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.

Completely overcrowded with to many people working from there versus consuming what they bought so not enough seats for everyone.

Ordering a cafe took literally 20min

Absolument parfait sauf le fait que personne ne parle français. Par contre la serveuse dont je n'ai pas eu la bonne idée de demander le prénom à été vraiment adorable & serviable. Je suis handicapé & elle m'a offert de m'aider si j'avais besoin de quoi que ce soit & à porté mon café pour moi en me disant de ne pas me sentir coupable de demander de l'aide.
mettez une rampe SVP!

The coffee is fine, baristas also, the highlight for me was more than one flavor of gluten-free donuts (if you go early enough), a bit sweet but firm so perfect spot for take-out breakfast/afternoon treat.

I’m not normally a beignet person but this place is the exception.

49th parallel has excellent beignets, every day they have a few specials which are difficult to resist. Delicious, fresh & with flavours you won’t find anywhere else, their beignets are a must in Montreal.

Their sandwiches are also quite good.

I took the citron fromage beignet & my friend had the peanut butter & jelly.

Love the coffee but the atmosphere was marred by members of management & their loud conversations in the table(s) next to us. "How can I support you?" repeated over & over again by a person who seemed to be regurgitating management-speak from an ESL course he just took, in a loud obnoxious voice. We move & then the table next to us they're conducting cringe job interviews with the most eyeroll-inducing of questions. "What will you bring to the kitchen?" lol. I don't need work triggers when I'm out for coffee, please & thank you.

Simple & efficace. Surtout ouvert le matin dès 7 heures. Wifi gratuit disponible & café dans le centre de Montréal. On peut y travailler pour ceux qui ont besoin de rédiger un rapport.

I have been to almost all the cafes in Montreal & this place has the best espresso
