Le 49th Parallel Micro-Torréfacteur Cafe ouvre ses portes à Montréal à son tout premier emplacement hors de la Colombie-Britannique à l'été 2021. Trouver et créer cet espace a été un processus long, parfois difficile mais toujours intéressant, qui a pris plus d'un an !
L'espace lui-même, son emplacement au cœur du Vieux-Montréal et l'histoire du bâtiment ont constitué un attrait évident. Il s'agissait d'un travail d'amour de la part de toutes les personnes impliquées dans le projet, de l'entrepreneur au designer - tout le monde s'est uni pour préserver le charme de l'ancien bâtiment avec ses briques et sa maçonnerie de pierres centenaires exposées, tout en lui donnant vie avec un design rétro élégant.
Notre quatrième Café propose le café 49th que tout le monde connaît et adore, le menu de beignets Lucky's revisité avec des classiques québécois réimaginés et une cuisine complète proposant des hamburgers aux œufs pour le petit-déjeuner et des offres de brunch saisonnières (à venir).
Les avis sur 49th Parallel Café - Lucky's Doughnuts décrivent globalement une expérience axée sur un café de qualité et une belle variété de beignets, souvent frais et tentants, avec des options comme matcha ou chai latte qui plaisent et des beignets vanille, pistache ou chocolat très appréciés; certains commentent toutefois des variations de fraîcheur selon le jour et des temps d'attente plus longs que prévu, et d'autres trouvent les prix élevés pour le quartier. L'ambiance est fréquemment décrite comme agréable et propice au travail ou aux rencontres entre amis, avec un wifi correct et des espaces confortables, mais à certaines heures le lieu peut devenir bruyant et le volume musical peut paraître trop fort. L'emplacement central et le décor soigné renforcent l'attrait, et les avis soulignent souvent le charme et la sélection généreuse de donuts qui font un vrai point d'attraction. Dans l'ensemble, ce lieu demeure une halte populaire pour une pause sucrée ou une étude tranquille, bien notée pour le café et les douceurs et parfois ralentie par le service ou le prix.
49th Parallel came through with donuts so big they could probably qualify as real estate. I thought I was grabbing a quick sweet tooth snack, but one donut was enough to feed my whole family tree. Size aside, they're actually really good... like really good: fluffy, sweet, & worth every bite.
I paired mine with a regular coffee. Coffee was… fine. Standard fuel, nothing to write home about. The donut definitely stole the show.
I almost went for takeout until I saw those paper bags. Let's just say me vs. giant donut in a tiny paper bag would've been a public anger-management seminar, so I opted to sat down dine-in instead. Good call! the café has solid wifi, nice atmosphere, & I didn't have to battle pastry packaging.
Prices lean on the higher side, especially for coffee, but honestly, the donuts make it worth it. If you're in Old Montreal & want to test your sweet tooth stamina, this is the spot.

Very, very good coffee. My go to coffee shop when I'm at work. The doughnuts are really something else too! The only downside I find is the price of the the food. Coffee is rightly priced for quality, but things like breakfast sandwiches are really overpriced, even though they are good. Same for the doughnuts. I get they are specialty doughnuts but at over 5$ per piece it's a bit much. I guess the upside is that it's deterrent for eating too much. They should at least have box discounts, because at that price it's kind of difficult to get a box of 12 for a meeting.
Went there at 5:10 on a day they closed at 6. All donuts were cleared from the shelves already. I had gone in the past in the early morning & had a good experience with the donuts. Fresh & a unique flavor. But today I was disappointed that I couldn't get the donuts.
We ordered some coffees to go. The coffee is quite good. I bought the beans to make them at home too. Only down side was not being able to get the donuts.
The doughnuts are giant & so rich in flavour. I chose the salt caramel one & it was glossy & delicious. The coffee & teas were good as well. The atmosphere was a little loud & crowded but that only reflects how good they are.
Honestly one of the BEST coffee shops in Montreal. The staff were amazing, I even became a regular there & they all remembered me. The donuts are sooo good. 10/10 ♥?
Relaxed vibe & friendly staff. The glazed donut was crispy on the outside & soft inside. Loved the maple coffee too - smooth & just the right amount of sweetness. Great spot to unwind.

Possibly one of the best cafés in the Old Port area: great coffee & pastries, beautiful interior decoration, spacious, friendly service. Expect a line up at rush hour. Highly recommended.

I love this store, the coffee, donuts, & service are great. But can we PLEASE stop putting the donuts into paper envelopes. It completely rips off any toppings/frosting. It is my biggest gripe about this place & I wish they'd just put them in boxes.
Fantastic Coffee & Cozy Atmosphere at 49th Parallel!
I recently visited 49th Parallel, & it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile & the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, perfect for catching up on work, reading a book, or meeting friends.
I tried the flat white coffee, & it was absolutely perfect-smooth, rich, & expertly crafted with a velvety texture. Along with it, I had a choco caramel donut, which was the perfect balance of sweet & indulgent. The combination of the creamy coffee & the decadent donut made for an amazing treat.
The staff was friendly & knowledgeable, happy to recommend drinks based on my preferences. The attention to detail in both the drinks & the customer service really stood out.
If you're looking for a great coffee spot, I highly recommend 49th Parallel! I'll definitely be coming back.
I really like this café & try to visit on weekends to enjoy their coffee. They use single-origin beans, which makes for a high-quality brew. However, I find the donuts a bit too sweet. If the sweetness was slightly reduced, they would be absolutely perfect!
