Nice pastry shop selling breads and artisan style pastries with an appeal to the eye and taste! They have coffee and teas as well. With a nice variety the average person is blind to find something they like.
Great french desserts. They have so many éclair flavors. All really delicious. Good service too.
I had the abricotine, it was great.
(Translated) A large selection of interesting products! It's really a great discovery. The prices are fairly standard, but the welcome is warm and there are a few tables for dining on site. There are pastries, but also breads, cakes and other desserts! (Original) Une grande sélection de produits intéressants ! C'est vraiment une belle découverte. Les prix sont assez standards, mais l'accueil est chaleureux et il y a quelques tables pour manger sur place. On y trouve des pâtisseries, mais aussi des pains, des gâteaux et d'autres desserts !
(Translated) Best bakery in Quebec! The quality is phenomenal for the price of the products! Welcome service! Just awesome! (Original) Meilleur boulangerie à Québec! La qualité est phénoménale pour le prix des produits! Service acceuillant! Tout simplement génial!
Good baker. Good meal and pastry.
(Translated) This afternoon, I bought a croissant ham and cheese and I liked it. Whatever was missing a bit of flavor. However, their biscuits are excellent as is their coffee. In addition, their other product seems to me very appetizing. A must as a bakery in the city! (Original) Ce midi, j'ai acheté un croissant jambon et fromage et j'ai bien aimé. Quoi qu'il manquait un peut de saveur. Cependant, leur biscuits sont excellents de même que leur café. Par ailleurs, leur autre produit me semble très appétissant. Un incontournable comme boulangerie en base ville !
(Translated) The best mille-feuilles in Quebec, I am amazed: a very good puff pastry and real vanilla cream. I left no crumbs. The hot chocolate is also very good, not too sweet. (Original) Le meilleur mille-feuilles à Québec, je suis épatée : une très bonne pâte feuilletée et de la vraie crème à la vanille. Je n'ai laissé aucune miette. Le chocolat chaud aussi est très bon, pas trop sucré.
(Translated) Excellent bread, tasty pastry but the price is excessive, that's why I won't put 5 !!! (Original) Pain excellent, pâtisserie savoureuse mais le prix est excessif c’est pour cela que je ne mettrai pas 5!!!
Best pastries and sandwiches I’ve had in North America, hands down. As close to European baked goods as it will ever get in America. Highly, highly recommend.
Good for coffee and pastries. Also have these cookie things that look like their speciality. We will try some.
(Translated) If you pass St. Joseph by chance, try a gourmet breakfast at Croquenbouche: you will return for sure. Salted butter roll, maple and pecan bread, not to mention the warm welcome. (Original) Vous qui passez rue st Joseph par hasard, essayez un petit déjeuner gourmand au Croquenbouche: vous y retournerez c’est sûr. Le roulé au beurre salé, le pain au érables et pacanes, sans oublier la chaleur de l’accueil.
Their olive bread was amazing!
Great great great. No further explanations are needed !!
Nice selection..
Randomly found this place when we were in Quebec City and looking for breakfast and I can comfortably say that it was one of the best finds of the trip. From the moment you step into the store the smell captures you and it only gets better when you bite into one of their sweet or savory croissants. Highly recommend the raspberry brioche
Very cheap, but at the same time good bakery. Nice lady at the front explained us everything. Thanks for having us!
I really like their pastry options. It's good. Fresh and fast. The people who work there are pleasant and they're willing to help. This is one of the better places to go if you want good pastries or croissants.
Delicious pastries!
After exploring Quebec city for the whole day we stopped here for coffee and pastries. The cakes and croissants here are so delicious. Coffee was great too. We like the nice and relaxing atmosphere. I'm glad we stopped by!
I was very disapointed about this place. The pastries looks so delicious but the ones we took were not fresh as it tasted like it was in the fridge for a long time. It gave me a weird aftertaste and I couldn't finish it. It was also pricey for this kind of "quality". I wont go there again.
(Translated) The pastries are as beautiful as each other. And level taste, it's excellent! The service is very good. The salesmen are very pleasant and answer questions without worries. I will return with pleasure! (Original) Les pâtisseries sont aussi belles les unes que les autres. Et niveau gustatif, c'est excellent ! Le service est très bon. Les vendeurs sont très agréables et répondent sans soucis aux questions. J'y retournerai avec plaisir !
(Translated) Excellent pastry with home made products! Recommended !!! …
We had 10 kinds of pastries, all were outstanding! Baguette was delicious as well.
This a great place for coffee, we had a ham, cheese and bechamel croissant, a pistachio eclair and a blackcurrant chocolate mousse, everything was delicious and the best I've had in a long time. Mt mother is a pastry cheff and im very exigent when it comes to pastries. Great place!!!
(Translated) Beautiful creative pastries and also with classics revisited, excellent service and beautiful place (Original) Belles pâtisseries créatives et aussi avec des classiques revisités, excellent service et bel endroit
(Translated) We were lucky enough to stay close to this bakery and we were able to enjoy each morning with delicious baguettes and pastries. Even in France, we do not always have bread of this quality. We recommend this bakery 100% and do not understand the negative reviews. (Original) Nous avions la chance de séjourner tout près de cette boulangerie et nous avons pu nous regaler chaque matin avec de délicieuses baguettes et viennoiseries. Même en France, Nous n avons pas toujours du pain de cette qualité. Nous recommandons à 100 % cette boulangerie et ne comprenons pas les avis négatifs.
