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.

Now this is my kind of cafe. Very modern, clean & pretty...the color scheme gave it a Tiffany vibe. 5 stars if the bathroom was little more cleaner, sink faucet that had water running & misplaced toilet paper.

Not bad ,a bit overpriced for me . I can't say it's some amazing experience to justify it ,worth to try once a year or so

Vraiment cool comme endroit. Bon service. Bon beignes. Mais 1.25$ pour du lait végétal ce n'est pas justifié.

Best donuts I've everrr had!! The flavours rotate so everything I come there's new donuts to try & the flavours are so vivid. They use quality ingredients & the donuts are always fresh! Delicious espresso & espresso based drinks as well!

The best coffee & donuts! The barista suggested the maple latte & it was incredible. The vanilla glazed donut was my favorite. Friendly staff with a cozy cafe atmosphere. The donuts sell out so make sure you get there early for the good flavors. There was a bit of a line but it moved fast. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

One of the best donuts in North America. Coffee: As usual cold & watery. Sometimes these cafes are overrated. Funky baristas not interested in listening to the customer & not sure if they use 3.75% milk or 1%. Latte & Cappuccino were watery like Tim horton french vanilla. Starbucks gets a lot of rap but atleast their Latte is milky & foamy & Extra hot is extra hot.

Endroit très agréable avec une musique douce , personnel au soin , parfait endroit pour s'évader , seul petit bémol c'est qu'il n'y avait pas les petits toasts salés a 09 h du matin , mais j'ai pris une viennoiserie pêche qui était excellente , merci
