Outstanding coffee! Best in the area, worth walking to every day you’re in the area. Plan enough time to have it at a table. Tastes great in their large ceramic cups. We had double cappuccinos. Highly recommend.
Reviews / Ratings for Café La Maison Smith
Great coffee, chill ambiance, my favorite spot to work on my laptop
My friend and I had just finished dinner when we decided to take a walk along the streets of Quebec. I loved the spirit of the city — even in the freezing cold, thousands of people filled the streets, walking together as if celebrating a sacred day, like the return of Christ himself. There was a sense of unity in the air, as though everyone shared one heartbeat, blessed in the quiet grace of God. As we strolled, my friends noticed a group of Chinese girls taking photos inside a cozy coffee shop. Being Chinese themselves, they laughed and nudged me to go check it out. The place was packed — utterly alive. Though it called itself a coffee shop, it served wine and cocktails too, and the crowd buzzed with energy. Conversations, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the space. Despite the noise, I felt a deep joy to be among them, caught in that moment of shared exuberance. The French people had something special about them — a natural charm, tall frames, and radiant ease. None carried the heaviness I often sense in Ontario. They seemed both grounded and spirited, effortlessly alive. At one point, an older man stood beside me in the checkout line, grumbling softly but somehow adding to the scene’s character. Soon after, we found seats, and the drinks arrived quickly. My friends insisted they tasted far better than the ones we usually get back home — and I had to agree.
Great spot to hang if you want a warm stop to go and have late drink including mixed drinks and cocktails and a great alternative if you're not interested in going to a loud bar. Quite a few options that are plant based and gluten free. Would definitely recommend.
Very popular coffee shop with a great selection of sweet treats and gluten free options!
