Dax Café is a beautiful little spot in Montreal with a warm atmosphere, great coffee & a very relaxed vibe. The place feels simple, clean & welcoming, the kind of café where you can sit down, slow down & enjoy your moment. The service is friendly, the quality is consistent & everything feels made with care. Definitely a place I would recommend for a good coffee, a quiet break or a casual meet-up in the city.

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.

Coffee (both filter & espresso-based drinks) are always tasty & consistent week in & week out - something hard to find among mtl cafes. Wine selection is one of the most impressively curated in town. Vibes & staff are always on point!
