Review Summary

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.

this might seem like no big deal but this is the best bacon egg + cheese breakfast sandwich I've ever had 👌🙂

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!

Great atmosphere & friendly service. I loved the plants & the international theme. Salmon sandwich was good, though I found my cappuccino a little watery. Besides that I look forward to coming back.

Just moved in the hood so went in to try their regular plain filter coffee. Vibes were very mile-end hipster, very cozy so 4 star for the ambiance though very very small. Service was good but $4 for a regular filter coffee that taste exactly like mcdonalds $1 promo coffee (mcdo is just 2 mins away). Weird that I had to ask for cream (usually many cafes have thermos of milk/cream at some corner) & the cashier just pour milk in my coffee even though I asked specifically for cream. NOT GOING BACK.

If you haven't tried their homemade chocolate chip cookies, you're missing out on the tastiest cookie 😋. Love the cactuses display too

Coffee is amazing. I buy coffee from here at least twice a week. But stay away from the food. The croissant is quite bad. & other food items & are sub par too.

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.

Delicious coffee! Their treats come from the famous Automne bakery in Villeray, my favorite in the city. They also have an imported wine section.

This is the most adorable & delicious coffee place I've been to in Montreal. The pastries are delicious & the coffee is great. The staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. We are here for a week & I fully expect to go every single day.

Very cute little shop, reasonable prices. The coffee was good...not a generic flavor profile. Will return while I am in Montréal
