Crew Collective Café se déploie dans un ancien bâtiment bancaire historique du Vieux-Montréal et donne l'impression d'une visite au musée en plus d'un café, avec des salles privées et des boxes de coworking à réserver. L'architecture impressionnante, les plafonds hauts et les détails en marbre offrent une atmosphère unique et de nombreux emplacements pour s'asseoir, même si certains espaces interdisent les ordinateurs et que l'endroit peut devenir très fréquenté. Les avis soulignent un café de qualité avec les viennoiseries et les bagels souvent appréciés, mais des variations de goût et des prix parfois élevés sont mentionnés; l'expérience globale est centrée sur le cadre spectaculaire, les opportunités de travail ou de détente, et les opportunités de prendre des photos, ce qui en fait un lieu à voir absolument, en dépit de files et de bruit et de certaines critiques sur le service ou la propreté.
Une ambiance agréable & la qualité des aliments est bonne. Pourtant on est obligé de boire son café froid car l temps d'attente pour avoir un sandwich ou un autre aliment (sauf le pain) est d'environ une quarantaine des minutes
Visited Crew Collective & Café in mid-May 2026. This busy place is located in the former Royal Bank head office in Old Montreal & is visually stunning with the 50-ft vaulted ceilings. Unfortunately, they suffer a bit from their their own aesthetic as the place is a bit of a tourist magnet for everyone looking to get an insta-worthy shot of their coffee. Depending on the time of day, there can also be a line of people trying to pose on the steps leading up to the order counter (which appears to be the old teller wickets).
Still, the line moves pretty quickly. They'll give you a buzzer for bakery items that you pick up from a separate counter on the left.
We wound up ordering a London Fog Latte & a Fairmount Bagel with Cream Cheese. Unfortunately, they were out of salmon for the bagel (kind of odd as we were there quite early). Was it the best bagel & London Fog we've had? No. But as someone who has worked in financial services & remembers how banks used to be like, it was interesting to see the grandeur of an old school bank.

Beautiful location however, latte was taste bad & my friend drink was made incorrectly. Do not come here with high expectations for the drinks since they are so busy & rushed.
Popped into Crew Collective on a Tuesday afternoon & honestly the vibe is unreal - that old bank ceiling never gets old. Latte was solid, nice micro-foam, though my espresso pulled a touch sour. Wifi held up while I cranked through emails for two hours. Almond croissant was flaky, not too sweet. Bit pricey, but I'd be back next time I'm in MTL.
Popped into Crew Collective on a quick Montreal trip & honestly didn't want to leave. The latte was proper - silky milk, no burnt notes - & the espresso held up on its own too. Vibe's gorgeous, wifi actually works, & that almond croissant? Flaky little miracle. Beats half the Queen West spots back home.
The iced matcha latte tasted very authentic. The danish was not dry & had a flavourful taste. The architecture was phenomenal. The staff were very attentive & prompt!

Lieu très original en reprenant une ancienne banque. Beaucoup de monde & d'attente. Un peu cher mais ce qui est proposé est bien fait & bon.
Pas vraiment de service, cela se passe au bar avec buzzer.
Came here for coffee mainly because of the unique ambience & historic vibe. It's definitely a beautiful & enjoyable space to sit & relax.
However, the service was disappointing. We asked for the table to be cleaned, the staff acknowledged it, but no one came back. In the end, we had to grab napkins ourselves & clean up the previous guests' trash. No toilet paper in the bathroom at all.
I ordered the Matcha latte & it was just okay. Overall, if you're here for the atmosphere & history, it's worth a visit. But if you're looking for quality drinks & attentive service, this might not be the right spot.
I have mixed feelings about this place. The space itself is incredible. It feels like you are inside a beautiful, old, high end library.
What makes me hesitate about going back is the service & the coworking setup. The coffee was just okay, & the guy with the beard serving seemed annoyed & had an attitude.
He didn't even attempt latte art lol
On the positive side, the staff overall was kind. One of the girls was very helpful & assisted me in getting a booth, which costs $15 per hour.
Something important to know is that if you are not paying for the hourly rate, you are not allowed to use your laptop. They will ask you to put it away, which can be inconvenient.
It also seems like a popular spot for photos. I saw a lot of people there just taking pictures.
If you need to take a meeting, make sure to plan ahead & give yourself at least an extra hour, since it gets very busy. I had to wait about an hour to get a booth.
In total, I paid around $50 for a coffee, a small sandwich, & one hour in a booth.
Crew Collective & Cafe is such an amazing experience! The atmosphere is incredible, & it has some gorgeous architecture as it is situated inside of an old royal bank. The dulche de latte & brown sugar latte were very delicious. It did take around 30 minutes to get our drinks & pastries, but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend!
Lieu magnifique! Probablement un des plus beaux cafés à Montréal, impressionnant. C'est aussi très pratique d'avoir accès à des salles de réunion ($) & de coworking.
Mon seul bémol est que j'ai été surprise du coût de ma dernière commande: 20$ pour un petit café latte & un biscuit - même si c'était très bon, ça m'a semblé un peu exagéré (j'ai même cru à une erreur sur le coup).
The place is visually beautiful. You enter the Crew Collective, & you truly get that feeling of being in an old royal bank. We decided to stop by to get a coffee, the service was very good, but not all the coffees. The Latte dulce de leche was great, but their cold brew was very underwhelming. It was extremely light & tasted like watery coffee. Also, if you were planning on studying there, I would not recommend it, since they only have a ew designated spots where laptops are allowed. They have a no-laptop policy in the main seating areas. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially visually, but unfortunately, for the drinks, the price paid for them did not pay off what they tasted like.

Très bel endroit surprenant par l'architecture qui est très ancienne & digne du Vatican! Parcontre, la nourriture & l'organisation sont un peu chaotiques de type cafétéria avec un buzzer & c'est assez dispendieux merci! 7,50$ pour un biscuit, une facture de 45$ pour un bagel au saumon fumé, un latté pistache & un biscuit!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑
We ordered a latte, a flat white & a hot chocolate. Two came in take out cups even though we ordered for here. The latte was a bit too milky, the flat white was way too milky & not even hot, the hot chocolate was just okay despite the over $6 price. Disappointed. Wouldn't come again for the drinks, but the setting, seating & building were lovely.
Spectacular interior
I had to insist to get my capp in a mug & not a paper cup ! Had a 12 once latte but was too milky so I also had a capp & that was OK go for the food
Le lieu est très beau & c'est le seul point positif !
Accueil ZÉRO, Service ZÉRO, ambiance ZÉRO !!!!
Un latte raté, des employés qui discutent de leur vie (on est ravi de savoir que vous aller faire des randonnées) au lieu de travailler & faire un service rapide & efficace! Prix trop cher. C'est rempli de clients impoli aussi bref…
ZÉRO
