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 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.
Ambiance magnifique, La décoration en mousse de café est vraiment jolie, & je préfère la pâtisserie au latte, surtout la Torsade, c'était vraiment délicieuse 😋
Nice cozy cafe! Almost hidden away downstairs but I enjoyed the ambiance. The staff were very welcoming & helpful. I ordered an iced matcha latte with some classic syrup. The sweetness was very well balanced with the matcha. Overall, a really nice experience.
This is my favourite café in downtown! They have excellent coffee, & the size of their cup is perfect for maintaining the hotness. Also, they can absolutely manage the foam! The atmosphere is elegant & cozy. As an Interior Designer I must add that they used the space very well to place different types of seating. I certainly recommend!

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!
