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.
First time here today & Alex the manager is a super star! & His staff is super friendly & professional. I recommend this place for any time of day the sweets are phenomenal as Is the coffee.
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.

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.
Came with kids for quick snack & coffee. The baked doughnuts were not too sweet & the kids loved it. Lots of sets to sit & have a chat & take a break. Does not offer pour over. But their filter & americano were pretty good. Would come again for a coffee break if we're in the area.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The coffee & sweets are of good quality. Personally, I like bright places, & this place is as brightly lit in the evening as it is during the day. I will visit again.

A vibrant & quite energetic looking cafe, i went looking for some donuts & found some really great looking ones here. The staff was okay, straight to the point, i got my donut & left, eager to eat it once i got home just a mere walk away. I realised though, that the donut's icing was quite.. moist? For lack of better word, & the fact that its put into a paper bag foretold a disaster! & as was foretold, the donut did not intend to provide me with a satisfying experience, as pictured. I tasted the icing though, & it was sweet! It would have been really good if it wasn't... like this. I tried a bit of the donut as well & it was already quite stale. Perhaps this was never meant to be a good experience to begin with :( a true shame. I would have loved to try their other flavours at the time but it was already empty at around 3pm. Would have given another chance if i were still in montreal
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.
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.
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.
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.
