50 Best Coffee Shops in Quebec

“Amazing coffee and great treats! Got a latte and breakfast sandwich and felt like I was really cared for. A bit out of the main area, but that's why you should definitely check it out. Friendly vibes and an amazing place to grab coffee and plan your day out.“

“Vraiment mes amis j’ai adoré le concept et surtout l’ambiance cocooning et chaleureuse 🥰 Toujours en mode création!!! Vous etes des artistes accomplis 🌹♥️🥰😘“

“all around amazing experience!

the coffee was made with care and it shows in the taste. the croffle was also so fresh and sweet— be sure to try one!! it compliments the rich flavors of the coffee very well.

my friend and I also had a great conversation with the barista. he was welcoming and thoughtful.“

“Super endroit qui accepte les chiens en laisse j’ai pu travailler et déguster un bon café et un sandwich et que dire de la limonade à la rhubarbe délicieuse. Le personnel était super gentil et avenant. C’est beau et l’ambiance était super j’étais supposer écouter une formation mais la musique était trop bonne donc j’ai travaillé sur autre chose 😅“

“I walked in here by chance, the decoration is very fun but also quite extravagant, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

The café itself has very little space to sit: there’s a narrow bench along one window and a small counter with four stools facing the other window (though realistically, it fits about three people comfortably). Since there was only one person working at the time, service took a little longer than usual, and our drinks were served in disposable cups.

To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the best cappuccinos I’ve had in Québec, absolutely delicious. The espresso was also excellent. The spinach and feta scone was solid, and the pistachio roll/muffin was a real treat.

Inside the cafe, it’s a bit hard to tell what day or time it is, the place has a kind of surreal, timeless atmosphere. They also sell various souvenir-like items and specialty products.

Definitely worth stopping by.“

“I had a great experience at Nili Café! The staff member working there was very polite and friendly, making me feel welcome right away. It’s rare to meet someone who creates such a positive atmosphere. The service was excellent, and I’ll definitely come back again“

“Mon fils et moi adorons y aller en prenant une marche!“

“Petit déjeuner samedi matin: pancakes a la citrouille. Je suis seule mais pas seul. Un bel endroit où je me sens comme chez une amie. Le service est toujours courtois. Je suis la seule dépassée 40 ans .Tout le monde s'en fout! Merci aux administrateurs ou trices de choisir du personnel aussi gentil et accueillant!“

“Beau café situé sur St-Joseph où je passe occasionnellement lorsque je suis de passage à Québec. Café toujours excellent.“

“C'est sans doute l'un de mes spots préférés à QC, ça fait quelques fois que j'y vais, soi par moi-même ou avec mon cercle d'écriture, et nous sommes super bien accueillis et servis, le personnel est hyper agréable, souriant et compétent.“

“My friend and I had just finished dinner when we decided to take a walk along the streets of Quebec.
I loved the spirit of the city — even in the freezing cold, thousands of people filled the streets, walking together as if celebrating a sacred day, like the return of Christ himself. There was a sense of unity in the air, as though everyone shared one heartbeat, blessed in the quiet grace of God.

As we strolled, my friends noticed a group of Chinese girls taking photos inside a cozy coffee shop. Being Chinese themselves, they laughed and nudged me to go check it out. The place was packed — utterly alive. Though it called itself a coffee shop, it served wine and cocktails too, and the crowd buzzed with energy. Conversations, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the space. Despite the noise, I felt a deep joy to be among them, caught in that moment of shared exuberance.

The French people had something special about them — a natural charm, tall frames, and radiant ease. None carried the heaviness I often sense in Ontario. They seemed both grounded and spirited, effortlessly alive.
At one point, an older man stood beside me in the checkout line, grumbling softly but somehow adding to the scene’s character. Soon after, we found seats, and the drinks arrived quickly. My friends insisted they tasted far better than the ones we usually get back home — and I had to agree.“

“wow wow , l'employer incroyablement gentil et le matcha woow je suis en amour ! Très belle découverte !!!“

“excellent Latté ❤️❤️.“

“Belle découverte, superbe petit café, belle ambiance relaxante, agréable en attendant mon train ☺️“

“Une expérience a ne pas manquer! Une équipe joviale disponible à l’accueil ainsi que de bons petits plats/café/thés/etc… à notre disposition!“

“I visit this cafe about 2 times a week, before work. Each time, the service is impeccable. One of the employees knows my order by heart which is always nice. The products are fresh, the places are clean. There are plenty of seats, a big plus“

