Review Summary

Shaughnessy Café is described as a cozy small neighborhood spot with very good coffee and pastries and a friendly dedicated staff led by the owner. The vibe is relaxed and conducive to work or casual lounging, with conversations praising the latte art, chai lattes, and a wide bean selection alongside tasty breakfast sandwiches. Patrons note that the pastries are frequently fresh and well made, often sourced from local bakeries, and the menu includes a varied range of drinks from cappuccinos to iced lattes with oat milk and even wine or vermouth nights. Some reviews mention it can feel tight for seating and a few menu items or service hiccups can disappoint, such as a soggy almond croissant or a missed cold brew, but overall the experience remains highly positive with consistent quality, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Their croissants are incredibly delicious. I really love the ambiance. I love their coffee too. Everything is perfect & there is a reason this cafe is well known.

A lovely, cozy, hipster coffee spot - & not just coffee!
Great music, delicious coffee & pastries, friendly staff.
We stopped by one summer evening while in the area, & the wine with tapas was a really great experience.

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!
