We stopped by Café La Maison Smith for breakfast during our visit to Québec City, & it was a great way to start the day. The café has a cozy atmosphere with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. Even though it was busy, the service was friendly & efficient.

We ordered a few different breakfast items, including a quiche, pastries, & coffee, & everything was fresh & delicious. The quiche was light, flavorful, & perfectly baked, while the pastries were buttery, flaky, & tasted like they had just come out of the oven. The coffee was excellent as well & paired perfectly with the food.

What stood out most was the quality of the ingredients & the attention to detail in everything we tried. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee & pastry or a relaxing breakfast before exploring the city, this café is definitely worth a visit.

I would happily come back the next time I'm in Québec City & would recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast & excellent coffee.

The cashier was not very helpful when I was trying to place my order. There was no English ingredient or product information displayed under the pastries, so I asked a few questions to better understand what they were. However, her facial expression made me feel uncomfortable asking for more information. On the other hand, the barista was very friendly & greeted everyone as soon as they entered the store.

They have a wide variety of pastries. The croissant is very tasty. They make latte as it supposed to be. It's one of the best cafes I have been to.

On 7/14/26 the chocolate almond was not fresh.
Life is too short for day old pastries.

We thoroughly enjoyed 2 breakfasts here.  My husband enjoyed the chocolate almond pastry along with some delicious hot chocolate.  I had great breakfasts with an apple crumb pastry, a pecan maple muffin & a small cranberry orange loaf with walnuts.  (if you ask they will warm up the pastries for you) Everything was delicious & the staff is so friendly.  Thanks so much!
