One of the best cafes in Quebec City to study and work ... The St. Roch location is the better option in terms of atmosphere offering plenty of seating and space to hang a while.
Abroad with AshSeptember 2023 I've already worked there during brunch in the summer, in the terrace section... but late afternoons are just as suitable, sitting at the bar with a fairly calm atmosphere before it gets busier for the evening.
J'y ai déjà travaillé à l'heure du brunch en été, dans la section terrasse... mais les fins d'après-midi sont tout aussi adaptées, assise au bar avec une ambiance plutôt calme avant que ça se remplisse davantage pour la soirée.
