A cute cafe with lot of colors and great options to choose from. As an Indian myself, it reminded me of my homeland with the vibrant colors and multitude of aspects. The lady working there was really nice. Also noticed that there were a variety of goods by different Québec artisans for sale. Worth browsing. Overall a great experience. Would love to visit again and highly recommended.

Cute quaint place and boutique with good coffee. Would have liked a few more choices of food but the almond croissant is really good. Recommend a short stop while around

We were traveling around the province, detoured and found out about it on the Google map. I really enjoyed the whole experience and service. I ordered a latte and it was delicious. They sell artisanal jewelry and skincare. I would love to come back

As a retired coffee-snob, finding a nice café with knowledgeable staff is somewhat rare. Parlabas Café rotates their coffee selection regularly and the baristas pull a wicked espresso. The giftshop part is filled with local products from teas to chocolates and soaps. Wonderful place to taste good coffee and relax in good company.

What a nice surprise to find a nice place nearby lac Delage where to have a nice cappuccino and a croissant. Very cozy place and a nice option to places nearby where you cannot seat or are closed whenever you need them. Also nice healthy products for sale.

Beautiful little store. Many choices for self service with your own containers and jars. What really struck me was Many products like for example honey, coffee, shampoo or even oils were in the big containers so you can filled your own empty jars or bags. Very interesting idea and very thoughtful about our environment.
