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.

Giving 2 stars for the ambiance on the terrace that was very pleasant. However the service was disappointing (especially for the high price point). It felt like we were intruding when my friends & I tried to order at the counter.View more

Perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. The guy at the counter who is also the waiter was great. The food was good as well & the mimosas. I came here as I saw they have books & the variety is good as well.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

I liked the place, very pretty & nice music but I do come to cafes to work & they had very strict rules about laptops.View more

Good place to study, it's better to arrive early on weekdays because after 12 pm it gets crowded. There's seats with chargers & a good ambient to study with friends or by yourselfView more

Your barista leaves her station to play with a dog, which isn't even allowed indoors, only to go back behind the counter without washing her hands, to rush back with our plate only to blame the slow kitchen? Couldn't have asked for a worse first impression. But the bus boy was great, so bonus points for him. Salad & drinks were also pretty good.View more

The atmosphere is really pleasant, the coffee & bakeries are ok, great service. Café is used by many to work/study.View more

Finally got to try this place after seeing it promoted everywhere for months! I tried their vanilla iced latte. It wasn't too busy in the cafe around 2-3 PM, so I was able to find a place to sit (the upper level was mostly empty, but the ground level had a good amount of people working on their laptops). The latte was good, it tasted a bit like cereal milk more than vanilla & was on the milkier/weaker side, but I did still enjoy it! I'd like to come back to try their other iced drinks.View more

I had such a great time here! Definitely elevated my Montreal stay. Everything was great! Can't see myself becoming a regular though.
I had a vegetarian mushroom toast & pink latte. I don't think there's any caffeine in the drink but it is very tasty, refreshing & just sweet enough. I'm so relieved that it's not too sweet. Not sure if I'd get it again (other than for aesthetics) but even if I did it would taste like a good sweet treat. The toast is also very tasty but nothing special enough where you wouldn't be able to make one yourself. I still enjoyed it & I'd recommend coming here to try it at least once.View more

We came here to study for a few hours one afternoon, it's a great atmosphere & fairly quiet, the drinks are good but maybe on the pricey side. I like that they don't allow laptops 12-1pm & after 5pm, gives you time to take a break from studying! Would recommend :)View more

I somehow paid $14.50 (including tip & tax) for an iced latte & a croissant. Ordered an iced latte & it was so sweet, I didn't ask for a vanilla latte or even to have any sweetener added. They kept opening the window & doors even though it was below 10C & customers got up themselves to close the doors since it was so cold inside. It's very pretty & a great place to study, but not worth the moneyView 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
