Anticafe Montreal- best place in Montreal to work, study or chill. Coffee shop concept upside-down. You only pay for the time you spend inside, everything else comes free! Coffee, large selection of tea, snaks, fruits and veggies, break, condiments, bowl of rice... Everything is free. You pay 4$ for the first hour, 2$ every hour after, maximum 12$ for the day. We take care of the rest. You get a great view of Place Des Arts square with endless festivals, concerts and events. We are 200 steps away from the metro Place Des Arts. This is a fantastic place for students to study, for self-employed to do some work, and for others to chill and enjoy a coffee or tea, while looking at Place Des Arts, or reading a book, playing chess or take a nap

One of the best places to study in downtown as a student. Such a great concept to have a decreasing price by the hour & unlimited coffee/tea & snacks. Amazing vibe inside as well.

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 😂

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.
