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.
First time going there & not the last. The mocha was sooo good, rich & creamy. The donuts are definitely the highlight, probably the best donuts ive had. The strawberry frosted one was delicious, it tasted like fresh strawberries. Also loved the cinnamon cruller. Going back early to try more!!!
Located right on McGill Street, this spot offers some of the best coffee & donuts in Downtown Montréal. With a perfect ambiance, it's a must-try for anyone visiting the area.
Many sitting places to take a coffee & pastries. They have so many different options & interesting flavours. I got pudding chômeur & it was GOOD. I find a price is ok for the size of donut, good customer service & relaxing ambiance.
A vibrant & quite energetic looking cafe, i went looking for some donuts & found some really great looking ones here. The staff was okay, straight to the point, i got my donut & left, eager to eat it once i got home just a mere walk away. I realised though, that the donut's icing was quite.. moist? For lack of better word, & the fact that its put into a paper bag foretold a disaster! & as was foretold, the donut did not intend to provide me with a satisfying experience, as pictured. I tasted the icing though, & it was sweet! It would have been really good if it wasn't... like this. I tried a bit of the donut as well & it was already quite stale. Perhaps this was never meant to be a good experience to begin with :( a true shame. I would have loved to try their other flavours at the time but it was already empty at around 3pm. Would have given another chance if i were still in montreal
Top coffee & donuts, staff is real friendly, probably one of the best places downtown. I really like the Venezuelan coffee, it's a bit sweet but a must in my opinion. The food is pricey I find but it never disappoints. The donuts & croissants are standouts. The atmosphere is great, lots of room to sit & it's very clean. Definitely a must for downtown coffee drinkers, there's a lot of good options & this one of the best.
Best donuts I've everrr had!! The flavours rotate so everything I come there's new donuts to try & the flavours are so vivid. They use quality ingredients & the donuts are always fresh! Delicious espresso & espresso based drinks as well!

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.
One of our favourite cafes from the west coast is here! Modern chic cafe with the best donuts! Great espresso-based beverages, make sure to check out their seasonal drinks & roasts before ordering.
