Quebec offers several options for those hoping to enjoy a good dessert. The establishments listed below offer a variety of sweets, from the most classic dessert to the most original, with options for both winter and summertime. There's something for everyone!
At Mlle Cupcakes, in addition to – surprise! – cupcakes (both mini and giant), you can sample French macaroons, homemade breads and gelato-style ice cream. The products are of exceptional quality and are nut and peanut free.
Tutto Gelato offers the best gelato in Quebec City. Their 60 flavours offer the perfect taste and texture! The downtown shop alternates between ice cream flavours while also offering more than 25 different flavours of sorbets, also available alternately. For a refreshing dessert, this is the place to go.
For a classic doughnut, Krispy Kreme is the place to go. Fresh products are made daily in store. The original glazed doughnut has been the store’s greatest success, though they now offer more than 20 different flavours.
Chocolats favoris boasts an excellent reputation. They offer 11 locations throughout Quebec, including four in Quebec City (Neufchâtel, Charlesbourg, Cap-Rouge and Avenue Quartier). The soft cream coated in chocolate is the perfect dessert for a hot day, and even when it’s cool outside. More than 12 chocolate coatings are available, as well as five flavours of soft ice cream.

For sweet late night cravings, Cosmos is a good choice, and offers three locations in Quebec City (Sainte-Foy, Lebourgneuf and Grande-Allée). They offer a variety of sweets, with more than 10 different cakes in addition to pies and mousses. Their desserts are very good – just sweet enough!
This café/shop is the ideal place to visit for a coffee or tea as well as a delicious dessert. The atmosphere is calm and the vintage-style decor is superb. The raspberry tart is exquisite and, like everything here, is served with very cute cutlery.
