Review Summary

49th Parallel Café - Lucky's Doughnuts is widely celebrated for its high-quality coffee and impressive selection of flavorful, decadent donuts, often described as some of the best in Montreal. The cafe offers a beautiful, spacious, and welcoming atmosphere that makes it a popular destination for both remote work and social gatherings. While many guests appreciate the efficient service and friendly staff, experiences can be inconsistent, with some reports of long wait times, occasional staffing issues, and variability in product freshness or menu availability.

Very disappointing matcha latte. There was almost no matcha taste at all just warm milk. I also had to wait about 10 minutes even though there were only two people ahead of me. The color of the matcha looked nothing like what was shown in their photos. Definitely not worth the price.

the cashier didn't let us know flat white didn't come with iced option but barista was nice enough to remake a latte. They also didn't have decaf beans. We went on July 1st on the hotest day but the cafe was really hot which caused all the frosting on our donuts to melt. The kid made a big mess from the frosting😕

Ce n'est plus comme avant:

J'attends depuis fin 2024 que mon beigne préféré revient. C'était le'Strawberry Cheesecake' je pense (peut être j'ai même oublié le nom, mais pas le goût) & à chaque fois je demande si on l'aura de nouveau mais ils n'ont aucune idée...
Mais la vraie raison de cet avis est que c'est la quatrième fois que je demande pour du café filtre & que leur réponse c'est que'la machine est brisée'. Ça fait presque un mois déjà !

Pire place. Pas de café décaf & j'ai dû attendre 30 minutes… pour un croissant. (Que je n'ai finalement jamais eu parce que j'ai quitté, trop serrée par le temps, après être retournée les voir au comptoir pour les aviser.) Je précise que ça m'a coûté une vingtaine de dollars pour un chocolat chaud & ledit croissant que je n'ai jamais eu.

I was invited by a friend. Had the small latte & a glazed (old fashioned) doughnut. Both were awesome. Shall definitely return. The place was packed by the way.

Nice cozy cafe. I like the seating arrangement. There are some nice tucked-away tables in the corners around the cafe, less distraction.

I ordered a mocha to go. Unfortunately, it wasn't sweet enough to my liking. At first, I thought all the syrup was at the bottom & that the barista hadn't swirled/mixed thoroughly with the steamed milk... Alas, nothing there either. Tasted more like a regular latte. Also, not sure what the latte art design was supposed to be.....

Service was meh. Girl at the counter was very professional & helpful. The baristas making the drinks however were too busy chit-chatting with each other & not making any effort to acknowledge their customers. Simply called out the names & left the drinks on the counter without eye contact or greeting them.

I didn't try the donuts but I passed by the pastries & saw some really fancy-looking ones. Might have to give them a try next time I come back.

This cafe almost feels like a hidden gem for students. A calm, bright safe haven for long study hours. Delicious coffee with prices on par with the current state of Montreal cafes (hello $7 iced latte). Enjoy the donuts earlier in the day, maybe skip near the end of the afternoon as they tend to get the tiniest bit hard. A favourite nonetheless!

The guy that took my order was jovial. However, I cannot understand how the person that made my matcha thought it was okay.

I got in because I saw the Uchi matcha on their front door. Beautifully green & delicious looking. Therefore I ordered it.

What was given to me wasn't matcha, it was milk. I was hesitant taking it because it looked so pale, the « barista » looked at the drink & paper & said « ice matcha latte »

I took it, because « what if their matcha is strong ? » « I don't want to be a Karen » well now I had to drink milk with a tiny hint of matcha (an after taste if we can call it that). The reason I felt the need to write this review is that I had to pay 8$ (no tips) for this matcha. Why was I given milk? Why did the barista look at that & thought it was okay to serve…
