Really cute cafe with friendly staff. We actually planned to go somewhere else, but as we passed by, the atmosphere and the options for breakfast/brunch made us stay in the Café Pékoe. There are not that many vegan choices, but the one I had - the vegepate Sandwich - was delicious. If you’re not vegan there’s a lot of other options in bagels and sandwiches. Plus the coffee is amazing! It’s not that strong, which made it the best coffee I had while traveling Quebec. Also I really appreciated the atmosphere. A few people where just chatting, or getting a quick coffee, some seemed to study or read. I’d definitely come back for a study session or just another coffee!

Cute little cafe across from the hotel we were staying at, so we decided to check it out. The decor was simple yet cute. The staff were friendly and very patient in explaining the menu to us. They offer a variety of coffee and teas. But in addition to that, they also have fruit juice and bubble tea. I got a assam black tea latte. It was pretty good. The flavour was strong. But it was not creamy enough. I'm not sure if they used actual steamed milk or just regular water and then added milk. I also got a double chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was okay. Nothing special. Overall, it's a decent cafe, nice place to chill at or studying in

  • Enno S

Cute little café with a lot of drink options. More or less every coffe, tea or bubble tea combination on this planet is in the menu. Therefore it is impossible to find something you don't like. Home made soup and some amazing banh mi make the perfect breakfast or lunch snack. Service is fast and good and the prices are reasonable.

We came here for a quick morning coffee, and a snack. We tried the carrot muffin and I got a cup of filtered coffee. The baked goods were extremely delicious and the coffee was good too. They have a lot of seating with the large benches for families and they have some smaller tables. They also have a space for you to sit and work with Wi-Fi and electrical outlets. The staff is really helpful and they speak both English and French. I like the space a lot and would definitely recommend a visit.

The guy at that who took our order and made us pay didn't really have a good attitude. He was kind of a little bit rude. The food was ok, nothing really special. The soup was very good though. I don't think the place is worth the rating they have, but you still go and try it yourself.

  • Romy Alyssa Ltrn

The decoration is absolutely lovely ! The drinks menu is original (for quebec) and nice, they all taste good. It feels really good to be there. This place is strongly inspired by Taiwanese culture and traditions which is refreshing. But dont be fooled, it s far from being Asian. The soup was delicious, the reste tasteless and so small : definitely over price. Plus, the staff was nice and smiling but very very very slow even though no rush at that time. If you want to go there to work or study, it is well organized for that, but bring a jacket it is freezing there !!!

  • C H

Unfortunately we found our iced vanilla lattes very disappointing. The service was slow however , it appeared that they got extremely busy all at once as we happened to walk in while it was quiet and we’re followed by a handful of different groups. The staff was extremely kind and the ambiance/vibe in here is absolutely wonderful! It looks like they make their baked goods and breads in house so I would imagine they are pretty tasty!

Very cute place! While I was able to make out most of the menu, the staff kindly walked me through the vegan options in English. I enjoyed the végé banh mi (not quite traditional, but still tasty) and spinach soup. It was nice to see they also had a variety of vegan baked goods & ice cream. Would love to try those if I’m ever back in the area!

  • Arthur Jameson

Wonderful coffee and tea shop. I got a chocolate banana bread as well as a classic chai latte. The spice in the chai was super yummy. The banana bread was moist and rich. The girls who served me spoke both English and French. I don’t speak any French but they were still warm and welcoming. The WiFi has a solid connection and was steadily fast. There were quite a few people just chilling and hanging out. It really was a relaxed spot for escaping the freezing outdoors.

  • Jing Lu

Excellent coffee shop in the heart of St-Roch district. We found this little gem by wandering along St-Joseph street. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Their coffees are deliciously brewed. There’s also a very decent selections of premium teas. My daughters LOVED their milk shakes and cookies. It is also dog friendly. Competitive prices for the quality of coffees, 10x better than Starbucks! Staff bilingual and very courteous. Highly recommend!

  • Heididoudeli

I work right next to this place, love their bubble teas but two things bug me. 1: they took the mango jelly bubles off the menu, it was my favorite. 2: The WAITING time is insane. Even if there is only 2-3 people in line the service is extremly slow and has always been, so i almost never go unless there is no line and i have 15 minutes to spare waiting. Overall good but needs faster employees. They take their damn time ;)

  • Basilique Tek

Love this place. The staff is very friendly. Their bubble tea is not like Taiwanese bubble tea but it is awesome. Rich and sweet, but doesn't taste artificial. The bubbles are always fresh, which is something I always look out for. The only sucky thing is that it is hard to find a seat as it is always full. I'd wish they would install more chairs and more smaller tables so that I could find a seat every time I come.

