Café ORR stands out for its bold, artistic vibe and lively, creative energy, making it feel like a hub for work, study, or hanging out. The two-level layout, quirky decor, and occasional projections give it a distinctive character, while the space offers plenty of seating and outlets and remains open late, often described as a welcoming spot to chill, be productive, or meet friends. The coffee and pastries are hit or miss for some, with some drinks praised and others considered average, and the vibe sometimes overrides the coffee quality; vegan options and a selection of drinks including beer and wine add to the appeal. Music is frequently cited as too loud, distracting for conversation or listening to personal music, and a few mornings feature cooking smells that irritate eyes. Staff are generally friendly, though a few reviews mention attitude issues among baristas; parking can be challenging, but the place is still viewed as a hidden gem with unique charm and a strong sense of atmosphere that invites return visits.
Beautiful cafe & very cozy, there's literally no shoes zones haha, was served by this amazing barista called Tya, even tho apparently it was her first day, she provided great service, would highly recommend & definitely will be coming back !!
The moment you walk in, this café gives off a creative, slightly quirky energy that you notice right away. It doesn't try to be minimalist or trendy, instead, it embraces a bold, artistic style that makes the place feel alive & full of character.
One thing I really loved: it's very laptop-friendly. There's plenty of space, lots of seating options, & many electricity outlets for laptops. You can easily spend hours here, working, studying, or even playing chess. Or you can simply sit back & enjoy the atmosphere, which is cozy, creative, & never boring.
They even have a second floor with a nice view of the space below, perfect if you want to work quietly while still feeling connected to the café's energy.
I tried their drink, & while the latte was just okay, the overall vibe of the place made the visit worth it.

very nice very cozy amazing tasty etc.
BUT
at some point in the morning I guess you start cooking something that makes my eyes hurt so bad, & I saw some of your other customers around me struggling with the same thing, we were literally in tears. I can't tell if it's an onion because it didn't smell like an onion but my eyes felt like I was cutting a fresh one myself for half an hour
I don't know if there is anything can be done about, but it's literally the only thing that makes me uncomfortable in you beautiful place so may be there is a chance that you actually can
do something thank you
Honestly great, the food (try the bagels & toasts) & coffee (try affogato) is quality, & the atmosphere is special. Price is just as high as any other cafe in the city. I wish it was larger, but then it would lose some of its cozyness. I liked the experience.
I have to say that this may be my favourite cafe I have ever been to!! It is perfect in all the ways that matter to me most in a coffee shop. Really good food - I had the avocado toast & my boyfriend got a bagel (the serving size & quality ingredients match the prices - bagel was grilled with lots of cheese & avocado toast had so much avocado & delicious flavours), VERY aesthetic & cozy atmosphere, & good music. Somewhere I could really see myself hanging out/working in often, not to mention the amazing hours that are so hard to find in mtl. Wow! Can't wait to try chilling here in the late evenings! The only thing it's missing is REALLY good quality coffee & well aerated milk (that might depend on the barista & it's good enough for me to come back just wouldn't only come back for the coffee alone).
I just love this place! It's perfect for studying, working, writing or just hanging out. The service is great, the coffee & food are amazing. It's cozy, homey & the music is smooth. There are so many different types of sitting. I recommend!
Wow - this place is so "cool" that I felt out of place. Spinning tables, lofts, cozy spaces, projections, couches....wow.... it could shake the hipster outta ya!

It's kinda cozy but messy at the same time, to be honest I found very difficult to have some work done there, weird chairs, noise, the coffee is great I definitely recommend this place to do anything but work/study
If you find yourself wandering around Plateau Mont-Royal in Montreal, Cafe Orr is a must-visit! It's got that cozy vibe & the staff are super friendly. Their menu's got a bit of everything - from tasty pastries to hearty sandwiches & salads. Yeah, it might be a tad pricier than some other spots, but the quality totally makes up for it. Plus, they're all about using local ingredients, which is awesome!
It is not easy to wait for a sunny weekend, of course, with friends to coffee street sweeping. The cafe he has chosen is very pleasing to me. It is a mix of Eclectic style, various corners & green plants, but coZy overall. • There are coffee, desserts & food here, I ordered a bagel orr with a big cup of coffee, ten tips a total of 20, I think it is very cost-effective! & bagel is really good! Service little brother is also very lovely always smiling to welcome, make you feel very comfortable, reading & dating I think are very suitable. I think their kitchen is also in here, so sometimes the smell will come out, but I don't mind so much. Will come again anyway.

I thought I would love this place based on the reviews & the late times that it is open. It turns out I was right & do love it! Super nice atmosphere- comfy, relaxing, & cozy!
Staff is super nice, music is greatvand the vibe of the place is cozy & chill. But I beg you, please clean dust of the place, I can tell dust has accumulated for years now 😬🤧
