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

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.

Great cafe! It was busy but they have a fair amount of seating. The donuts were really delicious.

I ordered a box of 8 donuts via ubereats, the description stated it would have 4 filled & 4 regular donuts. I received 1 filled donut & 7 boring normal donuts... One of which was super stale/hard. You can imagine my disappointment upon opening the box & not even finding 4 filled donuts! Super disappointing for 35$. They didn't read my instructions specifically requesting certain flavours, either. I wanted some tiramisu donuts as I was specifically craving them but didn't even get one in the box. The donuts are tasty & the service in person is good, the workers are kind, but beware you may get a sad pick of donuts if you order an assorted box. I've had their hot chocolate & it was almost 9$ & pretty disappointing...

I go to a lot of cafés, & this one is officially my favourite one. It has a lot of spaces. You can sit alone, or with a group of friends. There's quiet spaces & open spaces. The decoration is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance is very much feels fancy & expensive, but the artwork makes it more inviting & hippie. They serve donuts & cafés both a really high quality. I am in love with the worlds because they're not overly sweet in the coffee just feels really good quality. I also like the colour theme of Tiffany, turquoise & gold. & the logo at the café 49 Parallel is a magnificent touch. Overall really a big fan of this café.

The PB & J donut was full of jam & it was a nice & big square-shaped donut. The Tiramisu donut was filled with a runny honey mascarpone cream & it was decadent

Overpriced coffee for a not very good coffee, if you like to enjoy a cafe with nice interior this is an okay place but however the coffee is not the best some of the baristas here lack skills & they might mess up your latte art so if you're looking for a cute social media picture you may want to consider your options it was a hit or miss for me a few times I went there & every time I ordered a coffee was either the prettiest latte art or the most terrible looking like a drawing from a 6 year old, ambiance & presentation is very important for a $7 coffee(small) & after I mentioned this to the barista she told me to "just think of it as abstract art" & didn't even offer to redo it, especially in the area of old port you can find so many great cafes with great coffees & aesthetically appealing, this place is more like a donut house where you can also get coffee with it so more like a fancy overpriced Krispy Kreme. very disappointed in the presentation & the attitude

Ordered a mocha & donut (traditional vanilla). Both were good. The environment was cozy. Nice place for grabbing a coffee

We passed by for some coffee & lucky's doughnuts & quite frankly... Both were underwhelming. The place was absolutely packed, & rolling. The line never got smaller the entire time we were there so we can only conclude that it is pretty popular. Honestly, we're not sure why. The coffee is extremely acidic & bitter. Not at all warm comfort you want on the type of cold windy day we were experiencing. As for the donuts, the level of freshness left a lot to be desired. There are many different flavours with various fillings & toppings but the overall quality does not really justify the price. As previously stated ; there were a lot of people & we were still served fairly quickly, which is a positive. The ability of the staff to manage under pressure is important at a busy coffee shop but otherwise overall a dissapointing product all around. Will not return, would not recommend to anyone we like.

Kinda disappointed because I went there around 1-2h & I was really hoping to have their donuts. I saw good reviews online but after arriving there the cassier told me that they only have the peanut butter one & weren't gonna have any more donuts for the day. Which I found strange because they're technically known for them & it was only 1-2h pm. Other than that, I like the place itself. Calm, not too loud & it's a nice place to study.

good food, a little pricey (1 donut is like 6 or 7 $)

Donuts are huge & amazing flavour, as is their coffee options. (Real coffee flavour) Available hot or iced for most beverages. Seating & atmosphere was very pretty.

The coffee is fine, baristas also, the highlight for me was more than one flavor of gluten-free donuts (if you go early enough), a bit sweet but firm so perfect spot for take-out breakfast/afternoon treat.
