49th Parallel Cafe

My go to cafe in downtown Montreal. Their donuts are too good. I have tried their tiramisu and I don’t regret having sugars lol

Overpriced coffee for a not very good coffee, if you like to enjoy a cafe with nice interior this is an okay place but however the coffee is not the best some of the baristas here lack skills and they might mess up your latte art so if you’re looking for a cute social media picture you may want to consider your options it was a hit or miss for me a few times I went there and every time I ordered a coffee was either the prettiest latte art or the most terrible looking like a drawing from a 6 year old, ambiance and presentation is very important for a $7 coffee (small) and after I mentioned this to the barista she told me to “just think of it as abstract art” and didn’t even offer to redo it, especially in the area of old port you can find so many great cafes with great coffees and aesthetically appealing, this place is more like a donut house where you can also get coffee with it so more like a fancy overpriced Krispy Kreme.very disappointed in the presentation and the attitude

Ordered a mocha and donut (traditional vanilla). Both were good. The environment was cozy. Nice place for grabbing a coffee

I like the ambient and donuts here. They are fresh and melting in the mouth. And also the variety of donuts cover all tastes. The only thing is the glazes covering the donuts are too sweet to be handled without dark coffee or tea!

I always get piccolo. It’s good. I wish tho, that they carried the Middle School beans. Kind of disappointed if they use those beans but don’t sell them.

While in Montréal, I walked by this place a few times and each time it was really busy. I looked up reviews and decided I should give it a try for breakfast one day. Showed up on a Saturday morning before heading to the airport and it was the perfect choice.
Their breakfast sandwich options were great (my husband got the Avo) - fresh ingredients and really nice brioche bun. The donuts and coffee were. I always look for vegan/vegetarian baked goods and was super surprised that most of the donut choices came in both a veg and a regular option. I got the veg chocolate matcha and it was so good! The chocolate cake of the donut was a rich, dark decadent bite. Also, as a vegetarian, I liked that they offer all types of milk in cold thermoses to customize your coffee - no paying additional for almond milk (hurray!). I had a lovely cup of coffee with my donut (combo is $6.50canadian) and left very, very happy. Highly recommended this establishment if you find yourself in the convention center area of Montréal.

Some of the best coffee around. If you enjoy their coffees I recommend checking their website where you can order coffee beans. The donuts are made at the cafe so they are always fresh. Some of the options are very decadent, others more traditional. Plenty of space and nice atmosphere.

It’s a very nice to place to meet up a friend or just grab a hot coco for stay. But it’s always full, so you might need to be patient for finding a seat.:)

Very good coffee and welcoming staff! We were served by Woofie (I’m probably butchering their name) who provided us with excellent service

Really good doughnuts and great hot drinks. They make the doughnuts in the back so if you get here early enough, you'll enjoy a fresh out of the oven, still warm treat

Amazing space, lots of seating options, great vibe. My mocha was good and they had a lot of doughnuts to choose from. No gluten free options at the moment unfortunately.

Tout une équipe d'accueil et de préparation du café parfait (intensité, température et formats disponibles). Très raisonnable comme tarifs. Les beignes sont incroyables. Détour ou arrêt qui va améliorer votre journée à coup sûr.

I'm a coffee addict and honestly I have been disappointed in so many different cafes in Montreal. But this one, I am proud to say that I am a regular. Best cappuccino ever! + the kindest staffs

This coffee shop is a must try for anyone looking for a beautiful coffee spot that also serves amazingly different doughnuts! Good for a study spot during the day or even to take yourself out for coffee. Definitely recommend!

This has become one of my favourite coffee places in Montréal. I love the vibe and the mocha is absolutely delicious! They’ve got a wide variety of dessert/pastries too. Perfect spot to work from as well.

When an Americano makes you go wow and the donut selection and taste are superb. I am a tough crowd for coffee places, even the layout and decor of the place are well done. Great place all around.

I love the coffees here! Any time I'm working from the office it's a treat to come here! Also the donuts are delish.

Superbe endroit pour discuter entre collègues, ambiance réconfortante, excellent café et les beignes sont succulents!

