Café DAX is a specialty coffee shop & neighborhood gathering place in Outremont, known for carefully prepared coffee & a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The menu focuses on espresso drinks, filter coffee, tea, pastries, sandwiches, & light breakfast items, with a curated wine selection adding a distinctive touch.

What makes DAX appealing is the combination of serious coffee & laid-back hospitality. The bright, minimalist space, terrace, friendly service, & rotating coffee selection make it a nice place to linger. For a first visit, try a flat white, cortado, or V60 paired with a pastry or grilled cheese. An added bonus is DAX Glace, the artisanal ice-cream bar attached to the café, making the two a great coffee-&-dessert stop in Outremont.

I had a wonderful experience at Café Dax Today with my friend!
The café has a cozy, bright, & welcoming atmosphere, making it a lovely place to relax or catch up with a friend. It's conveniently located right across the street from the Outremont metro station.

I ordered the cortado, which was smooth, light, & perfectly balanced, along with a fresh, flaky, buttery croissant.

My friend ordered a delicious milk-based coffee (I forgot the name) & a small almond-flavored cake topped with chocolate. She really enjoyed both, they were fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented.

I was hoping to try the affogato, but unfortunately it was too early in the day since the ice cream wasn't available until 11 a.m. I'll definitely come back to try it next time! They also offer kombucha, a nice selection of other drinks, & an impressive variety of interesting wines.

The staff were friendly, the service was excellent, & everything we tried was fresh & high quality. I highly recommend Café Dax, & I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! ☕🥐🍨🍷

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!!! 😃

Café très bon & très sympa à deux pas de la station Outremont. Terrasse au soleil & beaucoup d'options. Possible d'y travailler & de s'y restaurer également.

Dax a fait ses preuves durant les dernières années & cela au travers de la pandémie. Non seulement côté café/torréfaction & /produits reliés excellente qualité mais aussi à l'ambiance des lieux grâce sa localisation donnant sur l'avenue Van Horne à Outremont, de grandes fenêtres & wifi. Je recommande, fait partie de mon top 3 Café Montréal!
