206 Rue Ste Marie, La Prairie, Quebec J5R 1G2, Canada
Sympathique café au coeur du quartier historique du Vieux La Prairie.
I come here to work! It has a great quality to price ratio and a very homey feel to it. If you're looking for a cute coffee shop on the south shore I recommend this one for sure! From the sandwiches to the soups to coffees to desserts, I've tried alot of it & you can't go wrong. Definitely a hidden gem (although it's often very busy so not so hidden!)
Nice staffs . Very cozy environment.
Great place. Great coffee. Average to work from. Bring your own wifi as theirs is spotty..
Terrible cafe - will not return! The chocolate chip scone was stale, dry, tasteless and expensive at $5.35ea + taxes. The coffee was horrible - no flavor! Staff slow to serve. Many tables were dirty with dirty coffee cups from previous customers.
The atmosphere on a nice sunny day is amazing. The staff is friendly, and the store is family friendly with lots of entertainment for children. The food is very good, but a bit expensive for the small portions.
Lovely little place in the heart of la prairie old town - very good food and service and fair price.
you go there for the vibes. It's a nice little cozy place, kid friendly, the waiters are very kind. Everything food wise is basic, small and pricey, over 5$ for iced coffee and 8$ for a small omelette and a slice of bread. I spent 16$ and still went to A&W after because it wasn't filling.
Located in the heart of Vieux Laprairie, this is a small coffee shop with a very cozy atmosphere. The décor is very eclectic and centered on a gas/electric fireplace. Not only can you get excellent coffee and a wide variety of teas, but they offer a small but varied food menu. Of course what coffee shop would be complete without a selection of decadent deserts? Have some time to kill, besides offering the usual free WiFi and magazines/newspapers there are also a variety of games available for children of all ages, and I am including myself in that group. The menu is distributed amongst a series of chalkboards visible immediately as you walk in. Once you have made your selection place your order at the counter and take a seat if you intend to eat on the premises. And before you know, someone will be bringing you your order to your table. On this, our first visit, I chose try their Dragon tea, a type of green tea, with the Rosbif sandwich and the soup of the day. The soup was their take on a slightly spicy cream of corn. Meanwhile Marcela ordered a Latte and the Twist sandwich with a salad. The Twist is a turkey breast wrap with a healthy dose of Havarti cheese. For desert we shared a pecan torte that was delicious and that was just the right amount of sweet. Apologies, we forgot to take a picture of the torte. To sum the meal we had a delicious meal that was filling without making us feel stuffed to the gills. I have seen a few comments from others on various sites saying that they were unhappy with the service. My experience was completely the opposite. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and followed up at with us at regular intervals. All in, taxes and tip our lunch costed us just shy of 44$ which kind of surprised considering what we received. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that our meals were expensive, it was simply by no means cheap. Will I be going back, absolutely especially in the summer when the outside seating opens up. However at his price it is not somewhere that I will go out of my way to visit regularly.
I recommend!!!
Very nice!!! And delicious!!!
Excellent for a good dinner. Very welcoming and competent staff.
Only order espressos, they dont know how to do anything with foam properly! The place is dirty. They should change the chairs. Old, uncomfortable and dangerous! They are all broken and taped up.
Always delicious, their pumpkin caramel latte is divine! Their bagel sandwiches are exceptional. These are the best bagels Ive ever eaten in my entire life
Great atmosphere, warm and very good and generous food. Smiling service!
Excellent coffee and pastries. Bagels great.
C est regrettable, mais la gestion de la cuisine a été laissé a des jeunes, sans expérience, sans aucune formation. Mous avons eu droit a du saumon congelé, des tartines complement raté et un service catastrophique. Nous sommes conscients que c est des petits jeunes, mais les gestionnaires devraient y penser avant de sacrifier la belle réputation de ce café.
Great coffee, location, people, food and place to work
Such a lovely discovery!
I love this place. The coffee is excellent, there are board games to pass the time or to entertain the children
Charming little place especially in the back court yard.
Nice ! Just a little lack of training for Italian coffee, milk too hot, too much coffee versus milk, coffee too bitter in my opinion!
