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.

Delicious coffee! Their treats come from the famous Automne bakery in Villeray, my favorite in the city. They also have an imported wine section.

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.

Very cute little shop, reasonable prices. The coffee was good...not a generic flavor profile. Will return while I am in Montréal

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.

Cappuccino made correctly, not a huge cup full of hot milk; perfect proportions of coffee, milk & foam. Pastries were great too.

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

I've been coming to Shaughnessy for a few years now & I still think it's the best coffee shop around. The coffee is excellent & their Chai latte & London fog are the best I've had in the area by a mile. They have a big selection of pastries (always fresh & damn good) as well as food options (their breakfast sandwich, can be made w/o meat, is SO good & so is their chia pudding). The space is welcoming, has a great vibe, good music & is well set up for meeting up with friends or studying. The staff is dope & they have an amazing selection of beans, natural wines & coffee paraphernalia. Highly recommend!

Located next to the Forum & is in the basement floor. Although its easy to spot because of the big board. The interiors are done really nice. On a warm sunny day you can sit outside or you can sit & enjoy a book inside. We has a Croissant 🥐, Chocolatine, & 2 coffee. Total cam about ~ $18. The bakers item were fresh & coffee crisp. Surely recommend
