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.

Good coffee, good vibe. Often packed with folks working but you'll find high chair & a lounge in the back, so grab a coffee & enjoy a delicious donut 🍩

Les beignes sont correct mais sans plus. Les Brioches aux raisins fade & sans goût. Bonne appréciation du café & des baristas.

I ordered 3 donuts, which felt a bit overpriced. There must've been a mistake with the salted caramel one because it was SO salty, it felt like they dropped the salt shaker in the icing. The filled one was filled only half way, disappointing. The third one (berry glazed) was great.

Omg ... I have realised how this place is from the inside ... they have a variety of pastries & donuts which are delicious.. Place is usually crowded ... not for someone who wants to sit & talk ...

Lovely place, nice staff but everything is so much overpriced for what you get. The donuts are good but some lacks a bit of flavour. Specialty coffee is very good but you can find equivalent elsewhere. I don't care paying a premium for something special but still, I think this is overpriced. You should try it & judge by yourself if it's worth the price.

Very nice atmosphere & lovely staff, but can be very busy & difficult to find a seat during peak times. I had the Doug sandwich which was nice & I would have again. The coffee was nice however it was nice the warmest when I got it. So lost a star for that. But I would definitely come back again.
