Le Café Paper Hill est un café-buvette qui offre une gamme de cafés certifiés, une cuisine locale et de saison à manger sur place ou à emporter, un apéro le soir et des livres/journaux en tout temps. Situé dans un édifice patrimonial, le lieu a déjà eu mille vies. Dans celle-ci, nous rendons hommage à l’histoire du quartier, connu autrefois pour ses nombreuses imprimeries et maisons d’éditions. Un mur entier y est donc dédié à notre collection d'œuvres imprimées. Venez déguster un espresso ou un roman, ou tout simplement tourner la page sur votre journée.
Dans l'ensemble, Café Paper Hill est perçu comme un espace lumineux et accueillant, avec un excellent café, des pâtisseries et un service attentif. De nombreux avis louent l'ambiance calme et propice au travail, avec des sièges confortables, une bonne lumière et un personnel sympathique. Plusieurs avis mentionnent une forte configuration coworking et une terrasse arrière, bien que certains trouvent l'endroit bondé et déplorent des règles concernant les ordinateurs portables qui limitent l'espace. Bien que le menu et la qualité des boissons soient appréciés, quelques commentaires signalent une exécution variable des boissons, notamment le pink latte ou le matcha, et des tarifs parfois élevés par rapport à la valeur. Beaucoup soulignent aussi le décor soigné et l'esprit communautaire qui font de Café Paper Hill un lieu de quartier pratique pour le café et le travail occasionnel.
J'ai beaucoup aimé mon passage au Café Paper Hill. Mon pain doré aux petits fruits était succulent. Mon latté cabane à sucre était bon, sans plus. Je dois mentionner que j'apprécie la zone resteraient de travail à l'ordinateur, cela permet d'avoir suffisamment de places pour tout le reste de la clientèle & une atmosphère agréable (points bonus pour la playlist qui oscillant entre artistes indie & succès des années 70-80-90,ainsi que la géante bibliothèque offrant livres & jeux de société pour passer un bon moment au Café).
Perfect spot to study, work, read a book or even sit down & socialize with the people you are hanging out with. Their lattes are yummy & so are their pasteries. They have a place for computers & I genuinely think this is my favorite study spot. The aesthetic is extremely cute & the baristas are so sweet. I definitely reccomend this place for a study session.

I tried the pink latte, & I thought it was quite interesting. It is just beetroot with milk, but the thick syrup at the bottom gave me a hint of a strawberry, fruity taste. It was quite nice. I didn't particularly enjoy the vibe when I stayed in, though; beautiful decor & space, just wasn't very comfortable for sitting alone.
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!
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.
Sorry to leave a bad review but I went twice & was disappointed both times. The place is beautiful but the service was cold & inattentive, the price point is high & the matcha latte was very bad (one of the worst I've ever had). Definitely not worth the visit in my opinion.
I love starting my mornings at this café! The coffee is well balanced, smooth, rich & never bitter. The staff & owner are kind & attentive, making every visit feel warm & welcoming. Grateful to have this is my neighborhood!
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.

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.
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.
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 money

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....
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:)
I don't usually write bad reviews, but I wanted to share my experience so that people don't waste their time coming here for a pink latte.
Honestly, the pink latte tastes horrible…
It's like beetroot juice mixed with steamed milk, & there's no espresso in it. It shouldn't be called a'pink LATTE.'
