Chez l'Éditeur comes through in reviews as a spacious, bright cafe that doubles as a bookish haven where people can study, work, or unwind among shelves and comfortable seating. The concept of mixing a cafe with a library is widely praised and the atmosphere is described as easygoing, calm, and inspiring for reading or focusing on tasks. The coffee is frequently highlighted as excellent and pastries or biscuits are enjoyed, with a decor that many find well done and inviting. Some notes mention occasional menu gaps, limited food options, or drinks that arrive lukewarm and presentations that feel basic, while a few visitors find prices high for the quality. Quiet corners and abundant outlets make it a reliable spot for distraction free work or study, though a large table or crowds can make the space louder than expected. Overall, the place stands out for its unique blend of coffee culture and books, offering a welcoming, bookish ambiance that keeps it a popular neighborhood destination for reading, working, or casual gatherings.
This has become one of my go-to spots to work, read, & unwind. The café is very spacious, with a unique book-focused setup; it almost feels like a library at first. The coffee was great. Highly recommended for anyone in the neighborhood looking for a comfortable place to read or get some work done.
J'aime venir dans ce café pour étudier : c'est lumineux, spacieux, les cafés sont bons & le service agréable !
Vous l'avez deviné, vous pouvez utiliser votre ordinateur 👩?💻 il y a des prises au besoin 🔌 donc c'est l'idéal !
J'ai aimé leur pain au chocolat & le sandwich 🥪 autrement je prends souvent que des boissons ☕?
Un très grand espace pour travailler, souvent vide, surement parce que les produits sont cher pour la qualité. Croissant sec, café latté très ordinaire (un des pires que j'ai bu dans un café…)
Vraiment un fabuleux concept que de mélanger un café avec une librairie! En tant que grande amatrice de café & de livres, je suis forcément conquise. Je me suis sentie très à l'aise pour travailler tranquillement un mercredi matin. Je reviendrai dès que l'occasion se présente!
Easy-going place. Drinks are lacking & lukewarm. The way they presented the drinks was basic, & a bit messy even though it wasn't busy. They weren't stressed, a good thing of course. They weren't on top of things however; missing ingredients to make drinks which they didn't check until after they said what was available. There wasn't much to buy for food, a few old muffins, none of it standing out either. We didn't eat there.
You may study in peace unless you see a crowd together at the biggest table. They display books you can read & purchase.
It's a place you'd enter on a whim, unsure whether to stop by again but might think about after a first experience.
I personally decided to try visiting to meet a friend for the quieter space from the reviews I read through while searching for quiet café spots. I was pleased it wasn't crowded, but it wasn't as quiet as I hoped it to be. We are both soft-spoken. It would have likely have been a better experience if the biggest table wasn't occupied by the large group as they were quite loud. Nothing bad, just straining on the ears & we had to speak louder than was comfortable. We were there for a long while regardless, enjoying each others company.
J'y vais pour être au calme, & prendre un...bon (?) café... Malheureusement, le café aux grains verts vraiment, mais vraiment amer ne me convient pas :( Par contre, le matcha latté est super. Les gens au service sont toujours attentionnés & sympathiques. Les pâtisseries manquent un peu de punch & tout est assez coûteux, mais l'ambiance vaut le détour, lorsque par chance, vous n'êtes pas assis près d'un client en''face time'' avec son téléphone...

The coffee is always delicious! It's a lighter roast espresso bean typical of cafes of this genre, so it's fruity & acidic. I love their filter coffee--I just wish they would fill the mugs all the way. Service is hit & miss, but there is ample seating area (including couches!).
Un café a la librairie ou comme dans votre salon. Vraiment l'atmosphère de ce café avec ses fauteuils confortables entouré de livres qu'ils nous est possible de feuilleté a souhait nous donne envie de nous y réfugier régulièrement. Ce que nous avons fait d'ailleurs. Malheureusement le service est minimal & pas nécessairement des plus chaleureux. & à multiples reprises notre café latte était plutôt froid, assez pour qu'on demande de je réchauffer... Le café latte lui-même bien que honnête n'est pas dans les meilleurs a Montréal.
Good latté. Quiet at 9h. Lots of fresh pastries. Books (en français) available for browsing while having coffee. Tables. Window counter with stools. Armchairs. Long table for groups. “Café littéraire”
Lieu sympathique & lumineux, le café & les pâtisseries sont bonnes mais un peu cher aussi. Le lieu n'est aucunement propice pour travailler & lire au calme, c'est la place du marché ici, les gens parlent fort sans respect pour les autres personnes, se sentant seules, c'est dommage, c'est la première que je fais l'expérience d'un café aussi bruyant