Hidden little gem, friendly staff and amazing pastries! Will definitely be coming here again
I missed it, it was closed on Monday, I heard it is really good bakery
I saw the wonderful reviews and visited the Bakery. However, the service I received and the quality of the espresso (which was extremely burnt) didn't match what I have read. I guess it wasn't my lucky day. Definitely has pastries that are Instagram worthy super colourful and mouth watering (shown in the photos) . Hopefully it only happened to me and the rest of the customers experience a better service.
(Translated) Easy: the best bakery and pastry shop in town, by far! In particular: éclairs, chouquettes and macaroons. Small flat on the coffee which lacks taste, but otherwise it is flawless. The saleswomen are also always helpful and friendly! (Original) Facile : la meilleure boulangerie et la meilleure pâtisserie de la ville, de très loin ! En particulier : les éclairs, les chouquettes et les macarons. Petit bémol sur le café qui manque de goût, mais Sinon c'est un sans faute. Les vendeuses sont aussi toujours serviables et aimables !
Awesome pasties, infinite cakes, tasty pizzas and sandwiches. Friendly staff.
They've reduced their bread selection a lot last year, seeing some of my favorites disappear. Desserts are great, and bread is of good quality but I wish their Croissants were more buttery and a bit less cooked.
Wow! An absolute smorgasbord of amazing pastries. I had a Croissant D'amande and Dawn had an Eclair Tradiotionnel Espresso (pictured). Close your eyes and you would believe you were in Paris. Even better! If you are visiting from the States, you must experience this place. You will not be disappointed.
Amazing sandwiches & deserts
(Translated) Full of beautiful and good product against the service aie ... when we ask a question we really feel bother and disturb even when there is no affluence. A shame you just want to know their products .... but otherwise delicious (Original) Plein de beaux et bon produit par contre le service aie... quand on pose une question on a vraiment l'impression s'embêter et déranger même quand il n' y a pas d affluence. Un peu dommage on veux juste connaître leurs produits .... mais sinon délicieux
(Translated) This morning I tried the Cheekbone Caramel Kouign-Amann and hit nirvana. This is definitely the best pastry I have ever had. Everything is good there. Long live the Croquembouche! (Original) Ce matin, j'ai essayé le Kouign-Amann aux pommettes et caramel et j'ai atteint le nirvana. C'est définitivement la meilleure viennoiserie que j'ai jamais mangée. Tout est bon là-bas. Longue vie au Croquembouche!
Excellent bakery with a delicious range of sweet and savoury treats.
Déçu de constater que la galette santé n'est plus végane en raison d'un changement dans la recette... Elle était pourtant délicieuse! J'étais heureux de pouvoir compter sur cette option quand j'étais en ville, mais ce n'est plus le cas. Serait-il possible de penser à quelque chose pour la remplacer? Merci!
Great choices for lunch, not too expensive. Fresh.
(Translated) The lightning was super beautiful and looked appetizing. I took 3 to eat at home. Once unpacked at home, the three were dry and clearly lacking freshness (I'm not even sure they dated at least the day before). Eating them was very bland and tasteless, it was hard to find what they were supposed to taste. (Original) Les éclairs étaient super belles et avaient l'air appétissantes. J'en ai pris 3 pour manger à la maison. Une fois déballées à la maison, les trois étaient sèches et manquaient clairement de fraîcheur ( je ne suis même pas sûr qu'elles dataient au moins de la veille). En les mangeant, c'était très fade et sans saveur, c'en était difficile de retrouver ce qu'elles étaient supposées goûter.
Nice selection of baked goods. Coffee is ok but could be a bit stronger. Cashier was a touch cranky.
This place is top notch and cannot be missed for their pastries. Everything was spectacular and fresh!
I was there today May 12 , 2017, at 6 pm, the serving woman showed up from the rear door, and I saw her taking candies and a cake for a buyer with her hands (!!!) without gloves on, she did not even wash them after touching the handle of the door, taking bank cards from people and giving them their receipts! For the store where a candy of 5 grams is for more than one dollar it's absolutely outrageous .
(Translated) This is the first time I change my mind about an establishment. With this one, the honeymoon ended to make room for a big disappointment. Two times in a row I was served disastrous pastries. No flavor and no freshness.I think they dated yesterday. There is a gentleman (whom I did not see before) who is rather unpleasant and who looks at you oddly when you ask for information about a pastry. I did not. Pity. (Original) C'est la première fois que je change d'avis concernant un établissement. Avec celui-ci, la lune de miel a pris fin pour laisser la place à une grande déception. Deux fois de suite on m'a servi des viennoiseries catastrophiques. Aucune saveur et aucune fraicheur.je pense qu'elles dataient d'hier. Il y a un monsieur (que je ne voyais pas avant) qui est plutôt désagréable et qui vous regarde bizarrement quand vous demandez une info concernant une patisserie. Je n'y vais plus. Dommage.
Excellent and affordable bakery, try the eclairs and Mangue cheesecake
Great pastries and baked goods. Fresh and flavorful. Get a snack or dessert here!
Amazing selection of pastry! Everything looked so yummy and tasted good. The place itself is not very cozy for sitting down though.
(Translated) Very good pastries with a warm atmosphere. (Original) Très bonnes pâtisseries avec une ambiance chaleureuse.

Great service and tasty food ????
(Translated) Very good service. Fast and courteous. Thank you for the welcoming. …
Delicious bakery with very nice choices from mini to over-the-topped sized pastries. The several I purchased - along with a cup of hot chocolate - were all very delicious. Excellent customer service here, too. Plenty of seating and elbow room (nice). And to note - tied to a previous review of a bakery one block up), this bakery accepts credit cards to purchase goods. Highly recommend this bakery!
