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.

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!!! 😃

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 !

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.

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.

Manager is incredibly sweet. Walked in for the first time today. Asked for a recommendation between lattee & chai lattee. Needless to say, lattee did not disappoint. Parking is iffy, but the friendly environment was worth it! Edit: an hour later, I was given a chai lattee on the house thanks to the manager - such a sweet gesture. Lattee is still the way to go!

J'adore ce Café & je vous recommande le latté à l'érable, une vrai merveille ! Propriétaire super sympa. Les croques monsieur sont pas mal non plus.

J'ai pris un café latte à l'érable avec lait d'avoine & c'était vraiment un des meilleurs cafés que j'ai pris depuis longtemps à Montréal, très velouté & doux au goût, parfait pour une journée pluvieuse. Agréablement surpris par la politesse & l'entregent de l'équipe!
