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.
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… 👍👍👍
I ordered a cold brew & it tasted like tomato juice. Got oat milk so it was a little more expensive but I literally spent 7$ on it & couldn't take more than 2 sips. Really cute atmosphere & nice staff tho
Le café est très bon & l'accueil est chaleureux. Les filles présentes sont toujours souriantes & très gentilles. Un bon choix de collations & des bonnes pâtisseries.
truly wonderful coffee & baked goods, everything seems artistically made & priced. friendly atmosphere & a variety of comfortable seating options. a gem in the neighbourhood.
Mon adresse coup de coeur en tout temps. Le staff est accueillant & amical, le café toujours délicieux, super sandwich déjeuner & les viennoiseries d'Automne Boulangerie sont impeccables (il me faut le muffin choco-bananes à toutes les semaines!). Belle variété de vins & de cidres disponibles pour emporter. À essayer aussi les jeudis & vendredis avant ou après un film au Forum : leur buvette. De merveilleuses entrées à partager & des vins sublimes.

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 :))!
Dropped by this coffee shoppe in mid-morning on a Saturday. Great music & staff. The viennoiseries are from local bakeries-& are delicious. This coffee shoppe has been here for 8 years (circa 2016). Wishing the people behind this nice place another 8 years-& more!
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.
Petit café de quartier pour se poser ou travailler un peu. Bon expresso , latté a mon goût. Quelques viennoiseries.. Servit avec le sourire 😃 Pas de paiement.
