Best coffee I've ever had. & I've had a lot of coffee in my life. This is a must visit place if you come to Quebec City.

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.

The perfect way to start your day in Quebec City! Every morning our family would start our day by stopping by Cafe La Maison Smith for a coffee or latte & a pastry. We would sit in the beautiful courtyard & plan our day. Everything we tried was wonderful (coffees, lattes, croissants, macarons). Wonderful memories! Thank you!

A refreshing break & service. Our food & coffee order were great. The choco croissant was excellent! Since we were traveling & the apartment didn't have coffee, I decided to buy some here. They recommended & ground the beans, & even threw in a couple of filters for the drip maker. What a kindness for a traveler. We will stop back, for sure.
Great staff!

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

J'ai essayé le café latte glacé spécial à la framboise, très frais & gourmand ! Ils ont un beau choix de viennoiseries & gâteaux, de cafés.

Pour une première expérience, il faut s'habituer au sens de la file, bien enregistrer ce que l'on souhaite commander & comprendre l'endroit où va arriver votre commande. Pour des belges, nous sommes decustde la qualité des viennoiseries mais dans l'enst, c'est bon. & surtout, l'équipe des filles qui était derrière le comptoir était souriante & super efficace.

I visited this place twice. On my first trip, I went late in the afternoon, & it was surprisingly quiet. I was hoping to find something sweet, but most of the desserts were already gone, so I didn't get anything. The last four pictures & video are from my first visit.

I returned the next day for breakfast. As I expected, it was quite busy. So, be ready for that! There are limited indoor & outdoor seating options. I got the cinnamon roll & an almond croissant, & both were delicious.
