Review Summary

Café DAX comes across as a warm, locally owned spot in Outremont where a hands on owner and a friendly team create a welcoming atmosphere and consistently excellent coffee and drinks, open seven days a week. The cafe earns praise for its cozy ambiance, indoor and outdoor seating, and a menu that ranges from specialty coffee and chai lattes to grilled cheese, croissant sandwiches, and treats like a dulce de leche donut, with a standout vegan gluten free cookie noted by many. The offering expands with wine by the glass and an on site sommelier, and plans to add frozen gourmet treats as part of an expansion. Guests describe it as a favorite for meetings and casual visits with friends, with service described as attentive and courteous. The space is also known for being pet friendly with dogs welcome, though a few reviews mention crowding in winter in the small space. Overall it is viewed as a top Montreal pick for third wave coffee, thoughtful bites, and a charming neighborhood vibe, with a terrace for summer and a convenient location near the metro.

Le café est vraiment dégueulasse & en plus il est OVERPRICED.
J'ai pas aimé l'attitude du manager/proprio. Tout ce qu'il a c'est une belle décoration mais ses produits sont vraiment hideux. Chas Ve Shalom, que D.ieu vous protège d'aller dans ce genre de café. Allez au café navire, 1000x mieux.

C'est l'un des meilleurs espresso à Montréal.
C'est très variable selon le(a) barista. Mes boissons chaudes ont tous été excellentes le matin mais pas top en fin pm.

This cafe & the hands on customer oriented owner goes above & beyond for the client! This is my favorite cafe in Montreal. I love the atmosphere, the ambiance & the maple oat milk latte is for me, one & only! I discovered this diamond of a place in the summer of 2024 & I have enjoyed many a good meetings & sit downs here with friends & so much good food from the grilled cheese to the dulce ro leche donut I can't say enough positive things about the epicness of this cafe! Dax cafe is about to expand into frozen ice cream gourmet treats so get ready for that as it's going to be one more addition to this already awesome cafe in the heart of Outremont!! Located on avenue Van Horne & open seven days a week even during holidays !!! I'd encourage you to support this Quebec owned local business that is full of heart & high quality coffee & hot & cold , beverages ( including epic wines!) , artisanal goods & ceramics for sale & an indoor & outdoor atmosphere that is gorgeous! If I could give Dax cafe 10 stars I would as they certainly deserve it! Excellent staff, excellent food & drinks.. it is your go to place! The best kept secret in Montreal is this gem!

Ps they welcome dogs on leashes… my Shiba is always welcome here which is yet another example of why Dax is so great!!! 😃

L'équipe du Dax nous a accompagné dans l'organisation d'un super 5@7! Une excellente expérience: beau choix de vins, petites bouchées & très belle atmosphère. 100% recommandé!

I like the coffee here & find the general set up of the cafe cute but the last two times I went I was kinda confused to see a bunch of wet dogs (it's winter) in this tiny packed space. I personally don't think animals belong where people eat, but I always pick up my order & leave so it's whatever. If you're allergic to dogs you might wanna avoid.

Lovely ambiance, & rare to find a cafe that also serves wine by the glass. Adorable terrace in the summer. Good coffee & probably the best vegan-GF cookie I've ever had in my ENTIRE life. For real. I just wish the cafe opened earlier, like 6:30-7am, so I could have time to grab a coffee on my way to work.

The coffee at DAX is authentic & hits the spot. Very well mannered & welcoming baristas. A great place to catch up with a friend or have a moment to yourself. I love the dax croissant sandwich (must try), the food feels like comfort food & is healthy!
