Nice cozy cafe! Almost hidden away downstairs but I enjoyed the ambiance. The staff were very welcoming & helpful. I ordered an iced matcha latte with some classic syrup. The sweetness was very well balanced with the matcha. Overall, a really nice experience.

This is my favourite café in downtown! They have excellent coffee, & the size of their cup is perfect for maintaining the hotness. Also, they can absolutely manage the foam! The atmosphere is elegant & cozy. As an Interior Designer I must add that they used the space very well to place different types of seating. I certainly recommend!

A lovely, cozy, hipster coffee spot - & not just coffee!
Great music, delicious coffee & pastries, friendly staff.
We stopped by one summer evening while in the area, & the wine with tapas was a really great experience.

I checked out a really interesting place-Shaughnessy Café at 1455 Rue Lambert-Closse, Montreal, Quebec H3H 1Z5!
This is a super cozy café, tucked away in the basement. It has lots of tables, & while it's not huge, it creates a really cool, productive vibe. It's popular with people who come to work, study, & just hang out.
As for the main event, the pastries here are absolutely top-notch! 🥐 They are always fresh & so delicious-you have to try them. The coffee is amazing: strong, aromatic, & perfectly roasted. It's the perfect boost of energy! ☕
The staff is super friendly & always happy to help. 😊
It's an excellent place that I happily recommend to everyone!

Nice, hip cafe. Ordered a decaf americano & it was very nice. Also a good place to work, read, met, whatever. The place is small but it feels cozy. A bit underground & they have indoor & small patio seating. They have wine nights in Fridays, except, literally the one Friday I wanted to take my friends to was closed. Very disappointing.