Very Nice Cozy place, minimalist style with great service, good home made bakery, I recommend the donughs comfortable and affordable coffee shop for students.good variety of choices for coffee lovers. They also have wifi available

Café quand même moderne! Une variété de beignes et viennoiseries! Il aurait été bien qu’il y ait plus de choix salés à part les sandwichs.sur le menu il est indiqué qu’il y a des scones, mais il y en avait aucun lors de mon passage.

Rien n'indique que le café etait rempli de Canelle, et personne ne m'a averti/demandé si je voulais en avoir dedans.
Ideal pour commencer la journée avec un gout affreux la bouche

Great place to have a meeting and study. Their donuts are huge and delicious. I would love to have another one right now!

Found this place randomly driving around downtown.

This place was so busy when we first got in, but later calmed down as the closing time was approaching. Nice ambiance and decor, absolutely loved it.

Their wall art is very instagrammable, it made me wanted to look at it while im drinking my coffee. I haven’t had any bakery, but there was a lot of people ordering their sweets that looked very yummy.

Worth your visit!

Great coffee, the service is always super friendly. The Donuts are expensive, but really good!
They have wifi if you want to work there. There's also a lot of sitting places.

A great place to have a coffee n donut, beautiful with friendly staff. However it’s not recommended for study on laptops, since you cannot find a place to charge your laptop ;)

Venezuelan coffee oh my God? My best recommendation for you. Don't die without tasting that coffee. So special. I love it. My favorite place from now and on.

I really want to like this café, but its just too expensive, 48.00$ for a dzn donuts? And the coffee is the same blend for everything you order.

My first time entering this New York styled interior. The variety of donuts was welcomed as well as being quite appreciated. A friend swears by their scones which are scraped up very early in the day. I unfortunateIy did not enjoy my coffee which was too bitter and sour for my taste.

Great coffee, delicious doughnuts freshly made on the spot, bright and spacious atmosphere. What more do you want?
There is ample seating in the front and back of the cafe.
Staff was very nice and approachable. Would definitely go back for more coffee and doughnuts! Must stop if you’re in old Montreal

Probably the best doughnuts in town. Good coffee. But the service is horrid. You can’t choose in delivery, if you give preferences they put the opposite in the box. At the very least writing what the doughnuts are with a pen seems easy enough. Nope.

Asked for an iced americano and paid $6 for it. It tasted burned and an employee told me that's just the taste of their beans. The doughnuts are dry.
So many other good coffee shops around that area!

Good coffee but terrible service. Took 15 minutes to get a filter coffee in a pretty empty place. I had to remind them.

Nice comfy spot in the perhaps not so comfy old port. Great coffee and really great lil sandwiches ou and dog friendly ~ they got a jar of treats in the back. There's nice outdoor seating too

Vraiment un bel endroit sympathique et au goût du temps.
Ces maintenant là Place à Montréal

Very good coffee. We ordered a piccolo with oat milk and a macchiato.and a passion fruit donut.

Coffee so good it convinced me to purchase an espresso machine. Americano and latte were expertly prepared, and tasted full bodied and perfectly extracted. Their pistachio donut was also delicious and a great pairing for the coffee. 10/10 would drink again.

Very cute place and the donuts are oh so yummy. Stop by for a coffee date or to get your work done in a great atmosphere.

Great coffee & delicious donuts! Large variety of areas to sit as it’s spacious. Really great location as well. Can’t wait for the Monkland location to open. 10/10

I loved the place. The service, the coffee, the vibe, everything was excellent. And most importantly I loved the coffee

Came by near end of the day (maybe an hour or two before close) a week or two ago. I'm from Vancouver so I'm pretty familiar with the brand already, I got my partner and I a doughnut each and they both were fantastic which I'm happy that it's still so good even on the other side of Canada. Service was great too! Super friendly guy at till. Will be back!

Meh. Staff at the register were rude and pretentious and the donuts were overpriced. Coffee was decent but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere

Not bad. Good coffee; doughnuts would be tasty but they're a bit dry and don't taste very fresh in the morning.
They have a sandwhich menu but don't actually have them available (why not take down the menu? It's just a piece of paper).
FIY they have this weird system where they bring the doughnuts to your table but they don't bring the coffee to you. You wait and wait, and then they tell you that you were supposed to grab it after-the-fact.

Great coffee at 49th parallel, and Lucky’s Donuts - amazing. The pistachio donut is delish, worth the calories.
