So this year I took my mom and sister when we travelled again to QC! It was just as I remembered, their coffee is super tasty, I got a flat white and my sister got a latté. I love the decor inside with all the coffee bags and the wooden interior. Service is always friendly too and they make the coffee quick. Highly recommend this spot! Also who doesn't love saying CANTOOK over and over - just rolls off the tongue!

The bagels are differs from NYC bagels, but none the less delicious. Everything was fresh and tasty. The service was excellent. I'm so grateful that most people in Quebec are bi-lingual because my French is minimal. The staff was kind and attentive and I would definitely recommend this place.

The gaspacho was quite good. The husband had the salmon crostini with avocado and a pink spread. It was pretty good. It came with insalata mista, which was a salad dressed with just oil. The salmon vodka was really good and unlike other versions with big hunks of salmon, the salmon was thinly sliced so salmon was in every bite.

The food is fresh, bright, and home made but it is over priced for the quantity you receive. We were hoping for coffee and desserts, I see they had affagotto on the menu and they are always a fun treat when you can find someone willing to offer it, but after 15 mins of staring at our dirty dishes, and not a waitress in sight. I decided to go up to the cash and just leave. 2 people, $60, and we left hungry

The drinks were thoughtfully crafted, and you can tell the barista takes real pride in their work. Friendly service, great energy, and a calm atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommended if you're nearby -- it's the kind of café that quietly becomes a go‑to.

We also shared a raspberry chocolate pastry which was okay. Maybe better if it was toasted but it wasn't offered as an option. My mocha cappuccino was deep in flavor and cocoa powder, not syrup, was used. Even with the almond milk it was still rich and the milk to coffee ratio was just right. The americano was a good cup. Interior is clean, modern and cozy. Seating is generous and spacious. Their counter is nice and centered. Our barista was efficient and friendly. Would recommend this in the downtown area, about 1.25 miles away from old Quebec.

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.
