This coffee shop is a chain in Quebec City, so you’ll find multiple locations, all worth visiting. You have to get a salted caramel latte and a grilled cheese here, they’re both addicting! You'll also find a plethora of macarons here, like seriously in every flavor imaginable.
This place lives up to its name! A cool coffee shop to stop for lunch and a coffee, or bring your laptop and get some remote work checked off here. Their soups are perfect on a chilly day, and the chai teas are giant. Yum! Another bonus, the decor and vibe are definitely a big hit.

If you want unique pastries, you definitely need to visit Cafe Pekoe. While you couldn’t go wrong with any of their pastries, we highly recommend the earl grey scone and chocolate coconut carrot cake bar if available! Another great place to work, but be ready for it to be busy. Seating may be limited.
A hip, chill place to stop for caffeine, Nektar is a popular place for digital nomads and college students to hang out. It has a great vibe with hanging plants filling the atmosphere with pretty greenery. Nektar is the perfect chill place, no frills here.
Another popular place for college students and digital nomads, Cafe Saint-Henri has a killer selection of donuts! From pistachio to creme brulee to Biscoff cookie donuts, if you’re a fellow donut lover you simply have to stop here. Make sure you stop by early, the best donuts sell quickly.
If you’re looking for something more unique, head to Tintico! They offer amazing coffee and tea drinks along with mouthwatering Colombian cuisine. From empanadas to tequeños, everything here is SO good, we would go back in a heartbeat and order it all. And not to pick favorites, but Tintico tops my list of the best coffee shops in Quebec City.
In a quieter, more residential area, you’ll find Book and Coffee Shop Saint-Suave which is just as it’s called! This coffee shop doubles as a little bookstore, and they sell French books as well as some books in English. You'll find daily specials, including some veggie options for food.
Swap the books out for athletic wear, and you’ll be in Faux Movement! This modern coffee shop offers great drinks in a fantastic location. It’s close to the Chateau Frontenac, multiple famous murals, shopping, and more. A fun place to pop into, browse their gear, and sip on a yummy drink.
Located in another great area is Les Brûlerie St-Jean. It’s close to the busier downtown area of Quebec City. They also have an upstairs here so it’s a great place to get some work done too! The hot apple cider is amazing here FYI.
Now you know the essential details of what the best coffee shops in Quebec City are, where will you be stopping first? These were hands down our favorite spots for a hot latte or London fog, and we would gladly go back to any of them.
