About

Café La Maison Smith serves as a quintessential hub for artisanal coffee enthusiasts and connoisseurs of fine pastries within the historic city core. The menu highlights a sophisticated selection of house-roasted beans, prepared through precise extraction methods to ensure a balanced profile in every cup. Patrons select from a meticulously curated display of traditional French-style viennoiseries, including buttery croissants and pain au chocolat baked to achieve perfect lamination. The interior space features a rustic aesthetic characterized by stone walls and timber elements that define the environment. These distinct architectural details complement the focus on high-quality baked goods and specialty beverages. Every offering reflects a commitment to traditional preparation techniques that maintain the integrity of classic café culture through consistent flavor and texture profiles.

A must stop while in the old district! Great coffee, pastries & sandwiches! We felt like we were somewhere in Europe on while dining on the patio. Thanks so much!

The dessert is good, & the coffee is not bad (i ordered an espresso). The place itself is nice, especially because it's located in the heart of the city. I would recommend it for its location & nice atmosphere rather than for the coffee itself.

Good food & coffee. Perfect breakfast spot. My only comment would be, you should have someone cleaning the tables especially during peak times as people come & go & it's not very pleasant to be sitting on dirty table or looking for someone who can clean it for you.

I'm quite picky when it comes to coffee, so maybe it's just me, but the coffee wasn't great. I ordered a cortado, the barista called my drink a cortado, but girl, it was a latte. I drank it anyway, & it was mid. The only vegan option was a cookie (I didn't have it). There's not a lot of options in the city for vegan stuff at cafes. At least they had Loop juices. But if you're a coffee lover, I'd pick somewhere else.

Also my partner had a smoothie which she liked, & a croissant sandwich which she described also as mid :/

Edit: the reply from the cafe mentioned a vegan sandwich but the barista confirmed the bread has eggs in it, so it is not vegan.
