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.

Coffee was excellent, well made latte
Lemonade was just good enough.
Croissant was fresh but was just fine

Latté incroyable, bonne nourriture, mais le service est ce qui m'a marqué. J'ai commandé un wrap & ils ont oublié de le faire. Malgré un peu d'agacement, ils ont fini par le réaliser & tout allait bien. Sans que je n'ai rien eu à dire, ils ont pris l'initiative de m'apportez un petit macaron pour s'excuser. Un petit geste qui démontre une grande intégrité.

The cafe was overcrowded. The washrooms were so dirty. The vanilla & pistachio latte we got was average at best. I expected more from this place

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.

The walking tour guide recommended this spot, & he said we must have the maple latte. We stopped in & they were very busy & quick. We had the blt sandwich with maple latte. They had quiet a selection of sandwiches, pastries, macaroons & more. Everything was delicious.

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!!
