Café Shaughnessy is an independent coffee shop located in Shaughnessy Village, downtown Montreal. We serve specialty direct trade coffee and home baked goods in a laid-back atmosphere.
Shaughnessy Café comes across as a cozy basement spot with a stylish vibe and attentive service, where reviewers praise strong coffee, well made pastries, and an inviting atmosphere that suits work or a relaxed visit. The space is described as cleverly designed with varied seating options and an elegant yet cozy ambience that fits a downtown neighborhood profile. The experience is generally positive for the coffee, pastries, and friendly staff, with some notes about occasional pastry freshness issues or slow cold brew service and a sense that some items may be pricey, but overall the cafe is regarded as worth a visit and even offers wine nights that add social appeal.
Dropped by this coffee shoppe in mid-morning on a Saturday. Great music & staff. The viennoiseries are from local bakeries-& are delicious. This coffee shoppe has been here for 8 years (circa 2016). Wishing the people behind this nice place another 8 years-& more!
Just moved in the hood so went in to try their regular plain filter coffee. Vibes were very mile-end hipster, very cozy so 4 star for the ambiance though very very small. Service was good but $4 for a regular filter coffee that taste exactly like mcdonalds $1 promo coffee (mcdo is just 2 mins away). Weird that I had to ask for cream (usually many cafes have thermos of milk/cream at some corner) & the cashier just pour milk in my coffee even though I asked specifically for cream. NOT GOING BACK.
Coffee is amazing. I buy coffee from here at least twice a week. But stay away from the food. The croissant is quite bad. & other food items & are sub par too.
This is the most adorable & delicious coffee place I've been to in Montreal. The pastries are delicious & the coffee is great. The staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. We are here for a week & I fully expect to go every single day.
Service was the one lacking. Maybe it was due to being a Saturday morning. You know. On weekends we should be thankful they're coming in to take our money. Coffee was far from ideal but for Montreal standards I think it is at least above average.
I like this special cafe,& some outside seats let us take a pleasure coffee time in the afternoon.the atmosphere is very nice,as with wonderful music & warm service.highly recommend！
Delicious filter coffee black is a dream come true at this cafe. The breakfast sandwich & pastries made our daily stop at this heavenly oasis all the more enjoyable. Thank you to the friendly folks working here for the kind service & great music. 10/10
