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.
Barista was very kind in suggesting different lattes based off my preferences & the whole staff seemed to try to have fun while working. Latte was smooth & quite sweet. Overall nice environment.
Really cool coffee place. We had coffee & pastries. Both were delicious. They have an upper room that oversees the kitchen, really pleasant. Would happily visit again.
Such a cozy cafe & so many fun baked goods! I tried the matcha sesame cookie, & it was not too sweet & had great flavor. It wasn't super cookie-like & felt more like a dense biscuit? I would definitely be back to try their other options in the future!

J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance de ce café, je vais régulièrement à celui du Vieux Mtl ou du quartier Beaubien. Leurs cafés sont vraiment bons, je prends toujours un moca ou un matcha. Il faut également mentionner leur cookie absolument DIVIN!! Selon moi, le meilleur cookie montréalais, bien épais & fondant. De plus, le personnel est adorable. J'ai aussi acheté leur thermos qui est très mignon & bien pratique.
Decent cappuccino & London Fog. Had a classique grilled cheese sandwich as well which was pretty tasty. Ambience is great, but its a pretty small cafe so not much place to sit.
Food is is too normal for the price. Service is good. There is a place to sit & try don concentrate but the staff is really noisy. This contradictory, they invite you to stay but bombard with reasons to leave
Go for: Cute, quirky, & welcoming. You'll have cravings for that kimchi grilled cheese for weeks afterwards. Avoid if: You're looking for quick coffees & bites to go. Something surprising: Enjoy your coffee or your meal in the cozy nook under the stairs. It's great. Reservation needed? No, it's a coffee shop Overall Experience: 4/5. Try the Queen Elizabeth cake, even if you don't like coconut very much. Trust me. Value for Price: 4 Sanitation: 4 Food Quality: 4 Menu Precision: 4 Service Quality: 4 Timing: 3 Decor: 3 Access: 3 - 5 among the best 4 strong 3 not too bad 2 mediocre 1 never again

Quaint little place for great coffee with nice music being played on a vinyl record. My latte tasted great & the service was friendly. This place has a bit of space to sit at the mezzanine level with a power socket.
