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.

The best hot chocolate! Seriously. I've gone back twice for it & I don't live in QC. Sadly I've never really eaten here but maybe next time. It really is the cutest little spot.

This café has multiple outlets but the one at Place Royale offers an amazing view if you're lucky enough to grab a window seat. Despite being a very busy café, the service was excellent. The food was decent overall - I wasn't particularly impressed with the boule framboises & chocolate, chocolate & almond croissant, or the hot chocolate. However, thoroughly enjoyed the date square, pecan pie, carrot cake, & macarons. During the holidays, it can be challenging to find a seat, but if you manage to snag one by the window, it's well worth it. Can go back only for the view.

Café La Maison Smith was absolutely charming-I enjoyed it so much that I visited twice during my trip. The maple & pistachio lattes were delightful, & our group tried a variety of drinks, including coffee, hot chocolate, & tea, with plenty of dairy-free options available. While the treats were hit or miss in a city with so many good bakeries, the beverages & the cozy, picturesque location were the true highlights.

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.

This cafe is located in le petit champlain. Excellent coffee & pastries (ordered chocolate cake & an almond croissant). All made to perfection. The outdoor seating is gorgeous. Beautiful scenery, it's as though you are situated in a beautiful European town.

Delicious coffee at the plaza in Old Quebec. Location was perfect while sipping some latte & enjoying some pastries. My kids enjoyed their cinnabon bun & chocolate cake.

Stopped this morning for coffee & a few croissants (butter, almond, & chocolate). The coffee & the croissants were excellent. I plan to stop by every day while in Quebec City.
