Anticafé Montreal

Parizad

I recently discovered one of my favorite cafés in Montreal.

It has a cozy vintage atmosphere spread over two levels, making it the perfect place to catch up with friends, read a book, or get some remote work done. There are several separate rooms, so it's easy to find a quiet corner, & the view overlooking Place des Arts is a nice bonus.

What makes this place different is its pricing: you pay for the time you spend there, not for what you eat or drink. Tea, coffee, cookies, & snacks are self-serve with plenty of options, while a barista is available to prepare drinks like lattes & other specialty coffees.

They also have a huge collection of board games, making it a great spot for game nights, casual meetings, or simply spending a relaxing afternoon.

It's definitely worth a visit, & I can already tell it's going to become my go-to café.

Used to be a regular, but won't be returning. The staff's floor management is unprofessional & disrespectful to solo workers. I was'instructed' to move out of a quiet room with zero explanation, only to see a group (who clearly didn't have a prior booking) rushed into the space immediately after. I was displaced to a loud, unusable area just because a larger group arrived. If you're looking for a guaranteed place to focus, go elsewhere-this place prioritizes the loudest group over paying individual customers.

I come here a bit too frequently ahaha. The place is amazing, the price & quality of food & snacks matches well. Whenever I go to the place, the staffs change but I became friends with a few of them they're very very friendly🥰 The environment is very quiet & chill too, it's a great place to focus & do my work. Will keep visiting:)

Gem of montreal for students . Pros: Free serve on snacks , unlimited coffee (you pay the hours not the consumption) , chill & laid back environment (i was walking around with my socks) , nice quiet room for yourself or a group. I believe there's wifi but i cant recall . People are such a vibe there , its a perfect squat for group of friend trying to hang out everywhere but outside. It genuinely feels like a proper home with the kitchen that is at your service, you can wear slippers provided by them etc etc. every little details feels like a 24/7 house! Cons: too busy . I mean if its good its known 😂

What a great spot, highly recommended for group activities since you can have a private space, or if you want to have a quiet place to work. Service was great, & the concept is awesome (pay for the time, get everything else for free).

I love this place! It's a safe heaven for those who want to study or read a book in a quiet environment, it can also do for those who want to work away from home. There many rooms that you can use. It's chargable per hour up to 20$ max with unlimited coffee & snacks. The place is mostly busy with students, so no kids are allowed in.
