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.

Review Summary

Café La Maison Smith is widely celebrated as a charming, picturesque destination in Old Quebec, perfectly situated near the Notre Dame Basilica. Guests frequently praise the cozy, Parisian-style atmosphere and the excellent selection of pastries, including croissants, tarts, and macarons, alongside high-quality coffee and hot chocolate.

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.

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!!

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.

On est rentré en plein rush hour. La ligne était quand même longue mais le staff a su s'en occuper en un rien de temps. Nous avons pris deux chocolats chauds, deux lattés (un à l'érable & l'autre à la pistache) & un Thé London Fog. Avec comme pâtisseries une part gâteau au chocolat & une part de pecan pie. Pour la qualité de ce qu'on a pris, c'était d'un prix raisonnable puisque tout était délicieux. On a été servis rapidement, ce qui reste impressionnant avec la quantité de personne qui avait. La décoration est aussi superbe & matche très bien l'ambiance du café. Sinon, pour les personnes ayant des restrictions alimentaires, il y avait des options végétariennes & sans gluten, ce qui reste agréable. PS: Le seul bémol serait le manque d'espace (de place assises) à l'intérieur, car une fois plein, il n'y a plus trop d'espace où bouger...

The'Matcha Latte' & the'Macarons' were amazing | The'Carrot Cake' was nice but very sweet & had raisins in it. I forgot to ask before ordering it.
