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.

Les toasts aux avocats ont changé. C'était des avocats frais avec du chimichurri vraiment délicieux. Maintenant c'est une pate d'avocat peu fraiche & il n'y a plus de chimichurri & plus le meme pain. Mais le prix n'a pas changé meme si la recette est de moins bonne qualité. A part ça l'espace est grand & tres beau avec une super belle ambiance.

The PB & J donut is to die for, anytime I pass nearby I have to make a stop & get it! It's that good!!!

4 stars because the donuts are crazy expensive. Would have been 5 stars otherwise. Coffee is great 👌🏻 IMO, it's a missed opportunity that they didn't translate their name to "Café 49e Parallèle" in Québec.

Excellent coffee but on the expensive side, almost 8$ for a cortado, which is much more than other coffees places around. They have also fresh pastries from the bakery in the back. They have a lot of places to work or study with plugs everywhere, they also have a great terrace! Overall its a great place!!

There are some very nice people working here. The Misto with oatmilk is my go to. I highly recommend this spot.

Caveat for those who are interested in avo toast. 1) what I googled & got 2) what I really got. Everyone there is nice & friendly. My go-to for tough days at work.

The donuts were awesome. The sandwich was amazing. I find it very hard to find a decent apple fritter as most places either make it wrong, burn it, or don't cook it enough so it ends up being raw in the middle. This place nailed it & not only that but throw some bacon on top & it's the perfect sweet & savory combination. I only wish I had more time to visit there. They did a bang up job on the coffee as well. Very friendly staff. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Stumbled upon this spot for some iced lattes on a Sunday afternoon. Great coffee, pleasant service, & a very cute setting.

I love their vegan donuts but I wish that after all this time they would add some more flavours especially since it cost $5.75 for one after tax & they put more expensive ingredients & more time into the non-vegan ones - which they charge less for.

Had brunch & was not let down. My ham & cheese croissant & salad & donut was one of the best meals/donuts I had during my visit to Montreal & in general. The aioli sauce was *chefs kiss*. Everyone at my table loved the food. One thing I'd say is the salmon toast was a disappointment & would pair better with cream cheese than the aioli but everything else we had was delish. Wish we had a location in my city. Will definitely return whenever I visit Montreal.

A reasonable place for a quick bite. You can also observe the baking process going on behind glass doors. Sandwich, house made pastries & bagels are available.
