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.
One my favorite cafes in Montreal. If you are a tourist you must come here, read about the history of this place which was the royal bank of canada building, & enjoy the architecture inside, now the cafe has casual seatings & it is always crowded weekdays & weekends but with patience you will eventually secure a place. They also have office rooms with different sizes that you can reserve for a fee, perfect for meetings & presentations. Their coffee is great & pastry too Service is good but expect a line up The only con is that they close early as 4 pm But overall will always be special no matter how many time Ive visited it!
Beaaaautiful place yes but the quality of the drinks is not consistent. Just now, I paid $7 including tip for this thing they call it latte. The milk foam is not of good latte. So sad.
Beautiful environment such a gorgeous ceiling, a real work of art. I ordered a cappuccino to stay I gave them a 4 star as they ran out of china cups so I received it in a paper cup to drink on site. I would go back again & try it was quite busy, to save time order on line it was a bit of a wait.
This cafe in an old bank allows you to explore what can happen when a cafe goes into a bank. They have conference rooms right behind the teller areas where servers can hand over their coffees. It's a beautiful setting.
This would be a cafe I say one should visit simply for how beautiful it is inside. The atmosphere is picture worthy & ambient. The drinks & pastry's like the desserts were quite decent as well. It can get busy in here but it is a wonderful place to enjoy some coffee quietly & enjoy the view
Magnifique édifice, c'est un attrait en soi, à visiter pour son architecture. Si vous commandez au café, les employés présumeront que vous parlez anglais. Ils prononceront même votre nom en anglais quand votre commande sera prête. Par ailleurs, l'hôtesse assise à l'entrée du café qui ne dit pas bonjour & ne fait rien : pourquoi est-elle là?
Beaucoup trop cher. 15$ thé + financier avec tips. Cash pas accepté. Lumières tamisées pas idéal pour travailler. Plus pour chiller & profiter de l'architecture (magnifique) si vous êtes ds le quartie
