Wonderful little Cafe near our airbnb. Best vegan cappuccino I have ever had! ( I had two!). Plan to go back tomorrow to try their lovely looking baked goods AND another cappuccino! Owners friendly.and professional. Highly recommend this Cafe!
We ate a bit of the croissant before remembering to take a picture. They were very good. The latte was huge. The owner was very nice.
We stopped in town for a coffee and a treat. We were not disappointed! The coffee was delicious and the baked goods are yummy. The service was excellent. We would highly recommend checking this shop out.
We took sandwiches, it was good but nothing extraordinary and a little overpriced, 16$ for a croissant garni and a ham and cheese sandwich.
Third time is a charm. We found ourselves coming to Rivière du Loup in 2018,2019 and now 2020. Both times the bakery was closed (they are closed Sundays and Mondays). Now we’re back, this time on a Tuesday and hurray, it’s open \0/ Delicious ham and Swiss, croissants and bread varieties!
Such a cozy local bakery, freshly baked bread everyday, wonderful jam with breakfast. One of great breakfast stop on your way to PEI.
The good: the only good thing was that the bread was lovely. The bad: they had no milk left to make latte at 1pm on a Monday. They had no orange juice. The "poached egg" was microwaved. The "fresh fruit parfait" had no fresh fruit: this one we complained about and were told the fresh fruit was in the granola. We kept eating thinking it was maybe small chunks at the bottom. No, they meant the raisins. All in all, not great and not recommended.
We were here last year and on our first day when we discovered the bakery we had the most delicious almond croissant along with a fantastic coffee. On the second day after munching on our croissants the wonderful proprietor of the bakery sweetly announced that they made bouillabaisse soup for the first time. Now I truly was in heaven and it was as close to authentic as I have tasted in a long time. Well we are back and this year and I hope the soup and croissants are still available. Yoo hoo...
TASTY artisanal treats made with quality products, without excess sugar. Welcoming and intimate place. Treat yourself!
My favorite bakery!
Coconut and cheese sandwich was light and delicious with a fresh baguette!
The bread literally reminds me of my mothers...! Consistent and tasty with butter! Wow .
Very nice coffee! The service was very good and the almond chocolatine excellent.
Friendly staff, excellent product and warm atmosphere.
Hello scam... So the ham and butter sandwich that they offer for more than $9 is not even 1/4 of the bread from the day before with only margarine and ham. No salad in it or vegetables nothing. Whats more, the waitress doesnt even crack a smile.
its a delight in every bite. Their fresh breads and delicious pastries make them a must for foodies. An authentic bakery experience that is sure to delight.
Always served with a touch of love and kindness; a place as warm as the food and the chef, who is happy to come and share a bit of life with you!
Good bread, warm and friendly welcome.
Very good bakery
It was good and pleasant, the service is impeccable
We were there for breakfast. The croissants and in particular the chocolatines (in France <pain au chocolat>) are fantastic, much better than recently in France. For those who regret like us that we no longer find café au lait in a bowl (at a reasonable price) in France - we found some in Quebec and particularly here. Staff: 3 people, including the baker, very friendly, probably from 3 different roots. We enjoyed the products as well as the atmosphere!!!
Amazing sandwiches and coffee!
First of all, I must clarify that I am not from Rivière du Loup. I am from the southern suburbs of Montreal (Montérégie). Even though the interior is small, I came in for the first time and found the setting to be nice and welcoming with the canvas paintings hanging on the wall. The paintings that you have the opportunity to buy. In addition, what I especially loved about this bakery is that they make the sandwiches on site and in front of you with the breads from the bakery (small set-up already prepared in advance ). I went into the bakery for the first time and had the bagnat bread which was actually really good! The balance between the bread and all the other ingredients. Real madness! » I recommend it for those who like tuna & eggs. I am sure that even the people of Nice will appreciate the bagnat bread from this bakery! » Im definitely going back to this bakery because they have other sandwiches and I also really want to try their breads and pastries. And thanks again to the young girl who welcomed me and who made my delicious bagnat bread!
There is artisan bread at a correct price
Cute bakery with very nice/good products: pastries, homemade sandwiches etc. A mandatory stop if you go through Rivière-du-Loup :)
Warm place, as decoration, beautiful artistic paintings by local artists are on display! Woww excellent food, friendly employees and owner and the breads are SUCCULENT! The coffees are prepared with love!!! THANK YOU for the great experience!
The best bakery in your region! The coffee is splendid and the pastries are crispy. It reminds me of my France... Also the staff is very nice and the music is good. Its indie.
Flaky croissants. Good coffe, nice room.
Very good bread
Very nice bakery. Warm welcome. The chocolate rolls are very good. The best pain au chocolat in Quebec! Its like that of France! Its worth the detour!
Caesar makes good coffee. Good service. It smells good
Great place super good
The owner is really friendly and takes good care of his customers. I had a sourdough loaf, chocolatine and biscuit and everything was very good. Thank you very much for the excellent service.
Ordinary croissants as if I had bought them in a grocery store. Disappointing.
