Overall, reviews describe Crew Collective Café as a breathtaking space housed in a historic former bank, with soaring ceilings, grand arches and an atmosphere that makes a coffee break feel ceremonial; the architecture and setting are consistently cited as the highlight, with many visitors lingering to work or relax in ample seating and private rooms, though crowds can be intense and seating hard to find during peak times. Coffee and pastries receive praise for quality and flavor, with some standout items noted, while a few say the food is pricey or average for the price. Service is mixed, ranging from friendly and efficient to overwhelmed during busy periods, and some readers mention policy changes such as restrictions on laptop use and accessibility issues that can affect comfort. Overall it is seen as a must visit for architecture and ambiance, offering a unique and photogenic experience, even if some guests question value or consistency of drinks and meals.
Honestly not worth the hype here. Yes its pretty but the drinks depending what you get taste gross & the baristas have an attitude. I wanted an ice drink & made sure that it was & the girl said its not but I got it & just quickly dumped my drink into a full thing of milk. So not great. Girl at the cash was great though
Ce lieu historique est absolument incroyable & vaut vraiment le détour, que ce soit pour une visite touristique ou pour prendre de magnifiques photos. L'ambiance est agréable & inspirante. Il est également possible d'y télétravailler : des bureaux sont accessibles pour cela, ce qui est très pratique. Il existe aussi une zone centrale (gratuite) avec des sièges où l'on peut s'installer pour travailler de manière plus informelle, même si elle ne dispose malheureusement pas de prises pour recharger son ordinateur portable. Un endroit à découvrir absolument !

Lovely ambiance. latte & almond croissant are soo addictive. The architecture of old charm is impressive. We just kept coming back. Prices are a little more than Starbucks but the quality is far superio
Cool cafe beautiful building & architecture. Concept unique however to try & access this place with a stroller was nearly impossible, & if you are in a wheelchair forget even trying to go here
The cafe is amazing. The moment you stand in front of the huge ornate doors, you know you are about to enter a special place. The headquarters of Royal Bank of Canada converted into Crew Cafe is so grand & opulent, the floors, the walls & the ceilings were all original & they conferred the tellers counters into the barista section. They serve pastries & breakfast food & fantastic coffees. To visit Crew Cafe is a total experience of richness of culture.
Nous y sommes allés pour l'ambiance & le décor! C'était la semaine & nous y avons pris un café seulement. Ça vaut la peine d'y entrer car le décor est majestueux! Beaucoup de monde en file le week-end!
Its neoclassical splendor shall leave you radiating with renewed vigor! Its americano shall impart upon your mouth a feeling of smoothness! The crossaints will be among the best you ever taste in your life, though a bit pricey at $10! Crew! Crew! Crew!
