Kitchen Manager - Montreal

About us

We're excited to be regularly named one of the best Specialty Coffee companies in Canada, and we are proud of the company culture we have built since 2004 when we started as a small coffee roaster. In our five cafés in Vancouver and Montreal, we offer precisely crafted lattes and espressos, as well as a selection of exceptional doughnuts and savoury items. Authentic, hand-crafted and genuinely delicious, Lucky’s Doughnuts are made fresh throughout the day using the highest quality natural ingredients. Our bakers are up early, rolling out the dough and prepping each component. Everything is made fresh, from scratch, no exceptions. With the same focus and commitment to quality and ingredient sourcing as our coffee program, you can taste the difference in a Lucky's Doughnut! We also have a small savoury menu, which we will be expanding over the coming months.
