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.
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.
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! 🥐🏙?
We come here every time we go to Montreal, & I love their beignes. Enjoy a coffee & some beignes & watch tray after tray of fresh beigness being brought out every 15 to 30 minutes.
They have a nice variety. My personal favorites are the vanilla glazed & the vanilla roussette. My wife loves the chocolate glazed. However, my one disappointment is that they used to have this which we have not been able to get for many of our visits to Montreal. Please make these part of your regular offerings again
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.
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.

The menu offers a wide variety of doughnuts & toasts, each one more tempting than the last. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, & beautifully presented. The highlight for us was the coffee-rich, smooth, & expertly brewed. It's clear that they take their craft seriously, making every sip a delight. Whether you're looking for a great breakfast, a quick coffee break, or a cozy spot to enjoy a bite, 49th Parallel Café delivers on all fronts. We'll definitely be coming back!
First time going there & not the last. The mocha was sooo good, rich & creamy. The donuts are definitely the highlight, probably the best donuts ive had. The strawberry frosted one was delicious, it tasted like fresh strawberries. Also loved the cinnamon cruller. Going back early to try more!!!
I really enjoyed my visit to Parallel Café. The salmon toast & Croque madame were absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The pricing was excellent, especially considering the high quality of the food. The café itself was spotless & had a modern, inviting ambiance that made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food in a clean & stylish setting!
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!

Beautiful & big cafe, the staff was nice, my coffee was delicious, & the donuts looked fresh, good, & there weren't any flies near them! They also had munchkins that were reasonably priced.
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!!
We stopped by for a quick bite for breakfast/brunch. They only have a few items for dining, but it was still worth the visit. The coffee was fantastic, & the breakfast items (mainly breakfast sandwiches) were yummy. The donuts were also delicious: perfectly soft & not too sweet. They were also massive! We saw them being made fresh in-house. The space is bright & airy with a decent amount of seating, but it can get busy. There was a line when we went, but it moved fairly quickly.
We passed by for some coffee & lucky's doughnuts & quite frankly... Both were underwhelming. The place was absolutely packed, & rolling. The line never got smaller the entire time we were there so we can only conclude that it is pretty popular. Honestly, we're not sure why. The coffee is extremely acidic & bitter. Not at all warm comfort you want on the type of cold windy day we were experiencing. As for the donuts, the level of freshness left a lot to be desired. There are many different flavours with various fillings & toppings but the overall quality does not really justify the price. As previously stated ; there were a lot of people & we were still served fairly quickly, which is a positive. The ability of the staff to manage under pressure is important at a busy coffee shop but otherwise overall a dissapointing product all around. Will not return, would not recommend to anyone we like.
I’m not normally a beignet person but this place is the exception.
49th parallel has excellent beignets, every day they have a few specials which are difficult to resist. Delicious, fresh & with flavours you won’t find anywhere else, their beignets are a must in Montreal.
Their sandwiches are also quite good.
I took the citron fromage beignet & my friend had the peanut butter & jelly.
