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.

Really nice coffee shop with solid drinks & a good selection of treats. The coffee was good, & I appreciated that they also offer matcha. They have a nice variety of donuts & pastries, which all looked fresh & tempting. Overall, a pleasant spot to grab a drink & something sweet.

Very, very good coffee. My go to coffee shop when I'm at work. The doughnuts are really something else too! The only downside I find is the price of the the food. Coffee is rightly priced for quality, but things like breakfast sandwiches are really overpriced, even though they are good. Same for the doughnuts. I get they are specialty doughnuts but at over 5$ per piece it's a bit much. I guess the upside is that it's deterrent for eating too much. They should at least have box discounts, because at that price it's kind of difficult to get a box of 12 for a meeting.

Honestly one of the BEST coffee shops in Montreal. The staff were amazing, I even became a regular there & they all remembered me. The donuts are sooo good. 10/10 ♥?

Quaint little coffee shop near Square Victoria. Good coffee & donuts & usually not too packed.

The coffee shop always is crowded in every part. But it is the franchise coffee from Vancouver, every cup is delicious!

Top tier coffee shop. They have San remo Cafe racer espresso machine. Top tier grinders & a very balanced medium roast espresso bean. Lucky donuts are pricey but very much worth it. I would say this store matches the quality of their original shop in kitsilano Vancouver.

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

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.
