Super friendly staff, great attention to detail and tasty food. Highly recommend!
Café Shad is a really cute cafe and has several non-dairy and vegan options. We ordered the soy milk with cafe au lait and espresso. For those looking for “zero-alcohol” options they also have beers sans alcohol. The cafe is really aesthetic inside and they also sell art pieces that are hanging on the walls. It’s cute and cozy and perfect for the fall weather when it’s color season and the leaves on the trees are changing to yellows and reds. The downtown area that the cafe is in, is also very cute to walk down. I would totally recommend anyone visiting the area to come to Shad Cafe.
Nice late night cafe in Victoriaville. Dined here once before for a grilled cheese sandwich and salad, and decided to try it again with others. This time it was for dessert and hot beverages. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The desserts always look amazing, and had to have some this time. The Bagdad triple chocolate mousse cake, the chocolate coated Noix Japonais (filled creampuff), and the pouding chomeur (poor man's pudding) with maple syrup were our choices, with a couple maple lattes and a Cacao Shad hot chocolate. There were no complaints.
A institution in victoriaville. They serve the best grill cheeses! If you like small intimate independent coffee shop, you'll love the shad. It's not a great place for a large group since it's really small, but for 2 to 4 persons, it's great.
great place to have a drink or to make a good dinner. The style of the room and the rooms are fantastic, tables and sofas in which to sit, excellent food and beers, the service is great, quick, fast and the waiters are very friendly and professional, prices are normal. Every time I go back to Victoriaville I go to dinner at this place, I can not wait to go back again !!!!!!!!!!!! +++++++++++++ nice place++++++
The food and bevs here are really good! What's even better is the staff! When we went there was a heat wave in the summer. My little guy was not feeling well and yacked all over the place while we were ordering. The staff really downplayed it so my son wouldn't get embarrassed. They quickly cleaned up and moved on like nothing had happened. I can't express enough how much i appreciated their kindness and concern. Real respectable coffee shop pros at this place. Highly recommended!! Please tip generously!
Always a pleasure to visit Shad! The atmosphere is warm, the coffee and dishes are excellent, and the service is impeccable. An essential address to have a good time.
Very nice little café-dinner. Its welcoming and comforting. The food is excellent. We had a cream of broccoli with a hot baguette and 2 grilled cheeses: Louis dor and apple-bacon. I recommend this place.
Very nice discovery! Perfect for spending a nice time in a warm place. Very good service! Very nice plates and we all ate well!
The BEST restaurant in Victo! The food is good, the staff is super nice and whats more, its not expensive! What more do you want?
We constantly had to get up to go over all the steps of a service. (Get the menu, glasses of water, go order, dessert...) The two waiters forgot... We cleaned our table ourselves.
Everything is perfect, especially the tostitos... never eaten the best.
Nice place, good nachos!!
Nice place to have a snack with friends, Nice atmosphere although a little noisy.
Nice little café-restaurant with good atmosphere
The perfect place to go for a coffee. Great service and the employees are dedicated. The meals are also very good and varied, whether for work or meeting friends, it s my favorite place in town. Vegetarian options: Some veggie meals Parking: This is city parking so you have to pay
Very good place on the terrace great service
Fast food, relaxed atmosphere, a welcoming and smiling team! Come take a look!

Best cafe to have a relaxed beer in Victoriaville.
Superb place to have a coffee or a treat! I havent tried the dishes but Im sure it must be very good.
Very nice, friendly and authentic welcome. Excellent latte and pleasant atmosphere. I have saved in my GPS to go back!
Great place, drinks and desserts. My only downside is the dishes which do not fit my tastes, which lack a little flavor. But I know lots of people who find happiness in their mouths, nothing can please everyone!
Small place, very fast service and very good price.
Very good, very good and well served Smiling and professional staff Very good place to have a good time alone or with family/friends.
Best cappuccino in the north of Cuba hehe
Great discovery and guaranteed return! Thanks to Hélène, what a beautiful smile and service. A café with a terrace just the way we like them. Value for money ok. Paid parking at the back really cheap! I saw myself with my work to do, laptop or a good book and in my bubble. ;) Coffee? Yes, it is very good! Vegetarian options: A section in the menu yes.
The meals seem very good, we went for a beer, there is a good menu, a good God did our thing. The atmosphere is pleasant, several regulars come regularly since the servers seem to know them well. The atmosphere is warm, the staff very pleasant and the espresso is well made and excellent.... I recommend this place
Really excellent, a place to discover
Little discovery visit to Chad Café and guaranteed wonder! A warm welcome and perfect service... our waitress was smiling and really attentive... the setting is charming and the food excellent... my favorite: the surprise salad made up of baby spinach, cucumber, strawberry and cheese St Louis and a delicious balsamic vinaigrette... all in a summer atmosphere....
Excellent !
Cr**sly good but the waitress whined about someones tip Edit: Thanks
Very good, but our waitress was not satisfied with her tip so she created a very awkward situation by asking for more. We left this restaurant stunned.
Delicious food and coffee and wonderful service!

Wonderful service with a fabulous smile. THANKS
Always a pleasure to go there for a coffee, a delicious breakfast or for a drink. I have lived in the region for 2 years and it is, by far, the best coffee. The team is frankly friendly and very efficient. Did you like their vinaigrette? It is possible to buy it by the bottle :)
Succulent and very good service!
Excellent welcome, good coffee! The menu seems very varied, you will have to return to eat there later!

excellent team and fast service
A wonderful place to try. Beautiful atmosphere inside and out. Coffees, beers...
Smiling staff, everything was excellent. I recommend it to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
Very disappointing, I waited 2 hours and only had 2 glasses of water in 2 hours
We arrived at 5 a.m. and left at 6:50 a.m. with empty hands and empty stomachs, we had ordered two dishes to share with 4 and we only had 2 glasses of water and our drinks. We asked if it was ready soon and were told yes it was ready soon but when we really had to leave and asked one last time the waitress replied that we were too far in line yet... no discount on our drinks, and we had to ask for the 15% discount on a hot drink because apparently it was not applicable to alcoholic drinks even though this was not indicated at all. Shad we wont come back for you!!
Fast and courteous service I will definitely return
Beautiful place, peaceful. Psit! Its very good.
I really like this place to go for a coffee or a drink with friends. The food is also excellent!
Excellent atmosphere, quiet and perfect for relaxing with or without company. Tasty meals and excellent drinks, I love their hot chocolates! Its my most! If you are looking for a place to relax and study with a good coffee/hot chocolate or something else, there is something for everyone.
Good simplistic food as we like and very good service. Professional and friendly
Very good as a restaurant
One of the only places I know that offers local gin tastings. Beautiful presentation of the range of gins and very affordable. Around a good chicken nachos (extra guacamole please hihi) what more could you ask for!!!

Yummy desserts in Victo!
Beautiful, friendly café with a lovely atmosphere, perfect for outings as a couple or with friends. They are child friendly with a high chair and toys they lend. The food is excellent for any meal or to snack with a good coffee. Good choice of microbrewery beers, cocktails and privately imported wines. In summer, the terrace is the perfect place for a refreshing drink.
Good service, good food
Always delicious, a restrained menu but full of flavor, cozy atmosphere, first-rate service, a pleasure every time.
Good ambience and foid
Warm atmosphere. We were a pretty big group, about a quarter of whom ate, and the others, something to drink. The waitress, who was alone, simply didnt provide (poor her). She never came to see me so I didnt I didnt order anything.
Perfect atmosphere for a good time
Sooo good food, the desserts are soo excellent! I LOVE IT