We wanted a small dessert and this place was perfect! We took it to go but the space is open and simple to stay. There is a large assortment of cakes and other baked goods. All looked delicious but I chose "The Royal". I love chocolate and praline and this did not disappoint. Very rich with a smooth texture plus the crunch of the base. A must place to stop to enjoy a treat!
Tried a lot of different things and everything was delicious. It is a little bit pricey tho, and staff doesn't speak English so that can complicate things a little bit for some people. Overall I'd recommend this place and their delicious jambon & frontage croissants.
Definitely some of the best pastries in the city. You can smell the bakery from down the street. The goodies we got were amazing. The pain brioche definitely won though. So flaky and custardy inside.
Delicious, just get there early. Their pastries are best when fresh.
(Translated) Reasonable coffee prices (with a filling), lots of wood, easy to access, wifi included. It's even ecological thanks to the reusable tableware! Well done! (Original) Prix des cafés raisonnables (avec un remplissage), beaucoup de bois, facile d'accès, wifi inclus. C'est même écologique grâce à la vaisselle réutilisable! Bravo!
(Translated) They are real pastry chefs from France, everything is good, classic and perfect. I was dancing when I ate my first pecan cookies and a croissant …
Great service & amazing food! Pregnant womans dream.
(Translated) Excellent macaroni salad too bad it is not on the menu permanently. (Original) Excellente salade de macaronis dommage qu'elle ne soit pas au menu en permanence.
(Translated) Always excellent service, everything is of high quality, the employees are nice and courteous, the place was nice when you could sit and drink on the spot (before COVID). …
Good range of pastries
This is a must see and experience. The absolute best French bakery experience. The pastry is excellent . The employees are all very helpful and nice. I'll be back as soon as I can make the trip again. Quebec is great.
I came in for croissants and a baguette and returned the next day for the same items as they were fantastic (which in hindsight was too bad as this little bakery has a lot of different products that all looked delicious, and i should have tried them.). Next time i am in Quebec City, i will definitely return to rectify this. St. Roch is a cool neighbourhood and businesses like this just add to the vibe.
Sandwich was bland, and juice was canned. No bueno.
This is a spectacular bakery. The variety of offerings is enormous - from sweet pastry to savory. We spent 3 days in Quebec and started each morning with this bakery's superb offerings. The croissant we tried here were better than anything we found in our European travels and ditto for the hazelnut mousse cake and tart citrón. Our French language skills are unfortunately nonexistent - but the staff all spoke excellent English and were exceedingly friendly and helpful.
Great place to have a breakfast French style!! Best sandwiches and croissants in Quebec City!! The customer attention is fantastic!!! Highly recommended! Very typical French bakery that you must try if you’re in Quebec City!
(Translated) Service disrespectful. I was with my girlfriend and I had a coffee (quite a lot) from another street shop and when we took our order to eat there the waitress answered me with an almost scornful tone and Rude enough that I could not take it for here because of my coffee. No I'm sorry or sorry is it politics or is your coffee finished? She did not even give me coffee, as if I did not even have the choice to eat here. Just contempt. Discomfort. I finally offered him my coffee so I could eat here. Their products are good, but their sense of service is nonexistent. And as I saw in another comment here, it's true that their coffee is bad. It is too hot, their machine is out of order, badly maintained or misused. (Original) Service peu respectueux. J'étais avec ma copine et j'avais un café (pas mal terminé) d'un autre commerce de la rue et lorsque nous avons pris notre commande pour manger sur place la serveuse m'a répondu avec un ton presque méprisant et en me tutoyant rudement que je ne pouvais pas le prendre pour ici à cause de mon café. Pas de je m'excuse ou de désolé c'est la politique ou de est-ce que votre café est terminé? Elle ne m'a même pas offert de prendre mon café, comme si je n'avais meme pas le choix de manger ici. Juste du mépris. Malaise. Je lui ai finalement moi-même offert de prendre mon café pour que je puisse manger ici. Leurs produits sont bons, mais leur sens du service est inexistante. Et comme j'ai vu dans un autre commentaire ici, il est vrai que leur café est mauvais. Il est trop chaud, leur machine est déréglé, mal entretenue ou mal utilisée.
Great.......Visiting Quebec City they recommended me this place and it was pretty good. Good pastries and coffee.
(Translated) Nice choice of desserts! The pizza with vegetables is average, (Original) Beau choix de desserts! La pizza aux légumes est moyenne,
(Translated) Their pastries are very good, especially the chocolate with almonds, much better than those of La Boîte à Pain just next door. The service is nice and they agree to put the pastries in our dishes if they are clean. However, the service is extremely slow. Employees wash dishes and unpack boxes looking at you with a smile while there are 5+ people in line waiting. (Original) Leurs pâtisseries sont très bonnes, surtout les chocolatines aux amandes, beaucoup meilleures que celles de La Boîte à Pain juste à coté. Le service est agréable et ils acceptent de mettre les pâtisseries dans nos plats s'ils sont propres. Cependant, le service est extrêmement lent. Les employés lavent de la vaisselle et déballent des boîtes en te regardant avec le sourire pendant qu'il y a 5+ personnes en file qui attendent.
(Translated) The croissants, pains au chocolat and pastries are exceptional. There are few bakeries of this quality even in France. (Original) Les croissants, pains au chocolat et pâtisseries sont exceptionnels. Il y a peu de boulangeries de cette qualité même en France.
J'adore this place!!! Everything is great the best is the "combo" 2 soups, 2 sandwich and 2 desserts plus drink. I couldn't get enough. Service is really good as well
(Translated) For pastry and croissants, I believe their reputation precedes them (in a word: excellent), what is less known however is that they also have a very good coffee. It's no secret: I love it ❤️ (Original) Pour la pâtisserie et les croissants, je crois que leurs réputation les précède (en un mot : excellente), ce qui est moins connu cependant c'est qu'ils ont aussi un très bon café. C'est pas un secret : j'adore ❤️
Great eclairs with unusual but fantastic flavours! Try out lemon or cherry!
