Like me, your morning coffee is the best part of your day. You’ll want to savor your coffee in the most charming setting during your trip to Quebec City.

Here are my top 6 most beautiful places to enjoy your morning coffee.

La Maison Smith in the Petit Champlain district

Maison Smith, Place Royale, Vieux-Québec

In the charming Petit Champlain district, Maison Smith is a gem located in the heart of Place Royale, offering a truly unique experience. On the terrace, you can enjoy every sip while taking in the picturesque surroundings rich in history, including the Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church, one of the oldest churches in North America.

Maison Smith, a charming family-owned business, takes pride in serving up locally roasted coffee in their store.

I really enjoy their special coffee with maple or pistachio flavors! It’s so delightful. Experience the ultimate joy of sipping coffee in December while gazing at the magnificent Christmas tree on Place Royale from a window.

It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration while soaking in the authenticity and timeless beauty of this historic district!

Cantook, Limoilou

At Cantook, our sympa baristas are dedicated to serving you the perfect cup of coffee with passion and expertise! Just wanted to let you know that everything sold in bags and served at the counter is roasted by Cantook at their branch on St-Jean Street.

In this place, we adore the magnificent terrace on 3rd Avenue. Try a delicious cortado with oat milk and leave with a bag of coffee in hand, a tangible reminder of our cherished holiday memories..

Limoilou is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Quebec City. The streets are lined with beautiful mature trees and charming plexes with well-decorated balconies. 3rd Avenue is worth exploring with its small boutiques, restaurants, and local businesses. Once in the neighborhood, visit 2nd Avenue, one of the most beautiful streets in Quebec City, and take shortcuts through the charming alleys.
