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).
Across reviews, 49th Parallel Café - Lucky's Doughnuts is described as a cozy, popular spot with solid coffee and a tempting lineup of donuts and pastries, a dependable place to work or study thanks to good wifi and ample seating, and a friendly, professional staff even when service is uneven during busy times; some drinks fall short such as a mocha not sweet enough and an inconsistent matcha, while prices stay on the higher side, but the donuts and pastries are widely praised as delicious and fresh, making the overall vibe calm, bright, and welcoming in Old Montreal and worth a visit for a quick coffee break or a longer study session.
Very nice & comfortable coffee shop, I enjoyed my espresso once & the other Time tea. The have a good selection of loose leaf tea, a rarity in most coffee shops.
The best coffee & donuts! The barista suggested the maple latte & it was incredible. The vanilla glazed donut was my favorite. Friendly staff with a cozy cafe atmosphere. The donuts sell out so make sure you get there early for the good flavors. There was a bit of a line but it moved fast. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
One of the best donuts in North America. Coffee: As usual cold & watery. Sometimes these cafes are overrated. Funky baristas not interested in listening to the customer & not sure if they use 3.75% milk or 1%. Latte & Cappuccino were watery like Tim horton french vanilla. Starbucks gets a lot of rap but atleast their Latte is milky & foamy & Extra hot is extra hot.
Beautiful & big cafe, the staff was nice, my coffee was delicious, & the donuts looked fresh, good, & there weren't any flies near them! They also had munchkins that were reasonably priced.
4 stars because the donuts are crazy expensive. Would have been 5 stars otherwise. Coffee is great 👌🏻 IMO, it's a missed opportunity that they didn't translate their name to "Café 49e Parallèle" in Québec.
Excellent coffee but on the expensive side, almost 8$ for a cortado, which is much more than other coffees places around. They have also fresh pastries from the bakery in the back. They have a lot of places to work or study with plugs everywhere, they also have a great terrace! Overall its a great place!!
The donuts were awesome. The sandwich was amazing. I find it very hard to find a decent apple fritter as most places either make it wrong, burn it, or don't cook it enough so it ends up being raw in the middle. This place nailed it & not only that but throw some bacon on top & it's the perfect sweet & savory combination. I only wish I had more time to visit there. They did a bang up job on the coffee as well. Very friendly staff. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Amazing coffee, DELICIOUS donuts with vegan options, I highly recommend this place! Not to mention, the place is very cute & has a terrace for the summer !
