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

En théorie, le concept est intéressant (payer un tarif à l'heure pour profiter de l'endroit & avoir accès à volonté à leur cuisine) mais en pratique, expérience décevante & coûteuse. Il manquait de tout, brioche sèche & biscuits cheap secs...allez plutôt dans un bon café!!

Somewhere you feel extremely homey. Warm people & friendly staff who make coffee better than most cafes. Would have come here every week if I were not just visiting.

Crazy cool atmosphere! Had a long wait for just two coffees & a juice but the wait was worth it just to take in the decor.

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 😂

Cozy Cafe is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Montreal's festival scene. The warm & inviting atmosphere feels just like home, making it the perfect refuge when you're missing the comforts of home. 🏡 🫶🏻 The landlord, a lovely lady, adds a personal touch with her kindness. It's not just a cafe; it's a place where you find a sense of belonging amidst!☕️🫖

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).

Je vais là parfois & j'ai toujours eu une bonne expérience. Le prix est super abordable c'est un très bon endroit pour relaxer avec des amis, travailler avec son portable ou simplement pour lire un livre.

Superbe endroit atypique avec une belle déco des plantes vertes & de très bons plats !! Une amie m'a fait découvrir cette place & nous avons très bien mangé une soupe poulet nouille délicieuse & un curry avec poulet katsu très bon & pas trop épicé !! Pour finir des pancakes avec des fruits & une tisane mûres basilic menthe un régal !!!

Belle place pour étudier. Cela dit, ça vaut plus la peine d'y aller pour de longues heures à cause du fonctionnement de lanplace

a beautiful & cozy space! felt really productive working here today. really good selection of hot drinks, the london fog is amazing! a good selection of snacks (nuts, chips, cookies, popcorn) but I wish they would include something acidic, like sour candies, fruits or fruit juice!

The sweetest & most comfortable co-working I've been to. Will be my office in Montreal when I come. Thanks for the great welcome & atmosphere. BTW, the espresso is divine!

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.
