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.
Truly mesmerizing architecture. The best Cold brew I have ever had in my entire life. It was smooth & just perfect balance of sweet, sour & bitter. It has ruined all other cold brews for me 😅 Definitely recommend stopping by
The building itself is beautiful & that's it. Ordered a BLT bagel & waited in front of the counter for 15mins while everyone got their order. Eventually a staff member actually asked what I am waiting for & just said my order didn't came through in the system even though it was properly charged & paid for. 😊 Interesting cashier system.

This place was huge & so historical. I love that they had booths & reservations for larger amounts of people. Our friends & I were very satisfied. The Menu was kinda off they day we went. They were short on some items... but overall very nice place to go with your friends!
Used to be my go-to spot to study & have a coffee. They used to have large tables equipped with power bars that allowed you to plug your computer. Since they have changed the seats' configuration & replaced everything with dirty old couches it seems like it is no longer possible to work there unless you're willing to pay 15 bucks/ hour to get one of their rooms. The good point is that their coffee is still as great as before

There is NOTHING to complaint about their Croissants 🥐. It is the BEST croissant that I have ever had. I tried to come back the next day to get more croissants before leaving but it was sold out around 10AM. Coffee is also good. Located in the center of downtown, very easily commuted.
Great atmosphere. We went at the right time, around 2pm & it wasn't overly crowded. Long lines & no seats an hour later. The drinks were good, pastries good though a little overpriced. The interior is spectacular. I was talking pictures with my phone & camera. After an hour someone told me that it isn't aloud to take pictures with camera, only with phone.
