Roadtrip Out of Montréal — Explore Beyond
A guide to great café stops when you hit the road toward Laurentides, Estrie, or Lanaudière. Photo by @allizzieus
Sometimes Montréal needs a weekend off — and the regions just outside the city are some of the best in Québec for a quick escape. Whether you're heading north on Highway 15 toward the Laurentides, east on Highway 20 into Estrie, or northeast on Highway 40 through Lanaudière, the drive itself is half the adventure.
But every good roadtrip needs a great coffee stop. This guide highlights cafés worth pulling over for — cozy spots in small towns, local roasters tucked along the route, and places that make your detour feel intentional. Each one is chosen to turn a pit stop into a small discovery.
