La Maison Smith est un café qui mérite assurément une visite. C'est la deuxième fois que j'y vais & la qualité du café est généralement très bonne. Les desserts sont tout simplement exceptionnels : le gâteau au chocolat est probablement l'un des meilleurs que vous trouverez dans le Vieux-Québec.

La principale raison pour laquelle je n'accorde pas cinq étoiles est le manque d'expérience de certains baristas. À quelques reprises, le café n'a pas été préparé à la hauteur du potentiel des excellents grains qu'ils utilisent. C'est dommage, car avec un peu plus de constance dans l'exécution, l'expérience serait presque parfaite.

Cela dit, l'endroit est magnifique, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & l'emplacement dans le Vieux-Québec est exceptionnel. Malgré ce petit bémol, c'est un café que je recommande sans hésiter, surtout pour les amateurs de bons desserts & de beaux endroits.

El café estaba bueno, solamente pedí un americano de destilado de la Casa Medium Roast. Y sí, me agradó el café. Me senté en la barra de la ventana y lo recomiendo es muy agradable, estar ahí tomando tu café.

A very nice chain of cafes in Quebec. We've stopped many times at several locations in & around Old Quebec. Always a positive experience. This particular location has some cute seats outside where you can enjoy when the weather is nice. You can sit there & enjoy some delicious treats & sandwiches, drinks, conversation, & even people watching. The drinks are always delicious. I feel the pricing & portion servings are decent. The staff is always helpful & professional, while also being friendly. Highly recommended.

Great cafe with very tasty sweet pastries & good savory options as well. The quiche is a quick & satisfying lunch option, & both the coffee & hot chocolate are excellent. I kept coming back during my trip for breakfast & snacks.
