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!!😍

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.

I have always passed by this café but never had the chance to visit until yesterday. There was a lovely event organized by three wonderful sisters, Yvette, Annie, & Ines, called "Tribe" (it was their first experience hosting it). The event was about swapping gifts brought from home, whether new, old, used, or unused. The atmosphere was warm & cozy, with all snacks included, & you could order as many drinks as you wanted. The café itself is amazing; every corner & room has its own character. The antique furniture, decor, & the thoughtful organization of each space truly make you feel at home. Upon entering, you write down your name (whether it's your first visit or you're a regular), change into slippers, wash your hands, & choose where to sit. You can then help yourself to a variety of foods from the kitchen area, including eggs, veggies, hummus, popcorn, biscuits, & a range of coffee & tea options. The matcha I had was perfect, especially with the special preparation by Sofi, the barista, who added lemon, sugar, & ginger. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy any of the snacks due to my gluten-free diet, which was a downside for me. I hope they might consider adding more fruits, veggies, & gluten-free snacks in the future. Additionally, the café has many microwaves, a printer, & board games, making it a great spot to study, work, relax, or enjoy some snacks, tea, & a good book. You only pay for the time you spend there, & if you're there for more than five hours, the maximum cost is $21, including taxes. I highly recommend this place!

pros: cool concept, cozy vibes, pretty decor, speedy service, drinks were very tasty, & the staff was happy to explain the concept to newcomers :) cons: limited snack options (no rice or hot chocolate or chai or hummus or yogurt), very cold in the bathrooms, wifi was slow at times, we saw a mouse, & one of the baristas laughed at my friends on two separate occasions :( maybe miscommunication but it left a bad feeling & they didn't feel entirely welcome requesting more drinks

I love this place! I've been going here since Fall 2017 or so! It's about 7 dollars for the first hour, then it goes down to about 4 dollars for the next hour. I don't remember the exact prices, but it's well worth it! Instead of paying for the food, you pay for the time, & it's all you can eat & drink cafe fare! I'm kind of sad 3 other Anticafe's closed down during the pandemic, but glad this one is still open. Back in 2017, this Anticafe had a disco bathroom! (Disco lights) & entry for the first hour was about 3 dollars! But there was inflation so they gradually had to increase the prices. I had a nice hot chocolate when I went last week, today I had a nice London Fog, but I substituted Tetley Orange Pekoe instead of Earl Grey. It was great! Next time I go, I'll get an iced coffee or iced hot chocolate maybe! They even have Matcha! On busy days they make crepes! I missed it the last two times I went, though. I had a fun game of Dominion! It's a cool deck building game, but the cards were in the wrong spots. Someone accidentally flipped the card listing paper, upside down. I fixed it though! (I was wondering why some cards were hard to find!) In fall, winter & spring, apparently they make rice! Also you can bring food from other places, into here! They have potato chips, so if you buy a hot dog nearby, you can pair some food together! They have a small Pac Man arcade cabinet, upstairs! They have vanilla syrup, so I might also get a vanilla Latte next time. I'll be back again! Great service, great food, & nice atmosphere!

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!

Alternative co-working space with a cooperative like atmosphere. You pay for the time you stay & you can get access to snacks & drinks. It is perfect if you need to concentrate to work on a solo project but also to have meetings/calls. There are several rooms & semi-private table arrangements. Lots of plants & cool stuff & art to look through during your breaks!
