This is my go-to cafe in my neighborhood & I always appreciate the top notch service from the barristas. It really makes all the difference, so much so that even if I have a coffee machine at home, I still love to make an excuse to go there. They put so much care into the sandwich & food preparation as well. Always looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing dirty chai lattes. Very small place, not ideal for sitting more than 2. Breakfast sandwiches are surprising delicious. Very expensive

Absolute gem of a place! Really cool & unique sundries such as tinned seafood & bottles of wine you can't find anywhere else. Get the cappuccino.

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!
