango. In the Quebec region, blueberries are very popular and known to be the best, and the blueberry gelato did not disappoint. It was very fresh and tart and had a genuine fruit flavour. Mango and raspberry was the same. However, with strawberry, I could tell that it wasn't made with real fruit, but syrup or some artificial fruit. I would skip out on that flavour if I were you. I am a fruit lover myself, but they also had a wide selection of chocolate flavours! My friend got the Ferrero Rocher flavour and it was decadent and true to its name! I've had some of Vienna's best gelato, and this place can seriously match up to those flavours! Well done!