Excellent food! Affordable prices. The employees could guide new customers a little more through the procedure and smile a little :)
Excellent cafe. I go there regularly to work or write. The late night is delicious and the lunch sandwiches are always fresh. The staff is very friendly and friendly. I highly recommend
Lovely cafe. The food is very good and the coffee is excellent. Very pretty terrace at the back! Beautiful atmosphere and excellent service.
Scones are back!!!!!!!!!! EXCELLENT
Adorable and popular. Nice terrace in a historic district. Put yourself in French coffee mode and don t be in a hurry, it s worth it.
Nice quiet place for lunch.
Small cafe in the old neighborhood of La Prairie, they have a few games you can play, a terrace in front and back (the one in the back is covered) and the service is perfect. Very nice experience, we plan to come back Dietary restrictions: They have lactose-free milk and cheese, not soy or almond replacements, but real 2% lactose-free milk.
Great place that we just discovered. Very good food, great little bistro, relaxed atmosphere. The 2 people at the entrance were smiling, patient and took the time to explain how it worked. Very pleasant customer service. We will return there often.
Slow service, 25 minutes for two black coffees... On a previous visit, the chai latte had no taste...
Warm, rural atmosphere, view of the church and ancestral buildings of the neighborhood, simple and tasty dishes, fast service, several choices of food and drinks depending on our mood. Sometimes there are special events. It is next to the church square where there are the Jeudis du Vieux La Prairie show evenings. It is also a perfect place to stop for hikers, being located close to the cycle path and the river. Its a bright place with quality waitresses. Vegetarian options: Wraps, grilled cheese, drinks, desserts Parking: The pretty streets of Vieux La Prairie are accessible and there is also parking for everyone. Kid-friendliness: There are little games for children.
Great place to study in winter and summer!
Quaint coffee shop with good food in the heart of Old La Prairie. Parking: Free parking behind the church if available; limited parking on the streets nearby Food : 4/5 |
I recommend
Very good, good quality/price ratio, impeccable service and great atmosphere
The employees prefer to talk among themselves instead of serving you when you wait in front of them
We love this coffee place. I usually only get lattes, but they re perfect and the place is super cozy.
Very nice discovery. Fresh food. Courteous service. What more could you ask for?
Peaceful place
Cute place, lots of choices for food, family friendly. One huge star knocked off for two things: 1) ordered tea that came in the tiniest pot, no cream/milk or sugar on the side 2) ordered a sandwich that was pretty much just bread. We went to the front to ask to add more prosciutto inside... It came with one tiny slice that didnt even cover the whole sandwich, and two dallops of cheese. They added one tiny slice....to only half the sandwich! What do you even say at that point? It was nice for a one time visit but we wont be back based on our experience. Hopefully it was just on account of the person working at the time.
A well-kept secret in the old LaPrairie district, lots of people when I went there, good choice of food, board games are a plus!
Simply the best coffee in La Prairie. Kid-friendliness: Lots of toys and board games to keep the children busy.
Love the atmosphere of this place! So welcoming!!
Very nice discovery
Came here for a coffee. Such a cute vibe. Love the ambience in the garden.
Its cute, and fun, and the coffee is wonderful.
Very nice place and very warm. Outstanding service from the employees. I find the prices a little expensive though but I would definitely go back.
Very good coffee and food but terrible service. When we arrived (4 p.m.) we were told that they only served drinks and desserts, in a very frustrated tone. I ask if they make smoothies and we answer, with a tone of discouragement, uh ok. I think we can go and have our coffee elsewhere, like at Lapostrophe or Webster where the service is at a higher level. Unfortunate.
I love showing this place to my friends who come from other municipalities. Everyone loves it I always have to bring my boyfriend a sandwich if I go without him everything is delicious, the price is right. Quality products and service. Well done to the whole team!
New discovery, a cozy atmosphere, good coffee and sandwiches -Oat milk latte - Rigeaulo sandwich - Tomato soup of the day
It s a nice place to have a coffee and a light meal. The pastries seem to be of good quality. However, I was very disappointed with the quality of our order. Onion soup had no broth and the taste was not there, the cheese was dry due to the quality of the cheese chosen. So very disappointed I took a small legume salad which was very small for the price. I ordered a matcha tea latte which I returned because there wasnt much marcha tea powder. They made me a new one but it was the same thing. The powder ended up at the bottom because we didnt mix it enough before adding the milk, which by the way was powdered milk. I would have had a pastry but we waited at the cash register watching the employees do other tasks without looking at us. So I decided to cancel my order. The priority is not customer service, which is a shame.
