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!

Lovely artsy café in a beautiful vibrant neighborhood. Great coffee (espresso) with Canelé & they also serve vermut & wine testing. Felt almost like in Barcelona vibe.
True vibe!!! Only con is that I'm leaving & won't be able to enjoy it. Hasta pronto! 🥂

Went for working & some matcha! It was delicious & the atmosphere is great. Very small but inviting, it has some british vibes (even though I've never been to the uk but that's the feeling :))!

Loved the vibes , loved the plants. They have a variety of cool products like sardines, olive oil, wine & stuff but damn I had a scone & I think there was mold in it. But I also had a chai & it was absolutely amazing. Also for anyone who care they have microbewery iPas & maybe neipas 9/10 would get moldy scone again if paired with their chai.
