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.

We came in & their credit card system was down. We waited for 15 minutes before they allowed us to pay cash. We only had USD. We handed her $40 USD, ($56 CAD) the total was $28 CAD. We received $12 CAD as change. This means we over paid them by $16 CAD. They did not want to give us back the correct change accounting for the exchange rate, which is a bit silly considering we originally tried to pay with a card before their system went down. We had to argue to get the correct change & we still overpaid by a couple of dollars. The macarons are delicious, & my London fog is one of the best I've had. BUT the unwillingness to accommodate us when their system was down was not the best customer service.

if you are at Royale Place, you must have coffee here. sitting outside, having coffee or a croissant, viewing the oldest church in North America, & feeling like you went back by at least 100 years... what a feeling. This location is a must for having a coffee during a romantic walk in Petit Champlain. You can sit on the terrace in the heart of Place-Royale, where Quebec City was founded. We ordered a pistachio Donut, Crepe, & coffee. Man, this donut- nothing I ever had... too good. I ordered more to have it for dessert after dinner. This casual & attractive café right on the corner of scenic Place Royale is a great place to stop for an afternoon pick-me-up, be it coffee or various indulgent sweets. For a light lunch, there are yummy sandwiches, quiches, & soups. There are other branches elsewhere in the city that are just as good, just not as scenic as this.

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.

In November 2024, a family of four ordered drinks & snacks, paying 62 CAD with a $5 tip. The atmosphere was good, & the desserts were delicious. It was a bit crowded.

Not very good coffee at all. The baristas don't know how to pull a proper shot of espresso.

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.