Very nice discovery during a long lunch break! Lots of choice and quality products, we ate very well and we will be happy to return to rediscover this place for the sunny days. I highly recommend this cafe! The staff is smiling and attentive, everything you need to have a good time with friends or family! Thanks to the whole team :-)
Nice cafe. I came twice and it was always super full, so not the best place to work in peace. But nice nonetheless.
Good food good service pretty $$ THANKS.
My place to unwind on the South Shore.
Perfect place to enjoy a good coffee and a good sandwich. Favorite for the vanilla latte.
Beautiful atmosphere in the heart of old La Prairie A pearl to discover!
I usually go with my son on bikes to this cute and cozy café, and we enjoy a very good variety of bakery products and hot & cold beverages, not to mention the welcoming staff and the good service!
Exceptional customer service! The coffee of the day/selection of the moment is excellent and comforting. A big 10/10!
The BBP sandwich is very good - the maple cranberry bread is magnificent. Their QG salad is also very good, the chili peppers compliment the dressing very well. I had the house iced tea, which was good but a bit pricey.
The HQ waffles are just perfect! The sandwiches are superb and the atmosphere is really nice.
Small cafe bistro in the heart of old La Prairie. Nice atmosphere
Small, friendly restaurant located in a beautiful location! The grilled cheeses are really good and the staff is really nice! A nice pit stop for cyclists!
Nice staff nice coffee!
Nice little neighborhood cafe. The front and rear terraces are superb
Very nice place for brunch. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, and the food is deicious
Very good machiato served in beautiful cups, what a joy!
Delicious sandwiches. You will love it!
Very nice Acceuil, good ice teas and delicious sandwiches.
Really a very nice café in the old town of La Prairie. When I went there it was quite busy but the service was very efficient and I didnt wait long. The coffee is really good, as are the things to eat. Courteous, efficient and smiling service. #: espresso, Mocha, Cappuccino, bagel, pastries, Loop, breakfast sandwich.
Beautiful atmosphere, very kind and welcoming staff!
Amazing coffee shop, cozy spot! Very good cafe, very cozy!
Must try!! Delicious food. Consistent quality Food : 5/5
Terrible service! They were overwhelmed on a Tuesday afternoon with just a few customers. I had to clean the table myself after the previous customers. I do not recommend it. Terrible service!

Its just great! A great team, very friendly, an atypical, friendly place...we recommend...
Good value for money
I adore this place. Everything from the location, food and service is just excellent !
Coffee, sandwiches, desserts, etc. are available. Everything is delicious there. Its a calm, super warm and at the same time dynamic place. Several board games are available for all ages. The best bistro/cafe on the South Shore without a shadow of a doubt.
I enjoyed some sweet time with my daughter before taking her to her summer camp not so far away for coffee. I bought a vanilla iced coffee and I really liked it! Not too sweet like the other places so the coffee taste was still able to stand out. Im not in this area often but its definitely worth the time to stop by for a coffee and say hello to the team :)
Dog friendly. Beautiful old Town charm with view of church. Excellent service.
The manager Marie-eve is the most unprofessional and rude person that I ever met. I go to this place a lot and bring many customers. My family are restaurant owners and I am a manager at a big bank. If the owners keep this manager they will lose lots of business. I would love to speak to the owners to warn them about how this person is killing their business with her lack of motivation to work and unprofessionalism. I love this place and I would be sad to see this place go down because this manger doesn t care at all and is basically making the clients go away. She basically throw us out of the restaurant in the most impolite way because we were 9 people. If she would have told us that she can t accommodate and we should go to another place we would have completely understand. She let another employee sat us down and when we came in she saw that we are 9 people. After 20 minutes that we were sitting down with kids she came to us and told us that we can t sit there and change our place and told us that she can give us a place only for 6 and doesn t care if we are 9 people. When I told she should speak to us a bit nicer she said she doesn t care and we should leave and when I told her that I bring a lot of customers she said that she doesn t care. She used the I don t care phrase at least 10 times in our 5 minutes conversation. I really feel bad for the owners and I hope that they do something about Marie-eve.
