"Whether you need a classic hot coffee eye opener, want a refreshing cold coffee drink or are game for sampling their popular nitro cold brew, you will be served well at Café Paquebot. Even if the place is full, the owners will find you a spot where you can try their tasty breakfasts." - Alto Design
"This was the first café to serve nitro cold brew in Montreal, and the third-wave coffee destination also specializes in non-alcoholic coffee cocktails. On the menu: panini, viennoiseries, and some vegetarian options. There are two more Paquebots to choose from: one in the former Plume Café in Mile End (also a decent work option, if a little smaller), and another attractive spot in Old Montreal." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff
"Paquebot was the first coffee shop to serve nitro cold brew in Montreal. Since then, it took its wares to Old Montreal shortly after taking over Mile End’s Café Plume." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff

10 Best Coffee Spots in Montreal | Condé Nast Traveler
"With lush greenery, an array of record jackets and retro accessories doubling as decor, and the long, library-style tables, this cafe just east of Little Italy will make you want to stay a while. Fun fact: this was the first coffee shop in Montreal to serve up nitro cold brew and coffee lemonade fizz—exactly what it sounds like—on tap. The solid breakfast and lunch options, chocolate chip cookies, and muffins—not to mention vegan-friendly treats—make it hard to leave." - Karin Eldor
I just love this neighborly third wave coffee shop. They have communal tables, benches and stools depending on your mood and needs, though they're often quite busy. Food is delicious. I highly recommended the breakfast burrito with homemade salsa. My flat white always comes out perfectly and just as hot as it should be. Unfortunately, for some reason last time I went hot sandwiches were not available 🙁

Visited Paquebot recently and had a mixed experience. The coffee was okay, though I’ve had better on previous visits. The service could definitely use some improvement – the staff seemed a bit inattentive this time. However, the atmosphere remains one of its strongest points: nice, calm, and cozy. It’s a great place to relax or catch up on some work. Hoping for better service next time!

Really nice cafe. One of the best locations of the chain. Clean, friendly, and good quality taste. Also the place is a decent size. There is a space for open seating and conversation. Two big tables for working. And some outdoor patio seating as well. I tried their curry latte which was a bit sweet and slightly spiced, not overwhelming. It was OK. Good to experience but won't make it my regular drink. I just like their Americanos and regular lattes.

Must try all signature drinks! Surprisingly cool! Cozy indoors with cute chairs and spacious terrace outside.
They offer different types of milk for all drinks and a very warm welcome!
Hidden charm of Bélanger!

The perfect coffee shop experience. Large work tables, delicious coffee, excellent service and a beautifully made latte. They have breakfast sandwich items and pastries hat are different from other cookie-cutter cafes. I bought a bag of beans to take the taste home. The perfect local cafe. I can’t wait to try the Plateau location.

Very friendly owner and staff. Excellent variety of coffee and various eats. I'm absolutely inclined to return despite I'm just visiting the Montreal area for a short time.
I recommend you try (the vegan patty), made in-house sandwich, very delish.
Cold beverages are also available.

Passed by to try the coffee at this branch. I really love it at the old port. The coffee is still good but a bit different. Different vibes from the old port but decorated nicely.

Delicious flat white and good cookies, it’s cozy and nice vibes, not suited for long hours the chairs/tables are narrow and uncomfortable
