The staff were very friendly and patient with me while I tried to order in French. The vanilla latte and matcha latte were perfect (about 7cad for large(grand). Not too sweet and the matcha was not too bitter. We also ordered a raspberry cheesecake which was a perfect balance of creamy, sweet and a bit tart. Very satisfied with our afternoon pick me up.
Reviews / Ratings for Café La Maison Smith
A very nice chain of cafes in Quebec. We’ve stopped many times at several locations in and around Old Quebec. Always a positive experience. This particular location has some cute seats outside where you can enjoy when the weather is nice. You can sit there and enjoy some delicious treats and sandwiches, drinks, conversation, and even people watching. The drinks are always delicious. I feel the pricing and portion servings are decent. The staff is always helpful and professional, while also being friendly. Highly recommended.
So comfortable in many ways: service, music, installations... good quality and all the products. After a good walk in the streets and the cool weather of Quebec, it's so comfortable to go in and drink a hot drink.
Great experience! Étienne was super helpful, even grabbing the ingredient binder to answer my questions about the banana bread. The blond barista was lovely, and the coffee and vibes were spot on. Wish we had one in South Shore Montreal!
Had a lovely experience! The almond chocolate croissant was absolutely delicious perfectly flaky, rich, and full of flavor. Definitely a must-try if you’re stopping by. Would happily come back again!
Great cafe with very tasty sweet pastries and good savory options as well. The quiche is a quick and satisfying lunch option, and both the coffee and hot chocolate are excellent. I kept coming back during my trip for breakfast and snacks.
Great croissant almandine
Poor customer service , employees are rude and overpriced for what it is
Amazing place ! Must visit this cafe if you’re in old Quebec! We tried hot chocolate and cheesecake both were better than the best I’ve ever had! Quite helpful staff for English speaking people!
The baristas are fantastic — efficient but warm and welcoming, and the lattes are delicious. Skip the baked goods and go with a croissant or pastry — they’re amazing.
Great place to eat and get coffee
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.
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!
