It’s a small place, but the hot chocolate is very good. We also tried some pastries and they were delicious!

One of the best coffees I have had in my travels through Canada. The food is also great and complemented by great service. Worth stopping in and warming up.

Loved this place, we came back a second time in the same day. The coffee is delicious and they have a great variety of flavored lattes! The chocolate muffin was a bit dry but the croissant was extraordinary! Definitely recommend.

Stopped by for breakfast and had a latte, maple latte, chocolatine, and a chicken sandwich. The food and drinks were good, nothing extraordinary, but solid for a touristy area.

The café itself is tiny but cozy, and the view is what makes it special: right in front of the church, with snowy weather and people passing by. It created a perfect winter-morning vibe, and I really enjoyed that atmosphere.

⭐ 4.3/5 — Nice spot mainly for the view and ambiance.

This place is fantastic. If you are an American and used to getting a kilogram of sugar a day sprinkled throughout all you food, then this is your place. Try the hot chocolate. So good. The staff was friendly, albeit I think some of them were in training. Not a lot of room to sit, but it is in a tiny, ancient building. The historic photos inside are worth looking at. Give a good understanding of the area before it was refurbished.

Excellent filter coffee with their home brewed blend. The wait is incredible long but it was very good. The raspberry chocolate pastry is delicious and fresh.

The space is tight though, most of the location is people standing in line and very few tables squashed together.

Very lovely and welcoming staff. The pecan pie slice was huge and just what I wanted. But I couldn't taste the maple in the maple latte, and the apple turnover wasn't anything special, though its shape was cute. Overall very sweet, but I think that's on me for what I ordered.
