The place itself is great & the staff is very welcoming & nice, but when I asked for an advice about which type of string will be more durable for the bracelet, I was told that the metal rod was the best option. The bracelet broke after not even a month of wearing it.
I went there with my friend as well & hers broke too after a few weeks.

I paid over $50 for a bracelet where the gold tinted beads faded after I washed my hands once, & fully broke after only 5 days. I'm super disappointed. Spending an hour & that much money on a craft that doesn't even last a week is ridiculous. I wish I could get my money back. Do not recommend going here.

I had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly & helpful. I made a charm bracelet & the charms were / are beautiful. If you're in Montreal you should add this to your must do list!

Interesting place. Was not at all what I was expecting. I expected a workshop but this was basically really an arts & craft cafe. Nothing overly special, except the price. I made a bracelet with 6 charms & my girlfriend a necklace with 5. Ended up paying over 70$ each for our items. Come to find out the first 2 charms are almost 10$....each!!! The 3rd & 4th charms....7.75$ each!!!! 5th charm: 5.50$.
The make it more disappointing was that they have 3 types of charms - type 1 & 3 are gold & hypoallergenic but type 2 will basically begin discoloration soon. Yet they are all the same price.....20$ for the chain but 40$ for the charms..... Insane!!!! Don't even get me started on the'menu' prices. All this to say, it was an interesting & disappointing experience all together. The decor of the place was a whole other story. So much potential for a place like this.
Would I recommend or go back?
If they changed their prices maybe or at least the quality & selection of charms.

I had such a fun time there making my charm bracelet. They have quite a variety of charms to pick from. The staff is also super helpful & kind. I'd really recommend this place for a fun activity with your girlfriends!

Cute concept but far too overpriced. I made a simple beaded bracelet (cost $40). It was busy & I got the feeling the staff wanted me out at fast as possible, especially after my first bracelet broke (the materials very very cheap) & was told I had to remake it. They watched me like a hawk after that trying to get me to hurry up. Other than that the staff were really inattentive & I had to keep asking for the proper materials when they gave me the wrong ones. Then one of the staff started filming me (presumably for social media) without asking! Absolutely unacceptable in my opinion. Probably won't be returning but it was a mostly enjoyable way to spend a rainy afternoon.

EDIT: I unfortunately cannot reply to the owner's comment, but I will do so here. The staff/family member told me my face wasn't in the video, but I find that somewhat difficult to believe since the phone was right next to my head. & she absolutely did not offer to let me check the video. It was the same woman who was urging me to finish faster.

This is an incredibly rude & unprofessional response, calling a customer a liar in response to a legitimate complaint. Definitely will not be returning after this.

Great experience. Made a beautiful bracelet at an affordable price. Staff was very friendly & helpful. We had delicious drinks & food. Recommend the strawberry matcha & all of the croissants. Loved how our group could do different activities at our own pace. Would recommend to everyone.

I went to Café Manufique for the first time today with my friends & had an amazing time thanks to the very friendly workers. They took the time to explain each activity (we did the terrarium, the beads & the charms bracelet) & were super helpful when we neede help despite the place being pretty busy at the time we went (sunday afternoon). Very satifisfied with my experience & will be coming back for sure:)
