J'y suis allé le matin à 8:20 pour la première fois pour prendre un américano. Il y a avait 4 personnes avant moi & ça a pris 10min avant que ce soit mon tour. J'ai payé mon americano à 8$ taxes & pourboires compris. J'ai attendu un autre 15 min & il n'ont servi que 3 à 4 personnes & ils en restait 4 ou 5 autres avant moi. C'était ridicule comme temps d'attente , je leur ai dit de ne pas faire ma commande & j'ai quitté sans me faire rembourser. C'est frustrant

I usually come there 2-3 times a week to take a'Roussette Vanille' in the morning. When I pay that price I expect it to be fresh made from the morning. In the last 6 months, I had 2 or 3 times the unsell product from the day before or worse. But this week this was 2 day in a row with not fresh product.

Closes very early & music volume is loud for a café it's not a disco. People need to talk.

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.

Coffee & doughnuts: a match made in Old Montreal heaven. ☕?🍩
If you're looking for the ultimate mid-day pick-me-up, 49th Parallel Café & Lucky's Doughnuts - McGill is calling your name. From their world-class direct-trade coffee to those legendary, hand-crafted Lucky's Doughnuts, it's the perfect spot to refuel in style.

Did you know that this stunning location-the brand's first-ever flagship outside of British Columbia-was a true labor of love? It took over a year to complete the renovation, meticulously preserving the building's 100-year-old exposed brick & stone masonry to blend Old Montreal charm with a sleek, retro aesthetic. ✨

Stop by to watch the pastry chefs through the glass-walled kitchen as they roll out fresh dough all day long! 🥐🏙?

They put Micro-torrefacteur in the name so you'd think it's small & local, but they're actually from BC & roasted on the West Coast.

It was our first time here. It's really a very cool place in the middle of downtown Montréal. It's cozy vibes gives the customers to enjoy coffee with bakery items & it's the WiFi facility makes the customers to sit here for long hours. Its prices are affordable in terms of coffee & donuts. I ordered matcha coffee, espresso coffee & the taste was amazing. The quality of the pistachio donut was okay types according to my experience but not too great as well but the raspberry donut was pretty good. Overall, it's a cool cafe to enjoy coffee & bakery items.