Would be better if the staff didnt confuse the orders or forget the utensils (happened on more than two separate occasions).
Warm welcome. Very smiling staff! Excellent meal and beautiful presentation. Reasonable waiting time at rush hour. Pleasant historical place. I loved eating on the back patio. THANKS !
À ne pas manquer si vous passez dans le coin de Laprairie. Un bijou! Une atmosphère chaleureuse et authentique qui vous accueille à bras ouverts. Le café est divin, avec des arômes envoûtants et des saveurs exquises. Les pâtisseries artisanales sont un régal, et que dire des salades? Une délectation! Bref, une expérience incontournable pour les amateurs de café de quartier!
A beautiful café in Vieux Laprairie. A good blueberry muffin filled with this little fruit.
Great discovery on the recommendation of my nutritionist!
Great find!
Efficient, courteous, good.
Lovely little cafe! Impeccable service and excellent food! Sometimes a bit of a wait but, its worth the wait!
Beautiful place, great atmosphere from the team and the owner. Enjoy a stroll in Vieux Laprairie.
Terrible experience! All the personal is very kind except for the older woman that works during the Thursday morning. She came to me with a plate that I didn t order (the waitress made a mistake ) and she was talking me in French with a terrible attitude knowing that I don t speak French yet. I was calm and respectful all the time, another waiter helped me, he was nice but this woman was making a show in the restaurant , even the other clients was looking at me as sorry for me to be in that situation , because she was talking bad about me.
Wow nice little place Very warm terrace, very warm staff, people who love what they do Delicious food, I love it
Cute and homie atmosphere, but the coffee has been very inconsistent for the couple times I ve been here. It really depends on the barista. I ordered smoked salmon bagel, but it has come frozen this times. Otherwise, it s a nice place .
I love this place so much I can go even every day. I recommend
Always a pleasure to be there...
Magnificent little place to eat, have a coffee or work in peace. Excellent service as a bonus
A little too crowded for the staff present. But it s an extremely friendly and rustic place, the coffee is very good, we had brunch there
The food is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for studying :-)
Really nice; good products, nice atmosphere and friendly staff! I recommend
Adorable little bistro, exquisite food!
I like this place, the people are very friendly, their coffees are excellent, there are also sandwiches, smoothies and small desserts, its worth the detour.
Small, intimate and friendly corner at the same time superb place
Very good food, helpful and nice surroundings
Amazing ambiance..
Small plate, great service, what a vibe
We encourage locals for a Sunday lunch!! Onion soup good but lacks a bit of punch (a bit bland!) Very good cheese and apple sandwich!
Very reasonably priced coffee, breakfast, grilled cheese, sandwiches, soups, salads, smoothies and pastries in Old La Prairie!
Great place
When there saturday about 2:00 first time.Love the setting small terrasse in front with parasols, place inside With air condition.Also other terrasse in bk.Had a very tasty Hardy soup, cappuccino, sandwich with duck rillettes with caramised onions grilled not like a regular ham + cheese sandwich...lol Also very clean washrooms and staff friendly + polite. Will surely go bk this summer again.
Bistro with a good choice in the heart of old Laprairie. About 200 meters from the cycle path. Back patio too! Pleasant atmosphere and refined decor. I will go back!
Super nice and fast service! Excellent food and drink, 100,000% worth the price!!!
Beautiful terrace, good pastry, good Chai Latté. Friendly service.
A superb little restaurant, with a simple but tasty menu. The staff is always friendly and the back terrace is very pleasant for relaxing.
Loved it. They even had a play area and they have toys of all ages.
New discovery and wow! I was a customer of the café before and I must admit that the headquarters is even better! Friendly staff and delicious menu. This is definitely my new favorite place! Go visit their back terrace, it s beautiful!!
Good selection of coffees produced by an expresso machine. Good croissants, buns, brownies to go with the coffee. How pleasant to sit down in the wooden terrace under the local beautiful church.