(Translated) Staff very welcoming and listening! Good advice ... the cakes are just succulent !! I had my bill maiiissss it was worth it !! (Original) Personnel tres accueillant et a lecoute ! Bon conseil ... les gateaux sont juste succulant !! Jen ai eu pr ma facture maiiissss sa en valait la peine !!
(Translated) The bread and pastries are of high quality. The service is also very friendly. However, I do not recommend hot chocolate. I took it several times but they weren't hot enough unlike the coffee. (Original) Le pain et les pâtisseries sont de qualité. Le service est également très sympathique. Par contre, je ne recommande pas le chocolat chaud. J'en ai pris plusieurs fois mais ils n'étaient pas assez chaud contrairement au café.
(Translated) Nice discovery. Their pastries are sublime (Original) Belle découverte. Leurs pâtisserie sont sublimes
(Translated) Always a lot of varieties of breads and pastries and everything is very good! A few tables also allow you to have a pastry and a good chocolate or coffee to warm up :-) Note that this is changing owners and little by little it will apparently change the formula a bit from February 2019 ... so watch out. (Original) Toujours beaucoup de variétés de pains et pâtisseries et tout est très bon! Quelques tables permettent aussi de prendre une pâtisserie et un bon chocolat ou café pour se réchauffer :-) Notez que cela change de propriétaire et petit à petit cela va apparemment changer un peu de formule à partir de Février 2019... à surveiller donc.
Been there twice while staying in Québec! Really great place to have a cup of coffee with delicious dessert! Eclairs are very tasty!! If you want to have a great selection of desserts, try to come earlier. They also have handmade chocolates and full-size cakes, the staff is very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!
I visited this place day before yesterday morning and since I cannot stop thinking about their dark chocolate eclair. It is godly, their pastry cream is so rich and fresh, something best you can have outside of Paris. Please do walk to this place even if you have already eaten lunch at the famous La Boite e Pain. The pastries at this place are unmatchable anywhere in Quebec and they have a good selection of bread and soups too. Also, the staff is friendly to inform you regarding the selection of breads and pastries available.
Friendly service, tasty hot chocolate. The spinach salmon quiche was good but still pretty cold after heating so I think it may have been frozen.
Amazing! Just had desserts and coffee. The staff was very nice and helped us kindly as we didn’t speak French. I will definitely come again and would recommend to anyone visiting Quebec City.
(Translated) Wow ... I bought two baguettes, pastries for the kids, mille-feuilles and pains au chocolat. Each item was absolutely perfect in taste and presentation. For my part, I live in Charlesbourg but I will make the detour …
I ordered two sandwiches, a brioche, and a coffee. The brioche and coffee were good, but the sandwiches were very disappointing. They gave me the wrong sandwich and they were very cold and bland.
Amazing pastries!
(Translated) Courteous and friendly staff !! The sandwiches are excellent !! Everything is delicious !! I highly recommend it !! (Original) Personnel courtois et sympathique !! Les sandwichs sont excellents !! Tout est délicieux !! Je le recommande fortement !!
Loved the croissant. Though not the freshest batch but still liked it
Awesome little bakery. Loved the bacon bread especially.
Nice cozy place. Nice variety of pastries and sweets, as well as some savory sandwiches and breads. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.
The real deal. Save some $ and walk down the ramparts into town to eat the best pastries in Quebec City.
Wonderful sandwich, great.desert. Split both with my wife - perfect!
(Translated) Just bought a mille-feuilles and the puff pastry is so burnt it tastes very bitter and it just tastes burnt. It also smells of burnt. Very bad decision to sell such products. It was my favorite pastry at the time of the owners who opened this business. I had not been back since they sold, and will not be going back. What a desappointment. #edit: following the response from the trade. I studied cooking and baking and had a career in gastronomy. I can confirm that the puff pastry from the mille-feuilles that I bought was burnt to the point of not being edible and did not taste really good. The person who accompanied me also threw away the one she had bought when I got home for the same reason, without having mentioned it before. I very much doubt that anyone would have liked this product as it was sold to me. It is insulting to travel to buy a product, to bring it home to find that it is not mengeable. (Original) Viens tout juste d'acheter un mille-feuilles et la pâte feuilletée est tellement brûlée qu'elle a un goût très amer et ça goûte juste le brûlé. Ça sent aussi le brûlé. Très mauvaise décision de vendre de tels produits. C'était ma pâtisserie préférée à l'époque des propriétaires qui avaient ouvert ce commerce. Je n'y était pas retourné depuis qu'ils ont vendus, et je n'y retournerai pas. Quelle déception. #edit: suite à la réponse du commerce. J'ai étudié en cuisine et en pâtisserie et eu une carrière en gastronomie. Je vous confirme que la pâte feuilletée du mille-feuilles que j'ai acheté était brûlée au point de ne pas être comestible et ne goûtait vraiment pas bon. La personne qui m'accompagnait à aussi jetée celui qu'elle s'était acheté une fois rendue à la maison pour la même raison, sans en avoir parlé avant. Je doute fort que quiconque aurait aimé ce produit tel qu'il me fût vendu. C'est insultant de se déplacer pour acheter un produit, le ramener chez-soi pour découvrir qu'il n'est pas mengeable.