“My friend and I visited this afternoon on our way to the train station; even with large suitcases in tow we were able to tuck them into a corner and were welcomed by the staff and the kitties. This cafe is very cozy and feels more like being invited into someone’s home than a commercial coffee house; that said, the croissant and mocha are on par - if not better than - other coffee shops in the area, especially in terms of value for price. The cats all seemed happy, and it was nice to see them napping openly around the cafe - a sure sign that they trust their environment and their humans! As well, it’s so refreshing to see a business that makes an active effort to be inclusive in their hiring practices, in terms of prioritizing employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, with autistm, etc. We look forward to coming back the next time we are in Quebec!“

“J'ai acheté le café pour capsule réutilisable. Ça fonctionne et c'est délicieux. 5/5“

“Great discovery, wide choice of flavors. It's original and very good! I recommend the place. The puffs are a little greasy but at the same time they're fried so that's normal. Their ice cream is also very good. I would definitely come back. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Excellent biscoff flavor. A much appreciated little sweet treat.“

“🙋and good service with agreeable service“

“très cordiales les assiettes sont chaudes“

“A Perfect Morning Start in the Heart of Quebec City!

If you're an early riser exploring Quebec City, La Maison Smith is your ideal breakfast stop. Opening early and located right in the center of town, it’s a blessing for travelers like us who need a quality refuel before a long day of adventures.

The space is surprisingly spacious and inviting—I can easily see why it’s a favorite among freelancers and locals looking to work or socialize in a relaxed setting. We tried the croissant breakfast sandwich, and oh my—it was absolutely delicious! Flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor, it was satisfying yet had us wishing we’d ordered another.

The coffee was smooth and rich, perfectly complementing our meal. The staff were warm and helpful, offering suggestions and serving everything promptly—no long waits even during the morning rush.

Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a cozy work session, La Maison Smith delivers a delightful experience. We’ll definitely be back for that unforgettable croissant sandwich!“

“Un café adapté pour les familles. C’est tellement agréable de pouvoir discuter avec des amis en laissant mini jouer / socialiser. J’habite à 30 minutes en voiture du café, et le déplacement en vaux la peine!“

“Fantastic matcha. The best matcha I’ve found in Canada overall, it had a clean, umami taste. Not fishy like some of the matchas I’ve had in the area (no clue why this is the case). The barista asked for allergies before recommending anything, which was very thoughtful.“

“Très bons lattés à l’érable! Service impecc’“

“J'ai testé le service traiteur et c'était malade 🤤 Tellement bon et santé, j'avais plus envie de m'arrêter 🙈 Je recommande!!“

“quand tu commandes un timatin saucisse-bacon et qu'on te sert une omelette 😭... pas cool...j'ai vu ma commande à ma shop, malheureusement pas le temps de ramener.😥“

“Love it! Love it! Love it!

Friendly staff. Clean and interesting atmosphere. Incredible quality drinks and food. Our new favourite place in this category. Another good reason to get back to QC ASAP!

There's some fascinating history to this brand as well if you're into that kind of thing, which, presumably you are, if you're visiting QC.“

“캐주얼한 분위기에 커피도 맛있습니다.“

“DÉLICIEUX CAPPUCCINO!!!! ❤️“

“Je m'y rends souvent pour le service à l'auto. Sincèrement, c'est un des services à l'auto Tim Horton le plus rapide! On attend rarement. Jamais eu d'erreur pour ma commande! Vous êtes efficaces et il faut le souligner!“

“Le Starbuck Beauport est ma succursale préférée à Québec. Le personnel est souriant, courtois et toujours polie. Les employés sont motivés, à l'écoute et très gentil. À plusieurs visites on m'as fait rire, dis un compliment et souhaiter une magnifique journée. C'est toujours un plaisir d'y aller !“

“Best coffee I've ever had really just outside the old city great location and atmosphere, very nice staff on st jean ( John) street on one of coolest street in Quebec City it's the Bohemian neighborhood with many shops and restaurants with a great atmosphere just outside the old city but is one of a oldest neighborhoods in the city great pubs as well.“

“Mon spot pref! Personnel chaleureux et belle ambiance.“

“My regular at Sainte Foy... The coffees are by far better than elsewhere.. I went to the one at the pyramid yesterday because I was close for a white chocolate mocha.. You would have said he had put a handful of sugar in it was undrinkable!! At first I thought it was me but I decided to go to the one in Place Sainte Foy and the difference was striking, my boyfriend approved. Service is faster too.“

“Très bon service à la clientèle. Je recommande le sandwich au falafels !!!!“

“Personnel très sympathique ☺️“

“This was a wonderful pastry shop that offers a wide variety of delicious foods, including salads, breads, juices, milk, and so much more. What a treat it was to have it so close to where I stayed. It will definitely be on my agenda for my next trip to Quebec!“
