49th Parallel Café - Lucky's Doughnuts Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
CaféDesserts & SweetsBreakfastBoutique-CounterBrunch

49th Parallel Micro-Torréfacteur Cafe opens its doors in Montreal at its first ever location outside of British Columbia in the summer of 2021. Finding and creating this space was a long, occasionally challenging but always interesting process that took over a year to complete!

The space itself, its location in the heart of Old Montreal and the building’s history were an obvious draw. This was a labour of love from all the people involved in the project, from the contractor to the designer – everyone came together to preserve the charm of the old building with its exposed 100 year old bricks and stone masonry while bringing it to life with a sleek retro design.

Our fourth Café features the 49th coffee everyone knows and loves, Lucky’s donut menu revamped with reimagined Quebec classics and a full kitchen featuring breakfast egg burgers and seasonal brunch offerings (coming soon).

Review Summary

Overall, reviews of the café known as 49th Parallel Café Lucky's Doughnuts describe a popular Old Montreal spot with strong coffee and a tempting pastry selection, especially its donuts which are large, indulgent, and often delicious, though some customers find them too sweet, dry, or pricey. Coffee quality ranges from well brewed, single origin and smooth to burnt or inconsistent, with reports of pastries not being fresh or stock from previous days. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as cozy, stylish, and conducive to work or catching up with friends, with reliable wifi and ample seating, but crowding or loud music can detract. Service receives mixed feedback: friendly and efficient at times, sometimes slow or brusque, and a few disappointments with staff interactions. Location in Old Montreal is a draw, and reviewers linger for long stays or grab quick takeout. Overall, it is a beloved yet pricey destination that excels in donuts and ambiance more than uniform value across visits.

Les beignets à la pistache étaient vraiment éclatés au sol. Ils sont 3 derrière le bar pour sortir en 15 min 2 chocolat, belle perf. Le service à la caisse était tout à fait convenable. Café fait pour les traders Tik tok qui prennent les places de 8h a 18h pour rentabiliser leur formation de Oussama Amar. Allez à Tim Hortons vous serez mieux reçu !

Les beignes sont correct mais sans plus. Les Brioches aux raisins fade & sans goût. Bonne appréciation du café & des baristas.

Bien pour étudier / travailler. Bouffe vraiment bof pour des prix élevés. Les beignes mes amis aiment bien. Généreux & belles saveurs le fun. Les caissiers sont toujours nice 😸 Les cafés sur place / to go très bons mais les grains qu'on a achetés en sac ne l'étaient pas du tout malgré une date de roast récente. Ne pas acheter le café...

I’m not normally a beignet person but this place is the exception.

49th parallel has excellent beignets, every day they have a few specials which are difficult to resist. Delicious, fresh & with flavours you won’t find anywhere else, their beignets are a must in Montreal.

Their sandwiches are also quite good.

I took the citron fromage beignet & my friend had the peanut butter & jelly.
