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.

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.