  • Hassel Aviles

Went here multiple times on my stay with my daughter in Quebec. Was a highlight of your trip. From the lovely staff with great recommendations to the variety of food including bahn mi’sand bubble tea’s (peach and green tea are delicious) this is standout! Thank you to staff and chefs for providing such lovely experiences.

Nice place to hang out. You can access to free wifi and there are a lot of plugs to charge your phone/laptop. I ordered taro milk tea and the flavor wasnt so strong. Also, I ordered salmon bowl with rice and salad. It was a bowl prepared before, so the basmati rice was cold because it was in the fridge. I wish it could be warm rice. Other things in the bowl were good.

  • Nicolas Gignac

My favourite place in town to get bubble tea! Now that bubble tea stores are popping everywhere around the city, I've tried a few but nothing beats Pékoe. Not overly sugary and with a great variety of flavours. I've also tried their cookies and bánh mì... guess what? Also delicious! It's a great place to just sit down, relax, and read a book or study.

  • Sarah W

My girls and I keep going back for the banh mi-inspired sandwiches! The baguettes are baked on site so they are fresh and delicious. The scones are also so yummy. I love the raspberry one. The prices are reasonable too. My one daughter loves the oreo milkshake, and the other the bubble tea, myself, I order the chai latte (served in generous portions).

  • Leslie Jones

Café Pekoe was opposite the Hotel Pur where we were staying, and handy for breakfast. They have a vast range of teas which are freshly brewed and served in your own pot. Lots of fresh baked goods, scones and cakes. If you want something more substantial they do soups and other light dishes. Their decor is funky and service is good with a smile.

  • Sophia Pan

Came here based on the rating and reviews. Not disappointed at all! Cute cafe with a cozy environment. I ordered the passion fruit milk bubble tea - the milk and tea retained its taste in the drink while having a rich passion fruit flavour. The hazelnut hot chocolate was also very good!

Their milk bubble tea is awesome, they blend it until it has a thick layer of foam and there isn't too much sugar in it. My favorite is peach with tapioca. I also had a sandwich there. Nothing too impressive, but good. Just know that drinks and sweet snacks are their specialty.

Strongly recommend the milkshake and the hot chocolate. And definitely order the bol poke with salmon. The waitress is very nice and patient.

Most white washed poke bowl I’ve ever had. Went and got a poke bowl in old Quebec and it didn’t have canned corn in it and black beans, much better. The rice isn’t even seasoned. And again... there was canned corn in my poke bowl... I’m so sad... and hungry.

  • Ondřej Krpeš

Loved the place! Had a nice vibe, cozy and the chocolate & latte were just too good. Very reasonable prices for such a big portion! Probably the biggest you can get around. Staff was very helpful and kind. Definitely would come back but leaving tomorrow :(

  • Tim S

We grabbed a quick lunch and a drink here before leaving to go home. I'm glad we stopped here. I had the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life, here. The soup and sandwich I ordered were also amazing. This was a great last meal in Québec!

  • Maria Mainart

Chai latte was good but even though I was the only one ordering, it took quite a bit. Great space but mostly filled with computer campers, I much prefer loud coffee shops where people go to hang out and meet friends. Nice place though :) More

  • Simon Hopkins

A very cute cafe with affordable prices and good plant based options. The drinks all have milk alternatives and they have veg and non-veg desserts and ice creams. The prepared food is south-Asian style like banh mi and poké. They have tofu

  • kushagra mehra

A cafe that also sells boba and bubble tea. Thats got to be popular with kids. Found this place walking in quebec city and it didn’t disappoint. Speciality coffee with planty of tables to sit. Bagels are also very tasty. Milkshakes, tea,

  • Andre Quirion

Good ban mi. Bit slow on the service, but you get a very nice sandwich. Update : Sadly going down with the St-Josrph curse. Bubble tea a used to be the only good one nearby, nowadays they're just not good at all. Mostly ice and tasteless.

  • David Raymond

Hands down, some of the best coffee I have ever had. My wife and I, by chance, were staying at the hotel across the street for a few days. Each morning, we got our coffee here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Fabulous!

  • Saajid Sookram

The interior is super minimalist. There are plenty of places to sit. I ordered a mango bubble tea with tapioca and they didn't have enough. So they made up the rest with my choice of pearls. They also sell metal straws.

  • Helena Jacobs

The service was decent and the food was also quite good. It's a bit overpriced in my opinon. I did have the best smoothie of my life here though (strawberry banana).