Time of Visit: Early evening on August 19th Order: Lots of desert and pastries Pros: Chocolate, pastry, balance of fruits and chocolate …
(Translated) Common bakery, nothing exceptional, a little disappointing in view of the opinions, lunch menu quite expensive for a classic bagel (Original) Boulangerie pâtisserie commune, rien d'exceptionnel, un peu décevant au regard des avis, menu midi assez cher pour un bagel classique
Great place to go for gelato, pastries or sandwiches.
The eating area is small but the tables can be arranged to accommodate different size groups. They even have toys for kids to play with. The food was good and the owner even made rounds to ensure everyone had what they ordered.
Very yummy desserts
Loved all my selections Crossaint so good
They are very nice. Croissants and sesame bagel were amazing!! Such yummy desserts.
(Translated) Update of the number of stars: the service is now every time much warmer and more cheerful. A place not to be missed! With the recent change of owner, I find that there has been an improvement in quality. By cons ouch the service. Don't necessarily wait for a smile or a goodbye! I am a regular customer and often it's just if you want to talk to me ... Too bad it spoils a bit! (Original) Update du nombre d'étoiles : le service est maintenant à chaque fois beaucoup plus chaleureux et souriant. Une place à ne pas manquer ! Avec le changement de propriétaire récent, je trouve qu'il y a eu une amélioration de la qualité. Par contre ouch le service. N'attendez pas forcément un sourire ou un au revoir ! Je suis un client régulier et souvent c'est tout juste si on veut bien me parler... Dommage ca gâche un peu !
I wanted to try french bakery and this was a perfect little place with great selection of all baked goods. Service was very friendly Everything tasted great and fresh
What ya hope for - made right there, amazing sweet treats and harty baked goods. Friendly staff. Can't wait to return.
First of all, the street this place is on (St Joseph) is the coolest street we found while in Quebec City. We wanted a morning baked good and many people were going to this bakery, so we decided to give it a go. To be honest, the food was …
I saw the wonderful reviews and visited the Bakery. However, the service I received and the quality of the espresso (which was extremely burnt) didn't match what I have read. I guess it wasn't my lucky day. Definitely has pastries that are Instagram worthy super colourful and mouth watering (shown in the photos) . Hopefully it only happened to me and the rest of the customers experience a better service.
Very friendly staff, clean and well organized display. Delicious pastries and cozy atmosphere. The croissants and hot chocolate were delicious.
Great croissants, super fresh and quick service.
Was going to give a 5, until I was having horrible diarrhea and vomiting after half hour eating their rum baba. Had a rum baba with fruits on the top, it looked good and the first few bites of …
Wonderful for having breakfast! Everything is delicious!!
It's an ok place, expensive though.
This place is great! Nice little bakery. Staff are very friendly. Good coffee and deserts!
Great food. The service could be better though.
Good food
Great pastries and the sandwiches are fantastic (and cheap).
(Translated) Excellent pastries, friendly place, an island of happiness (Original) D'excellentes pâtisseries, endroit aimable, un ilot de bonheur
The most deserving 5 star review I have EVER given!! This place is extraordinary. There prices are too low in my opinion for the amazing quality of food and selection they provide. You are crazy if you do not stop here for a bite to eat! We have been everyday we have been in Quebec. Keep up the amazing work!
(Translated) I really liked the Choco-Noisette Granité. The Strawberry Kouign Amann was good, but I remember it tasted better a year ago (more flaky, more buttery). The croissant was very ordinary though. (Original) J'ai bien aimé le Granité Choco-Noisette. Le Kouign Amann aux fraises était bon, mais j'ai souvenir qu'il était meilleur il y a un an (plus feuilleté, plus beurré). Le croissant était très ordinaire par contre.
Our favorite out of 5 places we had visited in Quebec City. And we went there 4 times in 3 days. While we resisted most of the creamy desserts, we did try one of their eclairs and it was wonderful. Out of all the pastries we tried, there were a couple that we didn't like. They use good quality ingredients. The employees were friendly and patient, as my French was rusty. Keep up the good work!
(Translated) Great bakery and pastry shop in Quebec. I tasted the almond croissants to die for, the raisin bread, the raspberry brioche everything was really excellent! (Original) Formidable boulangerie pâtisserie à Québec. J'ai goûté les croissants aux amandes à tomber, le pain aux raisins, la brioche aux framboise tout était vraiment excellent !
Best bakery in Quebec City! Everything is delicious!!
