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.

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.

Everything about the cafe experience is fantastic, l, but the wifi here is atrocious. 250Kbps is unusable, this is 1994 speeds here

Bien pour étudier / travailler. Bouffe vraiment bof pour des prix élevés. Les beignes mes amis aiment bien. Généreux & belles saveurs le fun. Les caissiers sont toujours nice 😸 Les cafés sur place / to go très bons mais les grains qu'on a achetés en sac ne l'étaient pas du tout malgré une date de roast récente. Ne pas acheter le café...

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.

When an Americano makes you go wow & the donut selection & taste are superb....I am a tough crowd for coffee places, even the layout & decor of the place are well done. Great place all around.

Two stars for the tea & food which were solid. The employee looked at me like I had two heads when I asked about which coffees they were serving (both uninspiring blends). Turns out the coffee menu was posted on the register next to the one I was ordering from. This place used to buy & roast great coffee now it's part daycare part coffee corporation. For fans of Blue Bottle. Skip.

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

The place was packed, with every table either covered in piled up plates & bowls or with people lingering on laptops. Doughnuts are fine. Honestly not worth the $11 for 2 Doughnuts & no drinks.
