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.
Nice cozy cafe. I like the seating arrangement. There are some nice tucked-away tables in the corners around the cafe, less distraction.
I ordered a mocha to go. Unfortunately, it wasn't sweet enough to my liking. At first, I thought all the syrup was at the bottom & that the barista hadn't swirled/mixed thoroughly with the steamed milk... Alas, nothing there either. Tasted more like a regular latte. Also, not sure what the latte art design was supposed to be.....
Service was meh. Girl at the counter was very professional & helpful. The baristas making the drinks however were too busy chit-chatting with each other & not making any effort to acknowledge their customers. Simply called out the names & left the drinks on the counter without eye contact or greeting them.
I didn't try the donuts but I passed by the pastries & saw some really fancy-looking ones. Might have to give them a try next time I come back.
The guy that took my order was jovial. However, I cannot understand how the person that made my matcha thought it was okay.
I got in because I saw the Uchi matcha on their front door. Beautifully green & delicious looking. Therefore I ordered it.
What was given to me wasn't matcha, it was milk. I was hesitant taking it because it looked so pale, the « barista » looked at the drink & paper & said « ice matcha latte »
I took it, because « what if their matcha is strong ? » « I don't want to be a Karen » well now I had to drink milk with a tiny hint of matcha (an after taste if we can call it that). The reason I felt the need to write this review is that I had to pay 8$ (no tips) for this matcha. Why was I given milk? Why did the barista look at that & thought it was okay to serve…

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.
The doughnuts here are really good. They're kind of like a rice dough, soft & chewy with a thin layer of frosting. Best to eat there a of you touch it or if it touches the bag, the frosting rubs off so easily & it's less sweet & less enjoyable. I've come several times. They also have a great ambiance to work, wifi, & good drinks. Service is more on the friendly, casual side.
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.
Top coffee & donuts, staff is real friendly, probably one of the best places downtown. I really like the Venezuelan coffee, it's a bit sweet but a must in my opinion. The food is pricey I find but it never disappoints. The donuts & croissants are standouts. The atmosphere is great, lots of room to sit & it's very clean. Definitely a must for downtown coffee drinkers, there's a lot of good options & this one of the best.
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!

One of our favourite cafes from the west coast is here! Modern chic cafe with the best donuts! Great espresso-based beverages, make sure to check out their seasonal drinks & roasts before ordering.
A warning for any light coffee drinkers, this one has a KICK. I love strong coffee so their cappuccino hit the spot. The ambiance is very nice, very spacious, & has separate areas with different ambiances to pick where you'd like to sit. I have tried their doughnuts but I couldn't take my eyes off them because they were so pretty. The avocado toast was good but they have many other options for brunch that may be better.
On a cold winter morning, I decided to order a hot chocolate here. I also took the opportunity to taste their vegan donuts. They have assorted flavours (matcha, rainbow sprinkles, red fruits & flowers, sprinkled candy, triple chocolate, vanilla). I'm so delighted, the vegan donuts are also gluten-free! They are baked instead of fried. The glaze is sooo sweet, it feels heavy to eat these for breakfast. 😵💫 The hot chocolate came out with pretty latte art. 😍 However, my throat felt scorched dry for the rest of the day after drinking it. 🔥 I suspect the roasted cacao to be the culprit.

Pleasant place to sit down. I enjoyed the cold drink while I read my book. The staff were nice too. There's a good variety of doughnut, some less typical flavours. The one I bought was disappointing though; the dough felt like frozen fried paper. But at least its icing was flavourful.
The place was packed, with every table either covered in piled up plates & bowls or with people lingering on laptops. Doughnuts are fine. Honestly not worth the $11 for 2 Doughnuts & no drinks.
Very spacious coffee shop! Good spot for getting some online work done! Very friendly staff & really good coffee! Especially their Venezuelan coffee it (its great especially if you like caramel), I had the cutest heart in my drink :) definitely coming back!
