Reviews describe Paquebot Café as a neighborhood gem with friendly staff, a cozy inviting space, and a relaxed vibe that suits work, study, or catching up with friends. The coffee program gets frequent praise for balance and quality, with oat milk as the default, well made lattes and a notably enjoyable iced latte and other specialties like nitro cold brew, and some mention of a particularly reliable espresso. The food and pastries are highlighted too, including substantial cookies, a standout grilled cheese, and homemade items like a breakfast burrito with salsa; some note the prices are a bit high for the food. The atmosphere features careful vinyl selections and a music level that provides ambiance without being loud, and seating arrangements that include communal tables and benches though comfort for long stays varies. Service is consistently described as warm, attentive, and helpful with recommendations, making guests feel at home and eager to return. Overall Paquebot Café is seen as a go to option in the area for quality drinks, friendly service, and a welcoming, versatile space.
I just love this neighborly third wave coffee shop. They have communal tables, benches & stools depending on your mood & needs, though they're often quite busy. Food is delicious. I highly recommended the breakfast burrito with homemade salsa. My flat white always comes out perfectly & just as hot as it should be. Unfortunately, for some reason last time I went hot sandwiches were not available 🙁
Very friendly owner & staff. Excellent variety of coffee & various eats. I'm absolutely inclined to return despite I'm just visiting the Montreal area for a short time.
I recommend you try (the vegan patty), made in-house sandwich, very delish.
Solid coffee, good service, friendly staff, & a welcoming atmosphere. That said, the seating is stiff, the tables awkward, & overall it's not suited for long stays. Come for the brew, not the comfort.
My usual coffee shop stop when I run!
Their POS system wasn't working but Matteo trusted me with me coming back to pay my bill! Very nice hospitality as usual, & best grilled cheese❤? Thank you

Passed by to try the coffee at this branch. I really love it at the old port. The coffee is still good but a bit different. Different vibes from the old port but decorated nicely.
Visited Paquebot recently & had a mixed experience. The coffee was okay, though I've had better on previous visits. The service could definitely use some improvement - the staff seemed a bit inattentive this time. However, the atmosphere remains one of its strongest points: nice, calm, & cozy. It's a great place to relax or catch up on some work. Hoping for better service next time!
Great coffee , actually best coffee I'm my area, their limonade coffee is awesome. Only issue ,their tables are big but uncomfortable & so are the seats.
The perfect coffee shop experience. Large work tables, delicious coffee, excellent service & a beautifully made latte. They have breakfast sandwich items & pastries hat are different from other cookie-cutter cafes. I bought a bag of beans to take the taste home. The perfect local cafe. I can't wait to try the Plateau location.
Absolutely love this spot & can't tell people enough to check it out. The vibe is always on point, food is delicious & the coffee is by far my favorite ever, just YUM!
