4.5⭐ Very happy with my friend's recommendation! I really enjoyed the Mexican brunch. I got the quesadillas it was a generous portions for 17-18$. Everything looked delicious with a good amount of spices. The drinks were very good too I got the milkshake KAAPEH. It's like a vanilla milkshake and ice cream with a shot of espresso.

Very good cafe latte. Rich and creamy. The service staff were friendly and spoke both French and English. The sandwich we ordered was well prepared with fresh ingredients and tasty. Very nice atmosphere, with fair space for sitting and music that was not too loud or obstructive to our conversations. highly recommended.

We love this little café: welcoming and authentic, eco-conscious, offering lots of local products. The food is creative, delicious, and refreshing, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is really charming. And we were welcome to sit outside with our dogs!

The Best Coffeehouse in all of Sherbrooke no question about it. The Barista definitely knows what's going on . At the corner of Frontenac an Dufferin Street this charming little coffee shop offers you a roadside patio in which you can enjoy your Hot or cold beverage outside in the sun while reading the paper. Maybe you're just in the mood to people watch as you look over one of the busiest spots downtown. The owners / patrons are all upbeat , smiley , charming and a taste of Sherbrooke's Cultural Diversity. As you read the chalkboard menu on the wall above the counter. You'll find your eyes constantly wandering from wall to wall to ceiling trying to take in all the old architecture to hand drawn paintings and pictures. Definitely a down to earth cool vibe going on here. Everyone leaves here with a smile. The Mocha was my favorite.

Clearly a victim of its success: the Kaapeh is often full (and slightly noisy, but you can get used to it). My only big complaint is the lack of backs for the seats at the bar . Its not very comfortable after 25 minutes, and often theyre the only chairs left... It would be cool to see a change :)

Went to breakfast there this morning, with my mother, for my birthday, being very happy to be happy. I went to the old place which, for me, was much warmer. Today, it wasnt just the decor that lacked warmth... the employees didnt seem to want to be there. We didnt like the filter coffee at all, so I asked for a refund or a change for another beverage and to see the young womans face... ouffff. She changed it for me, not without mumbling and when she handed it to me and I said thank you, no words, no looks... Lord My mother put a lot of sugar (she doesnt usually) in her coffee to try to drink it. Good to know (even if I know everything is more expensive) 1 egg-avocado breakfast croissant, 1 grilled cheese and 2 filter coffees for $43 + tip!!!!!

It seems as though I just keep stumbling on to the best cafés, shops, and restaurants Québec has to offer! This café has become my number one café anywhere! I have never been to such a unique place before! They had coffee I have never encountered in my entire life and had a very special fusion of Mexican-Québécois cuisine. Furthermore they have a chill atmosphere and a cool lounge in the back with a piano which I had the pleasure of playing! Well known to locals not such much for outsiders. 5 stars all around! Also a great place to meet people!

Having settled in Sherbrooke for 8 months, I was looking for a coffee different from the big commercial brands with a slightly bohemian atmosphere and I finally found it! Magnificent terrace adjacent to the Town Hall, very courteous service, good choice of food and a super pleasant atmosphere! I highly recommend it, you have to get away from the overrated coffee shops and junk shops! KAAPEH is my favorite destination for coffee and also breakfast. I will return there to try the lunch menus.

One of the best (Italian) cappuccinos in the region Beautiful atmosphere! Great discovery in Sherbrooke!

December 23, 2023

Well, not really my kind of complainer, but honestly my worst experience to date in a café/bistro. I am a student and I was planning to come and study with my friends in this small, cozy cafe at first glance. It may not be a student café and Im sorry if we stayed long. In short, $8.92 for an iced latter that I could easily have made at home with a Nespresso capsule, milk and 4 ice creams (I repeat, 4 ice creams...) for max. $2.. My coffee was lukewarm... My friends spent a fortune on food. Very expensive. In addition, customer service is not very pleasant. Let me explain: After 2 hours at our table, the barista came to see us to tell us that the cafe was closing in 15 minutes (3 p.m.). We left within the time requested by the employee. At 3 p.m., the cafe was still packed, they were still serving customers, and the sign on the door said it closed at 6 p.m. We would like not to be lied to. It would have been enough to say: I see that you have been seated for a long time and that you have finished your drinks, we would like to give the other customers the chance to sit down to eat. » We would have totally understood. Being lied to gave us the impression of being kicked out and didnt make me want to come back next time... Be honest with your customers. On that note, the atmosphere is still pleasant and we enjoyed the 2 hours of study that we were able to do.

Whether working while drinking delicious coffee prepared by one of their baristas on a La Marzocco machine or eating a delicious Mexican-style meal, Kaapeh Bistro is a destination of choice. Located directly on the banks of the Magog River, you can enjoy your coffee while observing the river. It is without hesitation that I invite you to try the chilaquiles!
