Anticafé Montreal fonctionne comme un espace communautaire où les clients paient pour le temps passé plutôt que pour des produits individuels. L'environnement propose un modèle en libre-service offrant une variété illimitée de boissons chaudes, de collations légères et de pâtisseries fraîchement préparées. Les visiteurs utilisent les différents postes de travail, les coins salon et les tables partagées pour faciliter la productivité ou les activités de loisirs tout au long de la journée. Ce concept privilégie l'accessibilité, permettant aux clients d'interagir avec une sélection variée de douceurs artisanales et d'options de café tout en maintenant une expérience fluide et non traditionnelle. L'aménagement intérieur met l'accent sur une atmosphère détendue propice aux tâches concentrées ou aux échanges sociaux dans un cadre fonctionnel. Les installations standard soutiennent une grande utilité pour ceux qui recherchent un environnement calme pour consommer des rafraîchissements.

Anticafé Montreal propose un concept original et abordable où les clients paient pour leur temps passé plutôt que pour chaque consommation, profitant ainsi d'un accès illimité au café, au thé et à des collations dans un décor charmant et singulier. Bien que de nombreux visiteurs apprécient l'atmosphère chaleureuse et trouvent l'endroit idéal pour travailler, étudier ou socialiser, certains soulignent des inconvénients notables tels que le manque d'espace personnel, un niveau sonore parfois trop élevé pour la concentration, ainsi que des préoccupations concernant la propreté, la qualité de l'air et la variété des options alimentaires. Le personnel est généralement décrit comme accueillant et serviable, malgré quelques remarques sur des barrières linguistiques ou des services inégaux. Globalement, le lieu est perçu comme un espace créatif et unique qui convient parfaitement aux séances de travail courtes, même si certains utilisateurs le trouvent moins adapté aux périodes de travail intense nécessitant un grand calme.
I spent about 3.5 hours working here & paid around $20, which I found reasonable for the location. It's conveniently situated near Place des Arts, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable, & I appreciated the complimentary coffee & snacks.
That said, I didn't find it to be an ideal environment for focused work. The space is charming & has character, but it felt quite cramped. Many of the tables are small & shared by multiple people, which leaves little personal space. I was seated on what appeared to be repurposed movie theatre seats, which added to the quirky atmosphere but wasn't particularly comfortable for several hours of work.
The biggest challenge was the noise level. Because of the close quarters, conversations & even everyday sounds from nearby guests carried easily. At one point, someone sharing my table was chewing & slurping loudly, making it difficult to concentrate. I also found it difficult to locate accessible power outlets, likely due to the layout.
Overall, it's a cute & unique spot with good amenities & a great location, but for me it was too tight & noisy to be productive. I personally wouldn't return for a work session, though it could be a reasonable option if you're in the area & need a place to work for a short period.
Such a fun space. Unlimited lattes is an amazing deal for 22$. I only wish the snacks were healthier. When I was there they only had packaged foods & chips, would prefer some fruits & veggies but understand that it might only be economical when they're in season.
Nice alternative space to study/co-work & the staff were friendly. Some points of improvement would be the quality of the beverages made & better hygiene system for the food & upkeep of the different rooms/spaces. Otherwise not a bad experience!

J'ai vu 2 fois des souris. La première fois dans une salle du 2eme étage, & une 2eme derrière la cuvettes des toilettes du 2ème étage également. C'est dommage parce que j'aime bien l'endroit.
I absolutely loved the vibe at Anticafé! it's so unique & different from your typical coffee shop. The space is super clean, bright, & incredibly spacious, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. On top of that, the staff are so friendly & helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out, & I will definitely be back for sure!
I went there for about an hour & ended up paying $10 because they didn't have change, even though it's supposed to be $7.50 per hour.
The place is very dusty… it looks like it hasn't been properly cleaned in months. The air quality is also poor, likely because the building is quite old. I found it hard to breathe while I was there.
As for snacks, the options are very basic: plain toast (no butter or cheese, just jam & peanut butter), some stale chips, & instant noodles.
I won't be going back. For the same $10, I'd rather spend time & work in a nice café where I can stay longer & enjoy a cleaner, more comfortable environment.
I absolutely adore Anti-café & everyone who I've recommended it to does too!
I've been going for the past four years pretty consistently, & I am obsessed with the place & the concept.
For about 22$ a day (or hourly rate up until 5h) you can have unlimited tea, coffee & snacks + access to a kitchen for hummus, pancakes, & grilled cheese.
The design is also so fantastic & fantasy coded! I feel like I fell down the mad hatter's coffee shop. The bathrooms are awesome, & they have so many plants :3
They have also a ton of activity, like drawing, movies, & board games, among many others! You can also play a vintage Pac-Man game upstairs.
It can get crowded & loud, especially when big groups have activities planned, but I still really enjoy the place.
Overall I think this is so worth the price. I recommend it to anyone looking for a cram sesh!
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 👋
