The Caron brothers—Simon-Pierre and Xavier-Bernard—bring their signature coffee expertise to Knowlton with the opening of their second café, expanding on their Little Italy success. Set in the former Bolt Café space, this modern yet unpretentious spot offers a refined take on the café experience.
The menu revolves around six rotating coffee blends (Zab, Traffic, Structure, Hatch, Dak, and Yamabiko), with options ranging from silky lattés to sharp espressos. Pastries from Les Touriers and Brioche À Tête elevate the snack game, while hearty sandwiches and soups make this more than just a coffee stop.
What sets it apart is the back-of-store treasure trove—an impressive collection of privately imported wines, microbrewery beers, and Quebec ciders. Whether you’re sipping on-site or taking bottles home, the café’s liquor license keeps things flexible.
