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.

We stopped by for a quick bite for breakfast/brunch. They only have a few items for dining, but it was still worth the visit. The coffee was fantastic, & the breakfast items (mainly breakfast sandwiches) were yummy. The donuts were also delicious: perfectly soft & not too sweet. They were also massive! We saw them being made fresh in-house. The space is bright & airy with a decent amount of seating, but it can get busy. There was a line when we went, but it moved fairly quickly.

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

La cadre est sympa dans ce café à donuts & les donuts sont bons, même si un peu trop gros & gras à mon goût. Mais cela conviendra sûrement aux plus gourmand.e.s !

A warning for any light coffee drinkers, this one has a KICK. I love strong coffee so their cappuccino hit the spot. The ambiance is very nice, very spacious, & has separate areas with different ambiances to pick where you'd like to sit. I have tried their doughnuts but I couldn't take my eyes off them because they were so pretty. The avocado toast was good but they have many other options for brunch that may be better.

J'adore les beignets ici, mais je n'aime pas que ce commerce permette aux clients d'emmener leurs gros chiens à l'intérieur, ou n'importe quels chiens à l'intérieur.

Venezuelan iced coffee & smoke sandwich brunch was delicious. Salmon was fresh, loved the dill on it.

Best doughnuts I've ever tasted! Specially the salted caramel doughnut!! I wouldn't normally spend almost 30$ for 6 doughnuts, but I would for these premium quality level pastries. I'm very disappointed that there is not a location in my hometown of Toronto.

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.

I absolutely love their coffee. They serve vegan doughnuts too. Their tiramisu doughnut is delicious.
