About

Anticafé Montreal operates as a communal space where patrons pay for time rather than individual items. The environment features a self-service model offering an assortment of unlimited hot beverages, light snacks, and freshly baked pastries. Visitors utilize the various workstations, lounge seating, and shared tables to facilitate productivity or leisure activities throughout the day. This concept prioritizes accessibility, allowing guests to interact with a rotating selection of artisanal treats and coffee options while maintaining a focus on a fluid, non-traditional hospitality experience. The interior design emphasizes a relaxed atmosphere conducive to focused tasks or casual social engagement within a functional layout. Standard amenities support a high level of utility for those seeking a quiet environment to consume refreshments while working or connecting with others in a modern setting.

Review Summary

Anticafé Montreal offers a unique and highly affordable concept where visitors pay for their time rather than individual items, enjoying access to unlimited coffee, tea, and snacks in a charming, quirkily decorated environment. While many patrons appreciate the cozy, vibrant atmosphere and find it to be a fantastic alternative space for coworking, studying, or socializing, others point out significant drawbacks including limited personal space, noise levels that can hinder productivity, and concerns regarding cleanliness, air quality, and the quality of food options. The staff generally receives praise for being friendly and helpful, though language barriers and inconsistent service have been noted. Ultimately, the space is frequently described as a creative and welcoming environment that serves as an excellent spot for short sessions, even if some visitors find it less ideal for long periods of intense, quiet work.

The second floor has mice, the food is Dollarama chip/cookies, the place is overall dirty. They expect us to clean our own plates & silverware & on top of that they make us pay 🤣... The girl with the nose piercing brings all her friends & they are loud & annoying around people who try to work & study. Unprofessional & not worth it. Farewell 👋

Le barista nous a accueilli en anglais alors que nous l'avions tous salués en français. Il dit qu'il parle français mais quand il baragouine des explications on ne comprend absolument rien. C'est comme s'il répétait une formule par coeur sans en comprendre le sens. Nous étions incrédules car nous avions l'impression d'entendre un language extraterrestre. Il était gentil, mais pourquoi avoir une personne qui ne parle pas la langue officielle au service à la clientèle….

Wow, juste wow! L'ambiance est très chill & le concept est vraiment intéressant: on paye a l'heure, café & snacks a volonté! & c'est super raisonnable comme tarif. Vraiment une belle place.

We had a bad experience here. I brought a large writing group here & encountered a staff who was off-putting, hostile, & made several of our members uncomfortable. I had to accompany one to the kitchen because she felt uncomfortable with him around. When it was time to pay, he overcharged the price. Then, he attempted to provide a lower amount to refund.

It's an interesting concept & the drinks were not bad, but I will never come back again.

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.

Cet endroit est spirituellement dérangeant. Si vous tenez à préserver votre lumière que vous soyez en Jésus Christ ou pas, n'y allez pas. Ou si vous le découvrez hasardeusement, ressortez direct. Je n'ai aucun problème avec le personnel de l'endroit & d'ailleurs ils devraient démissionner. Il y'a des choses dans la vie qu'il ne faut simplement pas faire, voir ou découvrir. À bon entendeur…

Very, very, VERY cute spot, & no shortage of places to sit or outlets. However people like to come here to have loud conservations it seems, so not the ideal space to work/study unfortunately.
