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.
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.
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!
