Frédérique Lauzon
Frédérique was a barista for eight years in Montreal before returning to Québec City with a one-kilo roaster and one idea: coffee you can drink black without wincing. The café carries her grandfather's first name — he took his very strong, in a chipped cup.
She roasts Tuesday mornings — you're welcome to come watch — and buys her green beans from two importers who name the farms. If you ask what's in the cup, be ready: she'll actually answer.
Four habits,
since day one.
Coffee you can drink black
Beans roasted here in small batches, so a filter coffee goes down without sugar and without a wince.
Farms with names
Our green beans come from two importers who name every farm. Just ask: we know where your cup comes from.
Nobody rushes you
Twelve seats, outlets at every table and the right to stay all afternoon over a single coffee.
Fewer paper cups
Bring your own cup: $0.50 off every drink. And your 10th coffee is on us.
