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.
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*!)
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!

It's a nice comfortable Cafe that feels tucked away from the hustle & bustle of the city, but at the same time, it is only 1 block away from all necessary amenities. Subway station, mall, movie theater, etc.
This results in a very convenient location, providing people with a great balance of environment.
Great coffe place. Have a nice range of coffee & coffee accessories they sell online & in-store. They keep only top end micro torréfacteur. Mostly medium to light roast. But very well made, not overly acid the texture is not very syrupy most likely due the kind of beans used. Would go again & great place to buy high end filters.
