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 is repeatedly described as a cozy, trendy spot with a warm, friendly staff and a welcoming vibe that makes it feel like a neighborhood favorite. The coffee program receives high praise for strong, aromatic brews, excellent lattes including oat milk options, and a large variety of beans, with some noting the cappuccino and chai lattes as standout. Pastries and light bites are frequently highlighted as fresh and delicious, while sandwiches and breakfast items are tasty, though a few reviews mention a croissant that fell short and occasional wait times or limited seating due to the small space. The ambiance is often called artsy and comfortable, with music, good lighting, and a productive or relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular spot for work, study, or casual visits. Wine nights and a diverse beverage selection beyond coffee add to the appeal, while the overall sentiment remains highly positive and people look forward to returning, citing consistent service, a charming neighborhood vibe, and the feeling of being well taken care of.
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.
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! 🥂
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.
Okay you're in downtown Montreal so it's hipster-ville, but then that's coffee culture for you. You know that going in…
But the staff rock - girl with the heron tattoo, I'm in love 😇 I'll be looking for the artist!
The London Fog was spot-on, the BEC muffin was perfect, a smooth start to a busy Saturday morning… & a great welcome to the neighborhood. It reminded me of the long-defunct Jean-Pierre's bakery in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, TX…
I'll be back soon & hope to make a wine evening… 👍👍👍
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.

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!
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!
Amazing espresso. Most unique tasting beans I’ve had so far. Great minimalist atmosphere. Selection of local wine available for purchase too. Baristas are kind. Usually busy with students, & since the place is smaller, only accommodates a few. Don’t let that deter you from coming to get a cup on the go!
