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.
Love the tranquil & relaxed atmosphere. If you are searching for a chill place to work, read or network, this is the place to be. The mezzanine offers tons of electrical plugs & several seating options (although admittedly the seating may not be well suited for hard core studying(.
Wish we had better experience in comparison to the other reviews I've seen. We stopped in yesterday for a mid day pick me up & ordered a flat white & mocha & unfortunately both tasted very bitter. Otherwise, the cafe is two levels with some seating upstairs that looked really cute.
Definitely one of the best coffee shops in old Montreal. Service is always with a smile, & it's a great little stop off on your way to exploring Old Port.

Un cookie à se taper les fesses par terre 😍 il est croustillant à l'extérieur & moelleux à l'intérieur. Une vraie pépite 🤤 l'ambiance & la déco sont sympa
I visited this coffee shop four times during a week stay in old Montreal. The coffee (I got flat whites) was consistently very good. The service was always friendly. They serve oat milk as a default (though regular milk is also an option) at no extra charge. I very much appreciate their effort in helping us all shift towards more sustainable choices by making them both affordable & delicious. Good looking pastries too!
Mon Café préféré à Montréal: le café est délicieux, les pâtisseries aussi & les choix de plats salés sont originaux & changent régulièrement. La musique est joué au vinyl, le lieu est cosy & les équipes sont adorables

Par milk cappuccino was sweet & smooth. The grilled cheese sandwich was really good too, it's a very small space but it's got a nice warm vibe. The staff was very kind!
J'y ai mangé le pire sandwich de ma vie, moi qui adore le seitan. En plus, c'était assez dispendieux. C'est dommage. Le café était bon au moins. L'atmosphère était bruyant... La musique était forte & l'employé n'arrêtait pas de crier. Bref, ce n'est pas un endroit pour travailler. J'ai été réellement déçue.
Super cute place! The workers are all very nice & can give good tips for anyone who's new to the area. There's a nice little space upstairs in the loft to do work too.