(Translated) As soon as you enter, it's a very pleasant place to snow. There are pretty and lovely desserts all over the place. That's why it's a very difficult place to choose what to eat. This was my first visit, and as a test, I decided to try four small tarts first (see photo). The total price is around $7. The first and second ones from the right tasted just like that, but the two on the left are okay. The first one on the left has a very peculiar crunchy texture, and it goes wonderfully well with chocolate, and the strawberry cheesecake next to it has a rich taste. On my second visit, I tried Eclair, and this is also recommended. I thought it was very sweet, but it wasn't too sweet or irritating than I thought, so I was able to eat comfortably. There are many layers, so it has a variety of flavors. The Eclair is a bit more pricey than the mini tart, and it cost about $10 for two. On my third visit, I bought a chocolate crunchy mousse cake. It was a cake with very little bread, and almost entirely made of mousse. I didn't put it in the refrigerator and it melted, so I suffered a bit. It is very sweet, but it is very soft and the texture of the crunchy part is very unique and good. The cake was about $25. (Original) 들어가자마자 눈이 너무 즐거운 장소예요. 사방에 예쁘고 사랑스럽게 생긴 디저트가 즐비해 있으니까요. 그래서 그만큼 뭘 먹을지 고르기가 너무 어려운 장소이기도 해요. 저는 이번이 첫 방문이었는데, 일단 시험 삼아 작은 타르트 네 점을 먼저 먹어보기로 했어요(사진 참조). 가격은 총 7달러 즈음. 우측에서 첫 번째 두 번째 것은 맛이 그저 그랬는데, 좌측의 두 개는 지이이인짜 괜찮아요. 좌측 첫 번째 것은 매우 특이하게 바삭거리는 식감을 가지고 있으며 이게 초콜릿과 기가 막히게 잘 어울리고요, 그 옆에 건 딸기 치즈케이크로 진한 맛이에요. 두 번째 방문에서는 에클레어를 먹어보았고, 이것 또한 추천할만합니다. 굉장히 달 줄 알았는데 생각보다 많이 달거나 자극적이지 않아서 편안하게 먹을 수 있었어요. 레이어가 많아서 다채로운 맛이 납니다. 에클레어는 미니 타르트보다는 조금 더 가격대가 있는 편으로, 두 개에 약 10달러였어요. 세 번째 방문에서 초콜릿 크런치 무스 케이크를 구매했어요. 빵은 아주 약간 들어있고, 거의 전체가 무스로 이루어진 케이크더군요. 냉장고에 안 넣어뒀다가 녹아내리는 바람에 고생 좀 했습니다. 많이 달지만 굉장히 부드럽고 크런치 부분의 식감이 되게 독특하고 좋아요. 케이크는 약 25달러였습니다.
Amazing place
Incredible Galette de Roi and croissant almandre. And the best decaf cappuccino that I’ve had in a long time. Fantastic bakery!
Amazing selection of desserts that are super beautiful to look at. The meringues are delicious and packaged to go. We had an eclair that was really yummy. Seating available inside and accepts credit cards.
One if the Best bakerie un Québec City
First French bakery that I've been to!! Chocolate croissant was delicious and huge. Employees were super friendly and nice. We are from Pennsylvania so some things they had to explain to us haha.

Excellent food!

Nice spot, great croissants
(Translated) Pastries, lightning, sandwiches, flavored meringues, breads. Aaaaah everything is still just magically good at Croquembouche. The only not insignificant problem at this shop: the service can sometimes be so slow that it is a bit irritating. Once we have been answered by cons, it is courteous and it rolls! (Original) Les pâtisseries, les éclairs, les sandwichs, les meringues aromatisées, les pains. Aaaaah tout est toujours juste magiquement bon au Croquembouche. Seul hic non-négligeable à cette boutique : le service peut être parfois tellement lent que c'en est un peu irritant. Une fois qu'on a été répondu par contre, c'est courtois et ça roule!
We visited yesterday and wanted one last taste today, however, they are closed on Mondays!!! :( Everything we had was super delicious and fresh. Stop by, you won't be sorry!
(Translated) Delicious pastries for lunch (or anytime). Super homemade ice cream sold on the street or in larger sizes for the home. And of course a large choice of pastries. (Original) Viennoiseries délicieuses pour le déjeuner (ou n’importe quand). Super crème glacée maison vendue sur la rue ou en plus gros formats pour la maison. Et bien sûr un grand choix de pâtisseries.
Good place for macaroons and breakfast
(Translated) A bakery and a sure value of pastry and chocolate in Quebec City. The property has been recently refurbished and offers more space for guests who want to enjoy the on-site Croquembouche treats. (Original) Une boulangerie et une valeur sûre de la pâtisserie et de la chocolaterie à Québec. L'établissement a été complément rénové récemment et offre plus d'espace pour les clients qui veulent profiter des douceurs du Croquembouche sur place.
This bakery shop was near to my Pur hotel. I give it five star because of their bend-over-backwards service; When I tried to get an ice coffee for my brother, they politely said they don't serve an ice coffee, but they suggested to visit several shop nearby who serve an ice coffee. Moreover, their pastry were delicious and everyone in my family liked it.
It’s a bit on the sweet side to my taste. Service was excellent. Friendly staff.

(Translated) Best pastry shop in Quebec. The raspberry and white chocolate croissants are a real delight. The choice of lights is really good (Original) Meilleure pâtisserie de Québec. Les croissants aux framboises et chocolat blanc sont un réel délice. Le choix d'éclaires est vraiment bien
Most amazing banana bread ever. Everything else I’ve tasted has been average (chocolatine aux amandes, croissant, cheesecake, etc) or just not good (ice cream), or really bad (pear and choco muffin); but the banana bread is so amazingly good that I’ll keep coming back forever.
(Translated) Best pastry in town (Original) Meilleur pâtisserie en ville
Excellent choice of baked goods. Great sandwiches!
Great selection, friendly staff and atmosphere.
Nice collection of French Patisseries and breads. espresso coffee is good but not great
Amazing bakery. Went one day to try it out and we returned again today! Sadly, we can't come back because we are leaving Canada
Best pastry and bakery place. We visited Quebec City and this bakery was very near by where we stayed . It was a great treasure place to enjoy delicious bakery and pastry . Everything we tried was excellent .
Ok but the pastry was not fresh enough
(Translated) In the top ! A VERY good bakery! It's been a long time since I had eaten such a good Chocolatine. Very good lightning too. A quality bakery. Thank you. (Original) Au top ! Une TRÈS bonne boulangerie ! Il y a bien longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé une aussi bonne Chocolatine. De très bon éclairs également. Une boulangerie de qualité. Merci.
(Translated) It’s very good. (Original) C'est très bon.
The bread and pastry are very delicious.
Great! Everything! Lots of variety and all fresh. Friendly service as well. European style bakery in QC. If you like quality, this is the place to go.
Always a delight.
