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.

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.

I was in Montreal for a month & the Anticafe was my co-working space for all of that time. It took me a while decide if it was a cafe masquerading as a co-working space or a co-working space masquerading as a cafe but in the end it doesn't rate well as a cafe (for me at least) but it is pretty awesome as a co-working space. It is missing things from more regular co-working spaces like phone booths & lockets but it has a nice vibe, the staff are great & the art decorating the walls is fun & quirky.

Oh... Tea, (barista) coffee & snacks are included in their curious pay for the time you're there scheme. & if you're there all day it is VERY affordable.

La décos y est ADORABLE & l'ambiance me rappelle vraiment les maisons de nos grand-mamans. Le concept des salles privées fait changement & permet une plus grande intimité lorsqu'on travaille ou discute. Par contre, bien que vous pouvez commander des boissons à volonté & vous servir des petits snacks autant que vous voulez, je trouve que 14,50$ pour deux heures c'est légèrement élevé. Ça ne rentabilise pas vraiment mon unique consommation... Overall, un bon spot pour faire changement des cafés classiques pour étudier, mais un peu cher.

This place is so unique. You can just focus on your work & not worry about how hungry you get because you can have as much snacks & drinks as you want & you only pay by the hour.
I definitely recommend this place if you want to just focus on your work & have anything you might want close by.
The cafe itself is very cozy & nicely decorated, helping me enjoy the little breaks as well with a nice view & air conditioning on hot days.
The staff are super friendly & helpful.
I highly recommend & will myself stop there more often to support such unique & valuable businesses.

Wowow! I am amazed. I have never experienced something like that before. This is such a welcoming place & I felt really comfortable. You can order as many drinks as you want & they even have snacks. You pay for the time you spend there. Anticafe has different floors & many different rooms to choose from. I would definitely come back!!😍

Un très bon endroit à visiter pour étude ou travail seule ou equipe .
Tu payes l'entrée selon le nombre d'heure que tu as besoin & la consommation est gratuite .
J'ai aimé l'expérience & je la recommande.
Plusieurs coins de différentes styles: Chine, qc,…
Je suggère de mettre des lampes pour ceux qui aiment plus de lumière.

Great food, vegetarian, & vegan options available, which is rare in Montreal. The service is crazy slow.. & even if you don't get a meal, you should stop in for a drink & enjoy the ambience. It's a super cute spot & would make a great casual date spot or a hang with your friends.