Bowl of delicious latte, fresh and tasty croissants & muffins!
Nice, interesting breads, very good coffee Little
Delicious
Ugh... Very ordinary sandwich, a bit like the service of the girl who hates her job.
Very cute cafe and nice workers.
If I could give ZERO stars I would. 1st visit: a sandwich for $9.50 consisting of 2 slices of bread, an egg and a small piece of cheese. In addition, the saleswoman coughed throughout the making of my meal 2nd visit a few hours later with my friend and her dog Mira just to buy some bread. The seller is starting to create problems because dogs are not welcome. We explain to him that he is a service dog. He then asks my friend what her disability is and refuses to serve us the bread we asked for. My friend left because he wouldnt give up. I try to make him understand that normally assistance dogs are essential. The seller exclaims: yes if he is with his master! My friend is a Mira trainer who educates a young dog for his future role... He is the dogs master... But the seller never agreed to understand him because my friend didnt look enough like a disabled person according to him. What a lack of education... people who have Mira dogs do not necessarily have a visible disability.... The behavior of the seller was scandalous I strongly advise against this establishment
Best bakery in Rivière-du-Loup, worth the detour! The breads are delicious and magnificent, the pastries remind me of my travels in Europe.
Coffee is delicious and the staff super friendly.
Wow! The pastries and food were wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the coffee was as well. Staff were extremely helpful to us despite our limited French.
Very good bakery that makes very good sandwiches.

Delicious croissant in the middle of the old town.
A number of croissant choices, and a few cakes/bars. Many breads available. Line moves quickly, there were still lots of options at 9:30a on a Saturday.
Good bread ,crossonts and coffee
Delicious breads and coffee. The only downside in these times of pandemic: customer traffic could be better managed.
Excellent place for crusty bread
This is a small bakery with absolutely delicious coffee and baked goods. There is seating inside and out and you can watch the world go by.
delicious bread, which keeps, perfect chocolatine. And excellent buttered ham. When we return to this part of the country, we will definitely come back.
Wonderful ! Everything was fresh and delicious. The friendly, warm and welcoming staff thank you for this good time!
no professionalism, order made at the beginning of December for January 6, nothing was noted and therefore order not made: incredible!
Good bread. Sunday and Monday closed!
An excellent bakery, I have nothing negative to say, the owner is friendly and you can tell that it is not built on a cat frame. An excellent bakery, I have nothing bad to say, the owner is friendly, he thinks he looks a little like the guy in the movie The Green Line.
Good bakery good clean bread
Wonderful variety of home baked breads!
Beautiful, delicious and friendly bakery
Wonderful bakery located in the center of Rivière-Du-Loup. The bread fell to the ground. A simple plate of homemade bread and fresh jam can amaze you.
Excellent bread! Charming bakery
Delicious sanchos bread!! And the fish soup is a pleasure to taste. The young woman serving has a contagious smile
Nice selection of sourdough. Friendly bilingual staff.
Great go there!
Good service and very good artisanal bread
Excellent bread, excellent pastries, and very nice atmosphere! THANKS !
Delicious, but way too expensive for what it is... a $10 ham and cheese sandwich. But the young girl who served me was charming.
Pleasant atmosphere, excellent cappuccino
Good bread they sell their breads which will pass date for $3
There was practically nothing on the shelves when I went there..
A bakery closed on Sunday!! Never seen before! Well, yes! This one...
Very good, but we paid too much for so little while the next day we went to the Bis la Boulange bakery and we got a lot for much less and the quality was there hands down. Sorry for the bread kid, but the bakery wins.
Pleasant atmosphere. I appreciated Emilies kindness.
6 Stars!! In my opinion, some of the finest baked goods Ive ever had. Their Olive Fougasse, Chocolate Shortbreads, Chocolatines and Croissants are juat exceptional. Perfect execution!!
Good and good price
The creme eggs were delicious and the latte was well frothed
Very good sandwich and croissant!
Clean. Pleasant people. Artsy
In the past it was our favorite spot on the drive from Halifax to Montreal but this visit was beyond bizzarre. Many items unavailable then the server said something to us that was so strange, inappropriate, and wholly unexpected that I cancelled our order and left. Was tempted to go back or write the business a letter. Felt like perhaps the business was sold or had given up or has had an unfortunate change of staff etc. May pop in again next year to see if this was just a temporary thing because in the past we found this place a feast for the senses.
Good but slow service for lunch. Excellent pastries. Small portions.
Excellent service, friendly. Great discovery!
Tasty croissant and good espresso. Bread wrapped in cello is not a good idea...
It was a great discovery at the Dégelis Gourmet Market. I tried several products and everything was a pure delight I really fell in love at first sight
We really liked it. Delicious baguette, good coffee, great croissant. When we passed in the morning, there were insufficient staff to provide service at normal speed. On the other hand, the staff present were very courteous and willing.
Super Bakery! a must!
Relaxing atmosphere and friendly service
Excellent sandwiches in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Service is relaxed.
Best Chocolatines!! Simply delicious!!

Delicious baguette!
