Paquebot Café draws praise for excellent coffee and a range of drinks, from standout matcha and a very smooth oat milk at the same price as regular milk to seasonal favourites like a Christmas latte and a lavender London Fog, plus pastries such as a chocolate biscuit that melts in the mouth. Reviewers describe warm, friendly service and a welcoming vibe in a small shop that is nice for working thanks to big tables and designated laptop spaces, natural light, and views of the mountains, though a few note that the furniture can be uncomfortable and hours could stay open later. No extra charges for dairy alternatives are often mentioned, and many call it one of the best coffee spots in the neighborhood with a constantly evolving menu and a sense of community that makes people want to return.
Wonderful coffee shop. Their christmas latte is wonderful, delicious & soothing. The vibes are immaculate & the staff is friendly & helpful. Would love to return again.

What a fantastic little coffee shop. The decor is really nice, the tables are nice & big. The coffee itself is fantastic & they've got so much interesting variety. The baked treats were also fantastic. Highly recommended, especially if you're cold after climbing Mont Royal.
Delicious cortados & friendly service, but honestly the furniture wasn't very comfortable. I understand that they don't want to create an oasis for people who buy a single coffee then stay five hours, but for those of us popping in for ten minutes it's not great.
This location has a completely different setup to the one downtown. Here there are more tanks for working the space is cozy so it's not good for business calls nor personal conversations. The coffee is just as good as the downtown location though. Here they even have a curry latte that I was curious about. They also don't charge for oat milk & make a real good dirty chai with made in house chai concentrate that is more on the watery, spiced side of flavor.
Had a couple hours to kill & decided to drop by for a coffee. I didn't want to leave! I knew once I saw the barista put on a vinyl that the vibe was going to be amazing! Great place to study, get some work done, or just hang with a friend. Will definitely be back!
Great atmosphere & service. Excellent coffees. Fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches. Close to Mont-Royal & parks. It's a nice spot to end up after an outing on the mountain or the park. Outdoor seating.
Pros: good coffee, interesting selection of coffee, meat looking place, good location. Cons: Coffee serving too small, customer service/attitude. The little guy seemed not very friendly or interactive. After paying six dollars for a latte I was surprised to get something more like a cappuccino. People arriving after me got served for me. Advice: it's easy to make good coffee, it's harder to please your customers. Baristas should always have a good attitude & be interactive with your customers, otherwise the coffee is not worth it.
Great coffee from Zab, always delicious. Lowering the score because of the No Laptop table. It's a coffee shop, I paid for the coffee, which is not cheap, & I can stay where i want, even with the hexed laptop. If coffee shops wish to limit extended stays & sell more there are other ways. instead of "No laptop" the card on the table could say "You're welcome to stay, but don't forget other people exist too", or something.