A little corner of paradise
Excellent coffee and peaceful terrace
I love this coffee! I go there often and the atmosphere and the variety of the menu are very pleasant! A little weakness for the laughing sandwich see you soon!
Cute little courtyard, excellent and well-stocked sandwiches and friendly and competent staff! Well done
It s a nice place but PLEASE REMOVE THE OMELET FROM YOUR MENU cause it s just a piece of plain yellow plastic!
A perfect place magnificent I love the decoration, the calm, the kindness and above all the delicious food!!! Quality products, original recipes to taste, enjoy, savor... you will have understood that I love the HQ, I highly recommend it!!!!
I had lunch with homemade waffle, Swiss cheese and tasty white ham. Salty, sweet, with maple syrup. Ytes bonet delicious.
Its been a year since I went there and someone just asked me why 3 stars. Hmm, I guess the food was just ok.
Warm place, perfect for taking a break during the work day or simply going to dinner
Excellent
Nice place to have a pause for ice cream while walking around in Old Laprairie. Interesting object from the 60s.
Alright.
I love this place, the coffee is good but the back yard patio is beautiful and calming!!!
Great friendly place
The food is so good here. Definitely would come back again!
Everything is good, coffee and food
Very welcoming, a great outing with my children, we loved the cozy atmosphere, the delicious sandwiches, the good soup and all the games!
I love the beautiful atmosphere, congratulations!!!
Only sweet dreams at Headquarters! The children playing the piano while we had a good coffee with the beautiful decor of our city that we can see through its large windows. Memories in the heart.
Good coffee and good cakes
Parking: Never a parking issue. Plenty on the street Kid-friendliness: Often see kids on strollers with parents enjoying their coffee
Lovely place
An experience to do and repeat
Always pleasant service! Succulent food and good coffee I go back often.
I tried their Choco-Mint Latte, and its the best latte Ive ever had. It drips milk, mint, chocolate. As promised. Delicious! As well as their sandwiches. The atmosphere is so warm, the employees friendly. Our baby was starting to be uncomfortable, and they brought us some toys. It feels good to have such great service. Atmosphere, food, employees. 5 . I cant wait to go back!
Nice coffee
Very pleasant experience. Coffee, food and service exceed expectations. Very pretty area too. I recommend!
Super friendly staff. Super nice terrace, in an ancestral house in Vieux La Prairie. Attractive and trendy menu. Only downside: a little too busy for a Wednesday in the middle of the morning.
Cute little neighborhood café
Perfect coffee and lovely sandwiches. Very pleasant outdoor space.
If you like to drink real good coffee, in La Prairie its the ONLY business that does it.
Great service and warm atmosphere!
Great stay, very well kept room and the area around it is really nice. The Machiatto room was really clean and had everything I needed. Thanks!
Quite charming!
What a beautiful, friendly place My friends and I (the knitters hi hi) loved our culinary experience! Thank you Rebecca
A gem! I loved it and will go back. Huge crush on this café, its staff and its little treasures sprinkled everywhere...special note at the tables with the inlaid board game plates - brilliant. Definitely worth the detour.
I went there often and the quality of the food and service was always there, but I was very disappointed during my last visit. First of all, there was no reception when I arrived. No hello, no mask smile even though I was the only customer to order. Also, I paid $12.50 for a latte and a scone and that seems like an excessive price to me. I even made the young woman who served me repeat it to make sure there was no mistake. When I opened my gingerbread latte once on the road, I was surprised by its heady scent. The young woman seemed to have improvised the recipe (although it was basic) and to have spilled too much spice liquid in it. As a result, the coffee was undrinkable. The scone was delicious. Fortunately! Its certain that I will give the HQ another chance, which I really like, but another disappointment of this type and I dont think I will have the means to pay so much to be disappointed.
The old stone general store in the historic neighborhood made into a charming café/bistro. The picture shows the inner courtyard, equally charming in the summertime. My companion and I each had a delicious hot chocolate. She had a very fresh date square; I, a warm pecan square such as Ive never had before. Historic artifacts throughout the building made the visit well worthwhile.
