Café ORR offers a creative, cozy atmosphere that makes it great for working, studying, or hanging out. Reviews highlight bold, artistic decor, two levels, and movie projections that give the place character. The cafe is praised for reliable wifi, plenty of seating, and friendly staff, with a menu that includes drinks, pastries, and light bites to suit different times of day. A few drawbacks appear, including music that can be loud and some reports of service inconsistencies or strong kitchen aromas that irritate eyes. Open late and with a second floor that provides a quiet working nook while staying connected to the lively energy, Café ORR comes across as a standout Montreal spot, celebrated for its vibe and coffee even if one or two details could be improved.
A must visit if you're in Montreal. Wild interiors - quite unconventional. Liked the menu with quite a selection. We went for a Cortado, Choco Chai, Chocolate Babka & Vege-Pate Sandwich. Loved the Cortado - probably the best we've had in Montreal. Choco Chai was fine. Chocolate Babka & Vege-Pate Sandwich - loved it. Definitely try.
The staff was nice. Can't say friendly. The guy seemed a bit distracted but hopefully everything was okay.
Interiors are quite busy & a lot to see & notice. They have too many different kinds of seating, so pick your style. There's seating on the floor above as well as outside.
There's street parking outside which might be difficult to find during the day. We went after 10 in the night so a few spots were there.
Definitely try!
I hidden gem on Papineau street. Bohemian nostalgic should I say. Awesome music yet a quiet ambiance ideal for some office work. The Tintin magazine brought back childhood memories. The place sits on two floors & offers a variety of coffees, homemade bakeries plus your usual danishes, hard liquor & even beer on tap. & they also have a full menu with interesting options. The Piano sits halfway up to the mezzanine but I'm not sure if it is played but it's a nice touch. If you happen to be in the area it's worth dropping by.
Super funky & uniquely decorated place! They have two levels & have a little movie area where they were projecting a silent anime movie when I was there. Worth a trip, & I love that they close late!

Staff vraiment sympa, le proprio est présent & très approchable. L'ambiance est divisé avec les sections naturelles du café. Au parterre, feeling plus classique café avec les tables & les places à créer. À l'arrière & au pallier, on peux se laisser plus rêver avec des coins plus intimes pour lire, un endroit propice aux discussions & leur écran géant qui diffuse constamment des films avec leur sous-titrages.
J'adore m'y poser autant pour un moment entre amis que pour y travailler sur mes projets.
Original atmosphere. Ideal for team discussions, or if you don't like to feel alone while working or studying.
Pros:
- Good coffee.
- Tasty (but greasy) food for a fair price (I loved the grilled cheese)
- Free & fast WiFi.
- Electrical outlets available almost everywhere.
- The service is relaxed & pleasant.
Other:
- The atmosphere is particular (concrete, exposed plumbing, intentionally dirty mirror, very busy decoration, etc.). Give it a miss if you need a clean & peaceful environment.
-No direct sunlight coming inside the coffee.
J'ai adoré mon expérience dans ce café ! L'ambiance est super agréable, le service est excellent & le matcha… juste incroyable. Vraiment l'un des meilleurs que j'ai goûtés. Tout est bien pensé, du concept à la qualité des produits. & le détail de la projection de films est vraiment cool, ça ajoute une touche unique ! Je reviendrai sans hésitation à 100 % !
