Paquebot Café emerges as a cozy, vinyl loving spot with friendly staff and solid coffee that many reviewers praise, while a few feel the drinks and desserts fall short of the hype or are priced a bit high. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm and charming, with good lighting, a space to linger or work, and an upstairs area that offers a nice overlook, plus a record player and shelves of vinyl that add character. The menu is often noted as small or limited, yet several drinks stand out such as cappuccino, sesame latte, and matcha latte, and there are tasty pastries and vegetarian options mentioned. Some comments point to inconsistent quality or value and to seating being tight or uncomfortable at times, but the overall impression is that Paquebot Café is a beloved, convenient spot for coffee, a bite, and a relaxing break while exploring Montreal.
This place was great, right around the corner from our hotel. I walked here for coffee both mornings & this remains the best coffee I had while in Montreal. I bought a bag of wush wush (rare!) to bring back to Toronto with me - I never see it here! Love this cafe & they were lovely to chat with.
This was our favorite coffee in old Montreal, & we tried a lot of places. The coffee tasted great & chocolate chip cookie was incredible! It's in a great location & the service was good too.
Okay the matcha & sandwich were tasty, I'll give them that. I wish the WiFi didn't cut in & out every few minutes, & I would've enjoyed my experience here quite a bit more. Matcha art was on point & the sandwich was tasty (wish it had a tad bit more of the spicy mayo sauce but that's just my personal preferences).
Love coming back to this'hole in the wall' serving delicious espresso-based coffee. Super friendly staff & cozy atmosphere. Indoor seating & outdoor patio in the Summer.
J'adore revenir dans ce petit recoin servant un délicieux café expresso. Personnel super agréable & ambiance chaleureuse. Espace pour s'asseoir à l'intérieure & terrasse extérieure en été.
No more kombucha nor do they have seasonal sodas. Review is for anyone looking for those items. Soda is on their menu but not actually available. Bummer after you line up & wait for 10 min & find out. Should remove it if it's not available. Friendly barista & cute space tho! Lemonade is tasty but mostly ice.
My wife & I visited right after picking up bikes from Ca Roule. It was a sunny morning, & they have a nice sidewalk patio that's situated perfectly for morning sunshine so we sat there. I had a flat white & my wife had a cappuccino which were both really good. I had a breakfast wrap which was stuffed full & super tasty, & an energy ball. My wife had the egg breakfast sandwich which was tasty & cheesy. They also have several bakery items which look very good. Service was nothing short of amazing! Will 100% visit again!
