Info & Location
Café Paper Hill is a café-bistro offering a selection of certified coffees, local seasonal dishes you can eat in or take away, evening aperitifs, alongside books and newspapers so you can unplug and refuel. Located in a heritage building, this place has a storied past. The story we choose to celebrate is its early days as home to the first print houses and publishers of Montreal. It is only fitting that we’ve dedicated an entire wall to our curated collection of books and magazines. Come in to savour an espresso and get lost in a novel, or simply pop-in for a change of pace.

Love this spot, I come here all the time to unwind. It's always calm, super clean, & just has a really chill vibe. They've got both a front & back terrasse, & the back one is honestly perfect when you just want some peace & quiet with your coffee.View more

They offer a great selection of well-brewed coffee. The server was wonderful & took the time to explain each item to me, especially since I have an egg allergy. The café is clean & has a pleasant atmosphere.View more

I love good priced quality coffee & they definitely have this here! The beans are usually light roasted or medium roasted with focus on quality taste!
Service is always welcoming & warm.
In tough times like 2025 we need to support local businesses more than ever!
Montreal need more cafes like this that really focus on high end coffee & good service!
I have now come here over 10 times & every time is a pleasure, support this place they deserve it 👏🙏View more

Paperhill Café (Montreal) is a unique, wonderful & welcoming place with a great vibe, delicious food, alcohol offerings, great coffees, & lots of care & attention by the owner & staff. The owner is very dynamic, creative, & responsive which translates beautifully to providing a memorable cafe experience. Varied indoor & outdoor seating options & cool activities. A very special location - just what the neighborhood & city needed. We go daily. Highly recommended.View more

This is my favourite place for coffee & matcha in Montreal😍. Cold brew tastes really like cold brew, not like iced americano, matcha tonic is one of the best in my life. Totally recommend!View more

Amazinggg coffee shop, I recently discovered this spot & was absolutely blown away :) They have an aesthetically pleasing, modern & cozy atmosphere with floor to ceiling windows, a projector playing movies & a small tree inside. The staff is lovely, the coffee is top-tier, the food is delicious (do yourself a favour & try the egg salad sandwich)! I'm on a mission to try everything on their menu.
It's one of the only coffee shops that closes late in the area (which I love), & it's so versatile! Perfect to relax & read a book (they have a library), study/work (lots of tables), or for an after work'5 à 7' (yes, they also have wineee)!
I'm really happy to have found Paper Hill, I have no doubt it will quickly become a must of the Montreal coffee crawl scene :)View more

This place has really phenomenal coffee - it's honestly the only thing I would go here for. The lattes are great, the espresso is fantastic. I got the pink latte too, which I think they're known for, but BE WARNED - it is legit just beetroot & milk. So if you don't like milky-beetroot, don't get it. I'm sure some people like it. Also, the food is fairly mediocre. If you are coming here to work, BE AWARE that I believe they changed their designated laptop spots, as there are only around 6 places total. There used to be a large table the first time I went, but I was told there cannot be laptops on it anymore....View more

Nice environment & nice staff. Had a maple coffee & blueberry matcha. I honestly wasn't satisfied with the coffee because the maple coffee just taste like a watered down latte. The ratio should be verified to make sure it taste like what it's marketed as! I definitely enjoyed the blueberry matcha much more but the blueberry taste was quite overpowering. What I noticed about the matcha is the way it is stored. As a matcha lover, I am fairly educated on the best way to prepare & conserve it. Their matcha is kept in a clear container which is a big red flag for how the matcha will taste. In a non-airtight & non-light deprived environment the matcha loses its taste & quality significantly. I wish they would take that into consideration & provide their clients the best quality ingredients:)View more

Nice café, friendly staff & cozy/industrial style. A very nice touch, is that they split the seating area into workspace & laptop-free space. The staff also consequently applied these rules, where some people would still sit with their laptops & start working in'laptop-free' areas. They would kindly ask them to move to the workspace area.
For people who go there to only drink a coffee, have a bite & simply go for a talk, very nice touch.
We ordered:
• Latte, Cappuccino, Almond Cake, Chocolatine, Pancake & Bagel
• Latte had good flavour, foam was smooth, temperature maybe on the sight hot side, reason why the foam was dissolving a bit faster than I'm used to.
• Cappuccino was good
• Almond cake, was very tasty. Subtle almond taste, not too sweet & very light in general.
• Chocolatine, was a bit small & especially felt like it wasn't as fresh anymore as the crust itself was hard (not crunchy) & not as airy & light on the inside.
• Pancakes were a bit heavy, compact.
• Bagel was good, crunchy & soft, good flavours.View more
