You can never go wrong with discovering a new café in Montreal, and it's about to be time to add 49th Parallel to your go-to list.

This will be the Vancouver-based coffee company's first location outside of British Columbia and it'll be found right in the heart of Old Montreal.

49th Parallel will be opening its doors on Friday, July 16 starting at 7 a.m. and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., they will be handing out free Beignes Lucky's to all customers.

Sounds like a pretty good reason to check out the spot if you ask me!

Plus, there will also be "coffee blends exclusive to the Old Montreal location, in addition to fan-favourite blends such as the Old School Espresso, Longitude 123°W Blend, and Organic French Roast" to try, so any coffee lover will be happy to take a trip over.

49th Parallel

When: Officially opens Friday, July 16

Address: 488, rue McGill, Montreal, QC
