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.
Ce café lumineux est perçu comme un endroit agréable pour travailler et se détendre, avec une ambiance calme et une belle décoration. Le café et les boissons variées sont globalement loués pour leur qualité, du cappuccino au latte en passant par le matcha, et le pink latte fait parfois débat car il s agit surtout de betterave avec du lait. L'offre alimentaire est simple mais bien présentée et appréciée par certains, avec des viennoiseries, des sandwichs et des plats qui conviennent pour un passage rapide ou un déjeuner léger; le tout est souvent valorisé pour accompagner l'atmosphère conviviale et inspirante du lieu. Le service est globalement chaleureux, mais des expériences mixtes sur la gestion des commandes et sur les espaces destinés au travail ont été signalées, notamment sur les zones de coworking et les règles liées aux ordinateurs portables. L'endroit est souvent décrit comme un lieu fort pour le travail et la socialisation, avec des espaces intérieurs et extérieurs accessibles et des détails esthétiques qui renforcent la vibe, et il est fréquemment recommandé comme incontournable pour les amateurs de café et de détente dans le quartier. Dans l'ensemble, Café Paper Hill apparaît comme une adresse populaire pour le café de qualité et l'ambiance accueillante, même si certains aspects comme le rapport qualité prix ou la constance de certains drinks peuvent varier selon les visites.
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.
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.

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.
