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.

Super service ! Comme je n'ai pas vraiment aimé mon café, une des filles m'a proposé de le refaire & il goûtait meilleur que le précédent.

Was very disappointed with this coffee shop especially compared with other ones. Main Entrance doesn't work. The croissant was not fresh, the cappuccino wasn't great. There was only a large table where you can sit with a laptop. Not comfortable at all.

15$ pour un simple petit chocolat chaud lait de vache & un cookie matcha! Le service était très très bof, dommage car l'endroit est très beau.

Je n'ai rien à dire sur la nourriture c'était très bon mais en revanche... je n'ai jamais vu un café allongé de la sorte. Venant d'Europe je trouve ça scandaleux qu'on rajoute de l'eau chaude par dessus une shot de café. Je n'ai pas compris le concept de ce café... Dommage, bel endroit.

Very cute co-working space/café that has a very extensive brunch/lunch menu, although a little on the pricier side. I appreciate the the range of vegetarian & vegan options. The vibe is very pleasant with books & board games available & lots of seating! The co-working & non co-working space are clearly demarcated. The coffee quality is very good as well. I tried the pistachio croissant & the mushroom toast. The latter is very tasty & highly recommended. The pistachio croissant filling was excellent but wish the croissant was more fluffy & flaky. Would recommend this café whenever you're in Old Montréal!

Love this addition to the neighborhood.
Great coffee, sandwiches, soups & salads.
Friendly service in beautifully renovated industrial space.
Great terrace(s) during spring & fall, warm & cosy space when it gets cold outside.

I had a latte & a pistachio croissant that was delicious. Had a drip coffee after my latte was finished & the drip coffee was acidic & not my taste.

The space looks well curated & has a great vibe. I went in to try their iced blueberry matcha & banana bread latte. First, I had to repeat my request a few times to the girl behind the counter. I'm a pretty loud person & the music wasn't loud at all for her not to hear me. Then when I got my order & walked out, I realized even though I ordered it iced, it was not. So I went back in to get that fixed. Left & walked down the block. I should've tried a sip of both the drinks before this point but one would imagine they would get their order. The specialty latte was just a regular latte with no added flavor & the iced matcha was just that. An iced matcha. No blueberry, no banana bread syrup. Honestly disappointed because I was very much looking forward to trying this space from a recent video I saw on tiktok. I think the owner stood for something great, the space looks amazing but the execution on the drinks, poor.

En visite d'une journée à Montréal avec mon fils de 4 ans & demi, le café Paper Hill a été notre tout premier arrêt après la gare centrale pour le café & le petit déjeuner & quel début magique! 💛 🪄
La propriétaire, Selma, nous a accueillis avec une chaleur rare & sincère. Elle déborde d'attentions délicates : des paillettes multicolores & guimauves dans le chocolat chaud de mon fils, qui ont illuminé notre matinée.
Au-delà du café, Paper Hill est un véritable lieu d'art & d'âme : une projection de ballet danse doucement sur le mur, des livres & peintures inspirent la curiosité, & une musique de bon goût enveloppe le tout d'une atmosphère apaisante & raffinée. Chaque recoin respire la créativité & le soin du détail.
Un endroit où la qualité des produits rencontre la chaleur humaine & la beauté sous toutes ses formes.
Merci Selma pour ce moment d'humanité & d'art vivant.
Je recommande sans la moindre hésitation : un coup de coeur absolu.

Checked out Café Paper Hill this afternoon & it was a solid pick. Went for the seasonal pumpkin spice latte (because fall mood) & it was really nice, warm, flavorful, not overly sweet. Since I was feeling a bit peckish, I grabbed a bagel with cream cheese & jam. Simple but spot-on. Both hit the mark, & the size/price balance is fair, which is always a win in Montreal.
The atmosphere is great! bright, cozy, & the kind of spot you could actually sit down with a laptop & study. Music's at a chill volume (thank you, not blasting), & the back terrace is a sweet bonus when the weather's nice.
Service was friendly & laid-back, & the place has that calm neighborhood café vibe without being pretentious. Overall, a good place to grab a quality coffee, snack, & maybe hang out for a bit. Definitely worth a visit.

Café charmant juste à côté du palais des congrès. Peu achalandé en avant-midi, un endroit idéal pour travailler sur son laptop le matin en dégustant un café préparer avec soin. Une terrasse extérieure est aussi accessible à ceux qui le désirent. Toutefois, c'est une zone sans ordinateur, donc parfaite pour prendre un moment calme entre amis.

I went to this cafe where a lot of people were working. I bought a juice then a chocolate croissant, then a coffee. I was getting work done, so I bought a salad. About 20% into my salad someone came to tell me to move because I was in an area not for laptops. I tried to move but since everyone had to move at once there was no comfortable place left. I asked them to pack the lunch & went to eat it at home. Needless to say, I will not go back. I understand that you don't want to have people spending 5$ on a coffee take the space of other clients, but I spent 42$ only to be pretty much kicked out half meal. They delivered 3 times to my table & said nothing until I had spent on the biggest item. NOT IMPRESSED.
