Crew Collective Café sits inside a grand, historic bank building in Old Montreal, and it feels like stepping into a museum while you order coffee or work in private rooms and bookable coworking boxes. The space is praised for its stunning architecture, soaring ceilings, marble details, and abundant seating, though some areas restrict laptops and others fill up quickly, making it easy to miss a seat. Reviews highlight strong coffee and tasty pastries and bagels, with a few days showing inconsistency in drinks or food quality and some prices seen as high for what is received. The atmosphere and photo opportunities draw crowds, and many visitors treat it as an experience as much as a cafe, a must visit for architecture lovers and a good spot to work or relax, even if service speed or queue length can vary.
What a beautiful spot. They have good food & coffee. Orange juice was fresh. Visited again after many years. Good coffee & juice. Also good pastry selection.
Inside a former bank makes for a unique setting to have good quality coffee. As a result there was a long line of mostly those looking to experience the space, so a lot taking pictures & passing through. A lot of seating, but was mostly filled, so probably not the most relaxing setting to sit & enjoy. If passing through worth it for the coffee quality.

Highly recommend to come for coffee & chill! Self service on seating, so you can choose wherever you wanna sit! Even the almond croissant was outstanding!
Absolutely love Crew Café! The space is breathtaking, it's in this gorgeous old bank with high ceilings & marble everywhere, which makes it feel super grand. Perfect spot if you're looking to get some work done or just hang out with friends. The coffee is great, & they have some tasty pastries too, though it's a bit pricey (probably because of the beautiful setting). Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Montreal & want a unique café experience!
First time at this café. Booked a booth for a meeting. Was not advertised that there is no door or ceiling to the booth. Met by hostess Lawrence, who was extraordinary. She did everything in her power with consideration & professionalism. I hope the Management recognise & award such performance.
Superbe endroit ! Café vraiment excellent & la nourriture est délicieuse aussi. Un gros 10/10 pour nous. C'est tellement beau en plus, on se croirait dans un musée. Si c'était plus près de chez moi ou de mon travail, j'y serais souvent c'est certain. Ils servent l'excellent café Traffic qui est torréfié à Montréal. J'ai pris le latté au pain doré... un délice ! Service A1.
I got the latte brown sugar oat. It was around 8$ tax included which is expensive. It was just ok & not too sweet. There was no place to sit, not many tables & a lot of people. The line was pretty long. There are mostly couches. It is a crowdy & loud place. Not a good place to study unless if you rent a space maybe.
Crew Cafe is a must-visit for anyone looking for fresh, delicious coffee & outstanding bagels in Montreal. It's a perfect blend of quality & comfort that keeps you coming back for more.
Cafe is beautiful however, no cleanliness there was flies on our food, tables were dirty & food was cold like not even at room temperature. I think it's just good for taking some photos. Not worth the hype, there are more beautiful cafes in Montreal if you want to try best food & coffee. We were so excited to visit this cafe but we didn't like it at all...
