Third wave coffee at its best for Quebec City. No doubt people running this place have a lot to say about coffee. And if you like brewing your own coffee at home, the bean selection roasted on site could make your head spin. It is a 5 star if you’re an espresso drinker but 3 star if you like it with steamed milk the reasons being that 1) they are using the cheapest brand of milk you can find in the market how sad. It’s like pouring gravy out of a tin on a prime Argentinian beef (no, no, no please don’t do this) and 2) it is steamed too hot to enjoy the natural sweetness milk can bring to a cup of coffee.
If you love coffee and want a serious treat, get thee to Cantook. Walk a few minutes from the tourist center to Rue Saint-Jean and have a coffee chat and a cup that will delight you. I had a pour over of a fermented coffee from Costa Rico. It was delicious and super unique. The best part was the engagement from the baristas who were friendly and happy to go deep on the choices. Pick up some fresh roasted beans while you are there.
I felt a little silly seeking out coffee in Quebec to bring back as a souvenir, because it's not like coffee grows in Canada! But I'm so glad I did! We just brewed our first pot of the cantook coffee and WOW. For the first time in my life I actually drank black coffee and enjoyed it. It is so smooth and delicious, very noticeable difference from the coffee I buy at the grocery store!
I visit this cafe every time I come to Quebec City. I don’t know why they ripped all the personality from the shop? But they did for a coat of boring plain beige pinky paint. All the personality and charm ripped out with one stroke of a brush. Coffee is still amazing as always.

Amazing cafe in Quebec City serving the best coffee I had during my two weeks in Quebec. Service was fantastic (as is generally the case in Quebec City) and the pastries were also fantastic. I would readily recommend this place to anyone staying in Montcalm and surrounds.
This is my favorite coffee shop and roaster in all of Canada. The best thing to come out of the pandemic was they started offering shipping around the country and i can finally enjoy the best brew at home.
We came here 6yrs ago and the coffee continues to amaze! This slow drip iced coffee was very cool. Roasting right in the store in front of you. Bought some Costa Rican beans to take home too.
Excellent coffee! Quick and kind service. Fair prices. We got coffee here two days in a row. We tried their lattes, macchiato and cappuccino and all were incredible. Espresso was
