Nestled in the heart of bustling Magog, Quebec, I stumbled upon a charming little brunch spot that turned out to be a true hidden gem. With its warm ambiance, steady buzz of conversation, and the scent of fresh coffee wafting through the air, this cozy café immediately set the tone for a memorable morning.
We began our experience with a round of craft beverages—Dirty Chai, London Fog, and a robust Italiano, all beautifully presented. The London Fog was a standout—silky smooth with an aromatic depth that’s hard to find in your typical coffee chain. The subtle interplay between the Earl Grey tea and steamed milk, delicately sweetened with vanilla, made it feel both familiar and elevated. The Dirty Chai, on the other hand, had a mysterious spice note—something almost elusive, perhaps cardamom or clove—that gave it a rich, complex profile. It was bold, comforting, and absolutely worth savoring.
For the main event, we ordered two of their signature dishes: the Atlantique and the Italiano. While both featured the classic brunch foundation of perfectly poached eggs nestled atop a toasted English muffin, they each brought their own character. The Atlantique, layered with smoked salmon, was light yet indulgent, with the fish adding a briny richness that paired beautifully with the creamy hollandaise. The Italiano leaned heartier, featuring thick-cut bacon that was crisped to perfection, adding a satisfying crunch with every bite. In both dishes, the eggs were poached with precision—yolks gloriously runny, gently cascading over each forkful.
Accompanying the main plates were fresh seasonal fruits, and I truly mean fresh. Each bite of melon, berry, and citrus tasted like it had just been picked. The textures were vibrant, the flavors natural and sweet—an underrated detail that elevated the entire experience.
But the unsung hero of the meal? The waffle. Light, golden, and airy, it soaked up the pure maple syrup like a sponge, creating a perfect sweet-and-savory contrast when paired with eggs and bacon. It was indulgent, yet not overly heavy—exactly what you hope for in a Quebecois brunch.
The café itself is located on a lively street in downtown Magog, surrounded by quaint shops and ideal for a post-brunch stroll. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a place that invites you to slow down, sip slowly, and savor every bite.
Final thought: This is the kind of brunch that lingers in your memory. From the quality of the ingredients to the skillful execution and the soul-warming beverages, everything felt crafted with care. If I could start every day here, I absolutely would.

Beautiful ambience. Haven't tried the food yet but the desserts and beverages are delicious. 10$ for a pastry looks expensive at first, but when you look at the size of the pastry, you will understand. 2 of us could not finish 1 pastry together. So yeah.

Great food! I took the food with porc. Can’t remember the name but quite delicious with spicy potatoes. Loved it . I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn’t busy.

30$ for the shittiest pizza I've ever had. Not worth it. Order anything else I guess.

Very pretty place with a superb terrace unfortunately it was much too cold to access it... Very nice varied menu without too much extra and a nice wine and alcohol list. We are very well received there and with a very nice smiling touch. Certainly worth rediscovering. Thank you again for your good service

Excellent! Unfortunately I was not able to try their meal but their dessert option especially their carrot cake was exceptional the price simply unbeatable $10 for a piece so big I had difficulty finishing it between two people. Clearly I might come back and try more of this establishment!
