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!

Excellent (albeit super tiny) cappuccino. However, the almond croissant was the worst ever croissant created. Soggy, no taste of almonds, no difference between crust & filling....& all this after asking if the croissant was fresh... I don't want to imagine what was a not fresh croissant.
With that, the salmon sandwich that my spouse had was great. Her espresso was also very good.

I've been this place a few times to buy beans & they have great selection. However recently I ordered a cold brew & waited 8 people in front of me. Cold brew should be premade & super fast. But I waited, I thought barista is taking time to make it. But it turned out that they missed. No serious apologies. Very dispointed. Would want to sit down & enjoy the coffee but didn't have any mood anymore. Bye

Absolutely lovely experience! The barista was so helpful & chatty about coffee & even went out of their way to make us drinks even though we had come by during evening service.
Drinks were amazing & they had a stunning spread of retail bags from roasters that are otherwise hard to find. Can't wait to come back! ☺?
