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.

I liked this cafe. There was a good selection of pastries & drinks, it seemed to be a good place to study judging from the number of people doing it. The service was really good & I enjoyed my London fog. The tables could have been a little cleaner but other than that it was good.

Located next to the Forum & is in the basement floor. Although its easy to spot because of the big board. The interiors are done really nice. On a warm sunny day you can sit outside or you can sit & enjoy a book inside. We has a Croissant 🥐, Chocolatine, & 2 coffee. Total cam about ~ $18. The bakers item were fresh & coffee crisp. Surely recommend

The ideal cafe in Montreal - I'd strongly recommend it to all! I love the incentive to bring reusable cups to receive a discount (encourage zero waste behavior*!)

Really cute place with great coffee. Can recommend the chia pudding. Perfect place to hide from the snow.

Great ambience. Service was great. Music is a bit loud but it was a great play list so I didn't mind too much.

Amazing espresso. Most unique tasting beans I’ve had so far. Great minimalist atmosphere. Selection of local wine available for purchase too. Baristas are kind. Usually busy with students, & since the place is smaller, only accommodates a few. Don’t let that deter you from coming to get a cup on the go!