Decent pastry. Not cheap but understandable given the huge size The creme brulee is also worth trying
(Translated) Excellent choice of sandwiches prepared on site for lunch! For me, it's a no brainer when I don't know what to eat. When it comes to desserts, you have to have a sweet tooth. Personally, it's less my thing. I find they have gone too hard on the sugar. (Original) Excellent choix de sandwichs préparés sur place pour le midi! Pour moi, c'est un no brainer quand je ne sais pas quoi manger. Pour ce qui est des desserts, il faut avoir la dent sucrée. Personnellement, c'est moins mon truc. Je trouve qu'ils y ont vont trop fort sur le sucre.
Awsome
Wow! Yummie
Disappointed with the pastries here, too sweet for me.
Great artisanal sandwiches on the freshest bread possible. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. A true gem.
(Translated) We eat vinoiserie and it was very delicious. We tasted the butter in the growing and it was flaky. We have seen that work to make this delicious croissant. (Original) Nous avons manger des vinoiserie et elle était très délicieuses. On goûtait le beurre dans les croissant et il était feuilletée. On voit qu'il ont travailler pour faire ce délicieux croissant.
(Translated) Very nice cafe with a wide selection of pastries, snacks and bread and rolls. The coffee is great. Real cups and not disposable cups. Good homemade chocolates. Definitely visit! …
This place is absolutely unbelievable - on our last visit here (we are from the states) we met an older couple from Paris, they indicated that they had traveled the world and extensively in France and that they had never had been in a patisserie as good as this one. It has been 5 years since our last visit to Quebec City, and my wife has been dreaming of it since. We are here now and just made another visit for breakfast yesterday and purchased a box to take with - it is everything we remembered it to be. Really excellent!
too good
Bûches de Noël excellentes nous nous sommes régalés. Galette des rois au top. Ravis d'avoir trouvé cette boulangerie
Love this place. Still very good after owner change. From the breakfast pastries to the cakes and the bread. All is good. Didn't try their chocolate yet, but it looks pretty to the eye. They also have sandwiches and small plates for lunch, will need to try that once next time I go. It's very hard to find a parking space on that street. It gets on my nerves sometimes. I will go around few times in most cases before I find a spot. But it's worth it ;)
(Translated) The best pastry in Quebec! The chief pastry chef, a Frenchman, sees this quality and unmatched taste that cannot be found anywhere else. (Original) La meilleure patisserie à Québec! Le pâtissier en chef, un Français, ce voit à sa qualité et son goût inégalé qu'on ne retrouve nul part ailleur.
this is a wow place!!! Go in early as it does get a bit busy. Friendly service. The lady recommended a few items to us and we are so glad because they were wonderful. Esp the Kouign Aman (strawberry). Loved it so much that we packed a few to take with us!!.. Their croissant is so flaky and amazing. Must try place and loved being there
Neat, great customer service, great coffee.
Good pastry shop, long queee. We loved everything about this pastry shop, even the staff provide best hospitality service. We ordered crepes and some sweet pastry..It was delicious..
(Translated) Very good pastries. Banana bread is excellent. (Original) Très bonne patisseries. Le pain au banane est excellent.
I have tried a variety of breads, cakes, chocolates, brunch menus, sandwiches, coffee and ice cream! Certainly one of the best in Quebec city!
Nice staff, pastries could be a bit dry/plain.
(Translated) Still as good (Original) Toujours aussi bon
Delicious almond croissant and of course kouign amann! One of the servers didn't seem too friendly (didn't greet us but seemed to welcome others who spoke more french) but the other woman was sweet.
Great food, good prices. Get a little busy towards noon on weekends.
(Translated) I had a delivery problem with this pastry. They still took the trouble to email me back, apologize and reimburse me. Top reliability and respect for customers! (Original) J’avais eu un problème de livraison avec cette pâtisserie. Ils ont tout de même prit la peine de me répondre par mail, de s’excuser et de plus me rembourser. Fiabilité et respect de la clientèle au top!
I was so terribly disappointed. I had read that this was the best croissant in Quebec city. Quite honestly, it was on the par of a mass produced grocery store croissant.
I have NEVER had such a perfect buttery and melt In Your mouth croissant in my life! All of their food is the best I have ever had of its kind. I didn't even care about how much money I spent! It was the best! That funny taste you get from a frozen dough was absent and you can tell they were made fresh that morning. My only regret is that I didn't discover it sooner!!
(Translated) Wide choice of pastries (Original) Vaste choix de pâtisseries
Lovely service~ good food and the sorbets were really good too! Speaks English as well but the items were all in French
(Translated) Very good bakery, the desserts are excellent, refined. The bread is good, as well as the pastries, as a French I have found the taste of home. (Original) Très bonne boulangerie pâtisserie, les desserts sont excellents, raffinés. Le Pain est bon, ainsi que les viennoiseries, en tant que française j'ai retrouvé le goût de chez nous.
(Translated) Succulent sandwiches made with their bread. As for pastry, I suggest you go there to take your breath away. .. and taste buds. They offer mini dessert portions. What a wonderful idea for me who has trouble making a choice among their delicacies! (Original) De succulents sandwichs faits avec leurs pain. Côté pâtisserie, je vous suggère de vous y rendre pour vous en mettre plein la vue. .. et les papilles. Ils offrent des mini portions desserts. Quelle merveilleuse idée pour moi qui a de la difficulté à faire un choix parmi leurs gourmandises!
EXCELLENT FOOD LOVED IT AND THE LADY WORKING HERE WAS VERY NICE WHEN I FORGOT HOW TO SAY FORK
Looked good, yet to taste, price bit steep.
