Buses stopped here one after the other and tourists took over the cafe area while I was there. LOL, I guess I am no different. Even still the ice cream, especially the Dark Chocolate Hard Shell was surprisingly rich and decadent. The old school cone wasn't stale which is what I expected. Definitely means there's much product turnover. I didn't try anything else at the cafe but did purchase chocolates from the accompanying store. The chocolate molds all looked amazing, there was clearly a ton of detail. The service was friendly and I'd come back if I am in the vicinity.

I would definitely stop in here just to sip a little of their hot chocolate. The shop is small and had a small counter area to sit at with about 3 chairs. It's not made for dining in your treats, but definitely for sipping hot chocolate! The girls in the shop were friendly.

We were welcomed in and she was so helpful and attentive. She had the patience of a saint, as my family waffled back and forth with what they wanted. Asking a million questions - she answered them all with a smile, while waiting for them to make decisions. She had more patience than I did. LOL To be fair there are a lot to choose from and it's hard to know what all of the ingredients are. Luckily for me, they had so much to look at - beautifully crafted chocolates and wonderfully decorated for the Christmas season. The space was warm and inviting. They had fun dance music playing, so I just danced while waiting for my turn LOL I highly recommend this place for a treat for yourself or for gifts for others. I definitely would love to return.

Picture this: soft snow falling on the cobblestone streets of Petit-Champlain, fairy lights glowing, and the warm light spilling out of this beautiful little café. I ducked in both mornings of my short trip and could have happily stayed all day. The interior is perfect Québécois charm: exposed stone walls, wooden beams, cozy lighting, and that unbeatable smell of fresh baking. First morning I ordered the pistachio latte and the quiche Florentine. I would legitimately sell my firstborn for that pistachio latte: silky, perfectly balanced, with a rich, natural pistachio flavor that no syrup could ever match. One sip and I was ruined for life. The quiche was flawless: buttery, flaky crust, creamy spinach-and-cheese filling, baked to golden perfection. Absolute breakfast heaven. I braved a full-on snowglobe blizzard the next morning just to come back. This time I paired the same life-changing pistachio latte with the almond croissant. I'd hand over my other kid for daily access to these croissants (kidding... mostly). Impossibly crisp and flaky outside, cloud-soft inside, generously stuffed with fragrant almond paste, topped with toasted almonds and powdered sugar. I ate it slowly by the window while the snow piled up on Rue Notre-Dame and honestly felt like the luckiest person alive. The baristas were friendly, the vibe warm and unhurried, and everything was flawless. If you're in Quebec City, make La Maison Smith non-negotiable (and budget time to visit at least twice). Five stars isn't enough. This place is winter-morning perfection.

Location: 4/5 This location is located in the heart of Old Lévi, which is just a ferry away from Quebec City. We spent half a day here enjoying the city view across the river and having fun at the splash pad. It was a hot and sunny day, so we decided to cool ourselves off with a good old ice cream! Decor/Ambience: 4.5/5 Pretty spacious with amble amount of seating both outside and inside. It was super cute and yet not over the top! Such a family-friendly place and you can bring groups of friends with you, too! The lighting by the window was just perfect for a selfie! Food quality: 4.5/5 I love their Fall special five cream flavour, pumpkin, which I had along with 12 possible white or dark chocolate glazes. My beau chose a s'mores glaze and I chose a crunchy almond dark chocolate one. You can even add sprinkles and other toppings too, but we opted for a simpler taste. They even have poutine and fondues all dipped with chocolate if you like! Would definitely bring my future children here! I am sure they will love it. Service: 4.5/5 Service was really good. They explained their options of ice cream flavours as well as their glazes to us in both English and French. I appreciate the bilingualism! That way I can practice my French, while my beau still understands and can enjoy himself fully. Value: 5/5 Chocolats Favoris is a big chain here in Quebec! They even have an app where you can earn towards redeeming for free sweets!! Great treat for the whole family, kids, teens, adults and even seniors! With sizes ranging from baby, mini, regular to monster, you can choose how little or much you want to eat! Seriously, if only Toronto or Scarborough had this chain then I would be coming here every so often. Oh well, I will definitely come to here every chance I get when visiting Quebec City again. They have locations all across the city and province anyway. When I have children of my own, I will definitely bring them to one of their touristy locations, so that they too can enjoy the creaminess of the soft serve ice cream and the hardened white or dark chocolate glaze.
