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.
This is a beautiful space to come & drink coffee or to work. & the coffee & pastries are very good. Marianne the barista is so helpful & always smiley :) The others could follow her lead. It does get super busy, though.
Un endroit super beau, une architecture fascinante & des fauteuils douillets pour relaxer. C'est un peu cher mais pour une belle sortie on ne compte pas.
Place was packed on Sunday noon. Hard to find space. For 15 dollar, you could have a separate cabin. Staff was courteous & helpful. Beverages were all good & I would recommend oatmilk latte & chai latte. Food was good specially the chicken focassia. All the beverages were good.
This is such a nice cool place to get coffee & cozy up. However, it's so busy & there's a lot of people. There's not a lot of space to sit. The coffee is good too.
Magnifique bâtiment, ambiance agréable. Victime de son succès, il peut être difficile de trouver une place. Y aller dans la matinée pour se poser, lire, travailler, seul avec des amis/collègues...

Disappointed. & not great for actually co-work as they claim. For your info : the main parts for co working are NOT for free : you gotta be a member or something. The people who dont pay for the place are packed in one little area. Not very good to work, because it seems always super crowded. Super arrogant vibe. Very expensive - like for a bagel 15 dollars? With taxes i had to spend 25 dollars for a latte & a small bagel...! Nop. Wont come back.
A must go for any tourist visiting Montreal, very beautiful architecture & ambiance. However, it's just that. Drinks are a bit overpriced, there's always a long line, half the seating is reserved for paying members, etc. Staff is friendly & still a great place to stop by, but nothing extraordinary.
Un service très chaleureux dans un endroit chargé d'histoire avec une architecture spectaculaire. L'endroit rappelle un peu le style New-Yorkais; beaucoup de films d'ailleurs sont tournés dans ce lieu emblématique. Un endroit à visiter absolument avec une pause dans ce café. Les week-ends l'endroit est bondé, en semaine l'accès est plus aisé & la chance de trouver de quoi s'assoir est plus probable.
