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.
Ambiance magnifique, La décoration en mousse de café est vraiment jolie, & je préfère la pâtisserie au latte, surtout la Torsade, c'était vraiment délicieuse 😋
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.

I went for their wine bar evening & it was a good experience. Good wine, delicious tapas-style menu, & attentive service. Alex the server was excellent!
Excited to try this cafe since it's one of the best rated cafe in the area! Very cute interior deco, with an above-average latte for Montreal standard. Very poor customer service however. The lady that took my order & made my drink was cold & not friendly at all, left a bitter taste especially for a first timer. Visited Sat Aug 17th 12:35pm.
Apart from the spider web I was sitting next to, the place is super cozy & cute. I particularly like the big window lined up with plants. They also make the best chai latter I've ever had in MTL with the cute latte art at the top! Also, super convenient location & access through two doors one each side of the café.

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!
J'habite juste en face, les lattes, matcha ainsi que le sandwich déjeuner sont excellent! Le café est vraiment très bon, nous pouvons même l'acheter pour la maison. Le service est toujours courtois, je suis toujours émerveillée par vos dessins avec la mousse de lait!
