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.

Un bon endroit de quartier, quelque fois, empressé, même pour les consommateurs fidèles. Un bon café de bonne mouture, wifi accessible & pratique, table & chaise confortable peut être occupé assise limité. Les cartes de fidélité ne sont plus disponibles malheureusement. Concept intéressant & novateur depuis son ouverture. Belle qualité d'ensemble. Possibilité d'expansion dans un plus grand local!! 8/10.

Un café original sur Van Horne. D'abord, le café était excellent, mais la présence de bouteilles de vin tout autour nous met certainement en appétit d'y revenir !

Ma première visite à ce café. J'avais choisi ce lieu pour y rencontrer une amie & lui présenter mon chien. Un des rares restaurants de Montréal qui accepte les chiens à l'intérieur. Un gros plus dans mon cas. J'y ai dégusté un excellent chai latté!

C'est tellement beau de voir ce café ! Les gens, le staff, l'ambiance! Je suis toujours à la recherche d'un nouveau café à essayer & j'ai trouvé la place par hasard. Je pense que le proprio était là, il prenait extra care de ses clients! Que dire du cappuccino & latté? Excellent! Je me suis sentie tellement bien quand j'étais sur place! Je vous souhaite une bonne continuité, vous méritez toutes vos fleurs! Merci de faire honneur à notre ville !

Un endroit incontournable! Le service est excellent, le café est exquis & la nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse. Mention spéciale pour le grilled cheese qui est vraiment bon. L'ambiance est vraiment fun & on se sent comme à la maison. Le propriétaire est généreux & contribue énormément à la vie du quartier. Je recommande vivement ce café à tous ceux qui cherchent un endroit convivial pour passer un bon moment.

I'm always excited to discover new coffee shops & Dax had been on my list for a while as it always looked cozy & fun whenever I saw it while driving on Van Horne. My girlfriend & I decided to visit today to get iced drinks on a very hot summer day. When I walked in, I was super happy to see shelves of small-batch coffee beans & cute to-go cups, etc. Honestly, I just really liked the aesthetic & vibes. The baristas were also quite polite. Where it all went wrong for me is the fact that another customer (who appears to be a regular by the name of Thierry) felt it was appropriate to look me over & say I was a "nice view" (TWICE.) What started as a friendly conversation about cortados quickly became weird & uncomfortable. When he asked me for my name & then my last name & I told him I wasn't comfortable, he quietly cussed me out before chatting up others in the coffee shop. Now, I know that this technically isn't the café's fault, but this all happened in front of the main counter & not one employee batted an eye. It didn't make me feel safe & largely because of this I'm not sure I'd want to come back here. Also, make sure to ask for extra syrup in your iced latte or cortado because they really don't put a lot. EDIT: Dominic, thank you for your reply. You must have me confused for someone else because I did not talk to any manager about this. I'm glad you told this man to leave, but that was already after I had left.

Enfin un petit café avec une ambiance café comme j'aime... la musique (pas trop forte), les odeurs de café & la décoration boisée. Je recommande le capuccino !

Excellent service, les barista sont très avenants & sympathiques. Leur Matcha Latte est très bon, tout comme leur décaff qui est très gouteux. Je recommande chaleureusement, c'est l'un de mes cafés préférés! Très bonne ambiance de surcroit & propreté.

Coffee (both filter & espresso-based drinks) are always tasty & consistent week in & week out - something hard to find among mtl cafes. Wine selection is one of the most impressively curated in town. Vibes & staff are always on point!
