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!!! 😃

Fantastic little spot for good food in a chill atmosphere. Strongly recommend the grilled cheese & the mocha especially, it was the best of all the coffees I'd tried in Outremont.

Very nice coffee. Grilled cheese with ham was great but look, it's about $8 for a tiny sandwich it can be a treat only once in a while. The coffee is exceptional though, clearly they are using great coffee beans & baristas are extremely kind & professional. Overall it's worth a visit for a good cup of coffee.

Great location, right next to Outremont metro station. Has a nice little terrace. The espresso was great. I had a grilled ham grilled cheese & it was very good as well. The owner is very knowledgeable & passionate about coffee. Staff was nice too.

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.
