Was looking for coffee and was surprised at how it looked inside! It’s super cozy with what I can describe as a spiced tea aroma in the place. It would’ve been perfect to bring in a book to read with a good cup of coffee. They had variety of pastries/bakery treats. I just tried this raw cocoa nut ball and it was delicious. A little pricey but great. I appreciated the decorative details (see photo for an example) and the items they sold to help the community. I’d come back and try something beyond the drip coffee, which was also quite good.
Decent cup of coffee in a tiny coffee shop. The attached book store is a nice touch. Nothing spectacular, but all the basics are here including nice staff, good baked items and flavourful drinks.
Best coffee in town. Their latte is far and away the best I’ve had!
For the Love of Coffee. One of the best, and freshest coffees I have had in a long time! A very cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff! Enjoyed an Americano, and after wandered into the neighbouring stores. Will definitely return for more!
Forget the below average drinks at the various coffee shop chains in Ottawa, for those who know what real coffee is, this place delivers. Not much nearby but it’s a small, cosy little place that makes a great cuppa. No flat whites on the menu but their lattes are pretty good & not as airy as Bridgehead. Small selection of muffins & cookies available which is perfect for an afternoon pick me up.
The Gem of Old Ottawa East. Love the atmosphere, love the workers, love this place. Despite the small place given, Cafe Qui Pense makes it their own with a nice, sleek and organized setting. Though don’t expect much selection in here, the tea selection was a bit sad (seven kinds of tea and a lot of them were the regular black and green teas), the coffee selection is sort of the same thing, though they had rare types of coffee – the one I chose was an Ethiopian macchiato (estimated $4, no size offered, but it was rather small). The food selection was almost none existent when I was there, I didn’t even notice the small pantry that was right in front of me at first glance.There was a couple of customers at the cafe (four tables plus two high chairs next to a table that’s near the window) so I was able to sit down and wait for my coffee. The barista did such an excellent job on the drink; not only on how the actually coffee was, but how fresh it was. Watching him make my coffee from scratch looked so difficult, the presentation was perfection, and afterwards he threw a pot of coffee since is had been sitting for a hour and began to make a new one. I’ve never seen such hard work being put into making a drink! And if customers don’t want to see the work being put into their drinks, they can kill time by heading to the next door bookstore through a cute walkway that connects the two. Overall, this place is worth the trip and the rather expensive drinks that’s not suited for regulars (Especially for the St.Paul University students that have this place across from their campus), they have their own unique style and proof of their hard work. I look forward to my next visit.
Visited today. A small, cozy spot across from Saint-Paul’s. Espresso was fantastic – they offer a choice between two different roasts. They have a limited selection of baked goods, and I chose a croissant not expecting much. The croissant was actually nice and very buttery. I will definitely be returning.