(Translated) This bakery so warm reminds me of those I visited in France when I was very small! The bread so tender with a good coffee in the morning, nothing better to start the day! Let yourself be tempted by a sweets, you will not be disappointed ???? (Original) Cette boulangerie si chaleureuse me rappel celles que je visitais en france quand j'etais tout petit! Le pain si tendre avec un bon café le matin, rien de mieux pour bien commencer la journee! Laissez vous tentez par une sucreries, vous ne serez pas deçu ????
Awesome pastries and coffee. Perfect place to stop and enjoy a bite.
(Translated) I chose this bakery to make a shipment to my brother who was recently operated, they put a minimum of $ 35 but until it reached $ 51 they did not let me order it online, it is very expensive but when my brother showed me how great each product was gasp ,, the croisanes are as big as a span of the hand ,, I recommend it 100% but they should lower the price to order online, I do not understand that I had to spend $ 51 to close the order. (Original) Escoji esta pasteleria para hacer un envio a mi hermano que estava recien operado,,ponen minimo 35$ pero hasta q no llegue a 51$ no me dejaron pedirlo online,es bien caro pero cuando mi hermano me enseñó lo grande que era cada producto me quede boquiabierta,,los croisanes son tan grandes como un palmo de la mano,,lo recomiendo 100% pero deberian de bajar el precio para pedir online,no entiendo que tuviera que gastar 51$ para cerrar el pedido.
It has been a couple of years since we have been to this bakery, but I just found our photos that we took there - and all the memories came back. WOW what a stunning selection of baked goods and pastries! Staff was very nice and pleasant. We were able to sit down to enjoy these goodies at clean tables. Simply a perfect place and a great choice for a snack/quick breakfast or lunch.
(Translated) It's beautiful and it's clean. The decor is relaxing and there is space. Well-stocked counter and beautiful variety of products. Beautiful execution and aesthetics is number 1. Good service during my visit. I had an almond croissant that was not bad but not very fresh. Relatively hard. Not the day or the night is sure. I may have been unlucky. (Original) C'est beau et c'est propre. Le décor est relaxant et il y a de l'espace. Comptoir bien garni et belle variété de produits. Belle exécution et pour l'esthétique c'est numéro 1. Bon service lors de ma visite. J'ai pris un croissant aux amandes qui n'était pas mauvais mais pas très frais. Relativement dur. Pas du jour ni de la veille c'est sûr. J'ai peut être été malchanceux.
(Translated) The pastries are exceptional! I ask my partner to bring some back for every business trip to Quebec. Strongly a branch in the metropolitan area !!! (Original) Les pâtisseries sont exceptionnelles ! Je demande à mon conjoint d'en ramener à chaque voyage d'affaires à Québec. Vivement une succursale dans la région métropolitaine !!!
Just superb! Go----you will not be disappointed!
(Translated) Having heard that it was THE place for macaroons, I am disappointed with their taste. Really not so good, lots of other places in Quebec that are more worth it for the macarons AND even for desserts in general! Really disappointed with my experience. However, it served me well! (Original) Pour avoir entendu que c'était LA place pour les macarons, je suis déçue de leur goût. Vraiment pas si bon, pleins d'autres place à Quebec qui en valent plus la peine pour les macarons ET même pour les desserts en général! Vraiment déçue de mon expérience. Cependant on m'y a bien servi!

Les éclair au chocolat sont succulents ainsi que les chocolatines. Véritable coup de coeur pour cet endroit. Le personnel est aimable et prêt à vous conseiller. Je recommande l'endroit si, vous êtes amateurs de viennoiseries et de pâtisseries.
Wow what a bakery. Lot of options to eat and everything is superb. I tried the almond crossaint, a danish (i wish i remembered the name), an eclair. The crossiant and the danish were the best. This is going to be my go to bakery in QC. Authentic and exquisite french bakery foods.
(Translated) Sadwich with 3 meat with a dubious appearance (orange) restaurant less good since reopening and price too high (sadwixh + liquor almost $ 13). Less little cake than before too I could not go back to me who was a regular. (Original) Sadwich au 3 viande a apect douteux ( orange) restaurant moin bon depuis réouverture et prix trop elever ( sadwixh +liqueur presque 13$). Moin de petit gateau que avant aussi Je ne retournerai pu moi qui etait une habituée.
Loved the selection of pastries and rustic bread. Really wish we had a bakery at home like this. One of my children said, "this is a reason to come back to Quebec city".
If you are going to Quebec City, add this place to your itinerary. Everything we purchased was so fresh and good.
(Translated) Succulent! A real French bakery / pastry shop! (Original) Succulent ! Une vraie boulangerie/pâtisserie à la française !
They have tasty bread and super perfect coffee. I highly recommend here.
Insanely good!

Les éclairs sont delicieux tout comme leurs sandwichs maison et leurs pains...à chacune de mes visites j’aimerai pouvoir tout acheter ! ^^
Quebec croissant filled (very filled ) with a luscious strawberry filling that is not too sweet. Perfect Raisin bread is dark on the outside with plenty of raisins inside - a good choice indeed!
Amazing!
Best croissants you will ever have! Best bread too!!!! So yum

AMAZING sweets!!! Wish they'd open in Ottawa.
Great selection! Awesome pastries!
Visiting Quebec City from Vancouver and went in two days in a row. Both days were great. The baked goods are FANTASTIC and the prices seemed to be the lowest around. $3.75 for a chocolate croissant in the old town and $2.30 for the same size croissant here. Can't say enough about the place. Oh yah, in addition to the fantastic food, as I speak only broken french, the people behind the counter seemed happy to speak english with me. If you want pastry, do yourself a favour and head over here.
Amazing desserts, friendly staff
