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! ☕🥐🍨🍷

Il y avait un peu trop de lait dans le latte qui réduisait sa chaleur & le goût du café. Bel endroit néanmoins avec vaste sélection de vins & crème glacée pour l'après-midi. J'essaierai autre chose le prochain coup

I've been going to Dax for years, & it remains one of my favorite local coffee shops. It's not just a neighbourhood gem, it consistently ranks among the best specialty coffee spots in the city. The team is incredibly welcoming, & their customer service is second to none. They're passionate about what they do, & it shows in every cup. Dax also offers an impressive selection of Canadian-roasted specialty beans, perfect for both casual coffee lovers & serious home brewers. The quality, consistency, & atmosphere make it a place I keep coming back to.
