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.

Stumbled upon this spot for some iced lattes on a Sunday afternoon. Great coffee, pleasant service, & a very cute setting.

Pretty coffee shop in old Montreal with great iced lattes. For the donuts, I'd personally go for the vanilla glaze!

TOO EXPENSIVE. I ordered the Avo for 13$ +tx & received a brioche bun with 3 of the thinnest slices of avocado you can imagine. Absolute rip off. Then the chai latte with oat milk came to 8,50$ ! It was good, therefor 2 stars. But WAY too little for way too much money.

On a cold winter morning, I decided to order a hot chocolate here. I also took the opportunity to taste their vegan donuts. They have assorted flavours (matcha, rainbow sprinkles, red fruits & flowers, sprinkled candy, triple chocolate, vanilla). I'm so delighted, the vegan donuts are also gluten-free! They are baked instead of fried. The glaze is sooo sweet, it feels heavy to eat these for breakfast. 😵‍💫 The hot chocolate came out with pretty latte art. 😍 However, my throat felt scorched dry for the rest of the day after drinking it. 🔥 I suspect the roasted cacao to be the culprit.

49th Parallel is a great cafe with the perfect ambiance to study, eat, & relax. The selection of desserts there is wide, & everything is delicious. I often go for their chai latte, but their coffees are super yummy, too. The staff are all very friendly & seem to know a lot about their coffee. It is one of my favorite cafes around the area.

Quite a bit crowded. Has portals to charge your phone. The latte & baked goods are nice but the machiato is very bitter & quite small for the price

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
