About

Café La Maison Smith serves as a cornerstone for premium artisanal coffee culture by emphasizing the meticulous preparation of single-origin beans. The establishment maintains a signature selection of house-baked pastries that feature traditional French techniques and locally sourced ingredients. High ceilings and exposed stone walls define the physical environment, creating an industrial atmosphere that prioritizes functional efficiency and architectural character. Patrons select from a robust menu of espresso-based beverages including lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites crafted by trained baristas. Each buttery croissant and delicate macaron reflects a commitment to classic confectionery standards rather than modern fusion experiments. The facility supports a focus on rapid service and quality consistency, ensuring that every beverage reaches the correct extraction profile while maintaining the structural integrity of the delicate baked goods offered throughout the day.

Super cute little spot in the palace royale square. That's where the charm ends- the service was so so. The lattes were okay (much better our first day at Les Cafes du Soleil). Everyone around us got plates & actual mugs while we got paper bags & to go cups. That's fine but the chocolate croissant was a joke (see photo). The apple turnover was good but so cold- all the food was very cold. I would not recommend or go back.

Delicious breakfast & wonderful outdoor view at Place Royale. Got on a cruise ship immediately following. Once onboard, even though there is endless food, we opted to debark & walked backed to Cafe La Maison for a second chocolate almond croissant. Absolutely delish! Friendly staff. Looking forward to returning.

Me gustó la cafetería, está en plena plaza, así que es agradable sentarse a comer afuera. El croissant era grande pero lo encontré seco, y el café estaba bueno. Solo se genera un poco de desorden en la entrega del café.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés dans ce café pour prendre une collation sucrée. Tout était très bon, nous avons beaucoup aimé. Le service au comptoir était agréable & efficace! Nous avons cependant dû nettoyer une des tables de la terrasse pour pouvoir nous asseoir.

MOST AMAZING COFFEE I'VE EVER HAD!! This cafe was a few minutes walk from our hotel in Old Quebec & it is outstanding! We visited other locations around town as well but this was our go to location every morning for a week. Beautiful setting, excellent service, great food & the best coffee! We had several of both hot & iced lattes everyday! I also purchased a few extra large bags of the 1653 coffee beans & will definitely be ordering more! Can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend! 5 stars!!
