Café La Maison Smith

Finding a well-proportioned matcha latte has been difficult in Quebec City, & this shop has come the closest, although a stronger matcha presence would tip the scales. I opted for unsweetened, as is my preference, & with oat milk. The brand of oat milk used is not one of the better barista brands available, but it was still tasty & helped scratch my matcha itch. What needs improvement is the service. In a city where customer service has been impressively friendly, this place was unwelcoming. The woman working the register was icy at best, rude to every single person in line, native speaker or not. Maybe she was having a bad day, but she shouldn't be customer-facing.

Although there can be long lines, it does go by fast. The pastries are amazing but pricey. The coffee is delish. Some indoor seating & outdoor patio when it's not raining. I think this is a chain cafe as I saw more than one.

Awesome coffee. Only place in town that can do espresso "long" pull without it being acidic. Pastry was always delicious. We only came here for our morning coffee routine & came here everyday we were staying in Vieux Quebec. Don't expect too much service because they are only staffed for ordering & making your order. But they do not discriminate. Come in, place your order on the counter & seat & clean after yourself. Simple. We checked out another coffee shop by the university that had great ratings for their coffee, but as soon as we walked in & greeted, we were immediately judged for not speaking French.

Looking for a café in the middle of the day & discovered this café on the way & give it a try. It is really good. The iced latte is strong & i can taste the coffee more stronger than the milk. They also have a variety selections of sandwiches, patisseries, cakes, & macaron. The cafe also connected to a bar just beside & it's convenient for people to choose.

Visited La Maison Smith in Quebec City for a breakfast pickup & had a delightful experience! The store's interior is stunning & beautifully designed. I had a fresh & delicious almond chocolatine & a great iced latte. The friendly staff made such a positive impression that I came back the next day. Highly recommended, & I will definitely visit again on my next trip to QC!

During my recent visit to Café La Maison Smith in Quebec City, I was absolutely delighted by the culinary experience. This vibrant & trendy café, with its enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee, offers a cozy & welcoming atmosphere that instantly draws you in. What made the visit even more special was the dog-friendly patio, where my dog Lucky could join us. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the hot chocolate. I've had my fair share of hot chocolates, but this one stands out as the best ever. It's perfectly sweet & creamy, without that watered-down taste that you often get elsewhere. Each sip was a comforting embrace of rich, velvety chocolate. We also sampled a variety of pastries, starting with the chocolate croissant. It was just right-not overly sweet & filled with a generous amount of chocolate that made each bite heavenly. The croissant itself was flaky & buttery, adding to the overall satisfaction. The star of the show, however, was the choco framboise pastry. This delightful treat offered a subtle strawberry flavor that was perfectly balanced with the rich chocolate. The pastry was wonderfully flaky & soft, making it a textural delight with every bite. It was an exquisite combination of flavors that left a lasting impression. In addition to the outstanding food & drinks, the staff were friendly & attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Quebec City, Café La Maison Smith is a must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates quality pastries, exceptional hot chocolate, & a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to return for another round of these delightful treats!

I was hunting for a piece of chocolate cake in Quebec City when I came upon this cafe. A 5 year old picture of a slice of Avalanche Chocolate Cake enticed me to walk inside & get my own slice. Alas, that old picture of a slice of cake no longer exists. Now, they have little round cakes & they don't call them Avalanche Chocolate Cakes, but they are equally as delicious. The mousse is rich & the glazing is decadent. The price is high, which is one thing that remained the same from 5 years ago--but the quality is undeniable.
