Crew Collective Café se déploie dans un ancien bâtiment bancaire historique du Vieux-Montréal et donne l'impression d'une visite au musée en plus d'un café, avec des salles privées et des boxes de coworking à réserver. L'architecture impressionnante, les plafonds hauts et les détails en marbre offrent une atmosphère unique et de nombreux emplacements pour s'asseoir, même si certains espaces interdisent les ordinateurs et que l'endroit peut devenir très fréquenté. Les avis soulignent un café de qualité avec les viennoiseries et les bagels souvent appréciés, mais des variations de goût et des prix parfois élevés sont mentionnés; l'expérience globale est centrée sur le cadre spectaculaire, les opportunités de travail ou de détente, et les opportunités de prendre des photos, ce qui en fait un lieu à voir absolument, en dépit de files et de bruit et de certaines critiques sur le service ou la propreté.
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!
Saw the reviews about the place & decided to give it a try! Like people said the ambiance is great & the ceiling indoor is expansive & unique. However, the london fog & matcha lattes that we all got really missed the mark & all of our drinks just tasted like flavoured milk. I would say if you're coming here just come for the ambiance & photos - your best bet would be to go to another cafe nearby for the drinks.
J'aime beaucoup le concept & lieu est extraordinaire. Une vieille banque qui vaut le coup d'oeil niveau architecture.
Pour ce qui est du service, nourriture tout y est très bien. Mais rien qui me fait dire waw pour avoir 5 étoiles.
Mais l'établissement mérite les 5 pour le concept. (Disposition de salles à louer & café)
Definitely somewhere you want to go if you want a treat! The drinks were wonderful, great if you want to get some work done / go to a more upscale cafe. Stunning architecture, but if you want to stay for a longer time & chat it isn't as inviting. Overall lovely.

I had the pleasure of visiting Crew Collective & Cafe L today, & I can honestly say it's one of the best coffee experiences I've ever had. The baristas were friendly & knowledgeable, taking the time to explain their different roasts & even suggesting a drink based on my preferences.
I tried their dulce de leche , & it was absolutely perfect - smooth, balanced, & rich with flavor. The latte art was a beautiful touch too! The shop itself has a cozy & historical vibe, with plenty of seating options for both individuals & groups. Plus, their selection of pastries was a great addition to the coffee.
What really stands out about this place is the attention to detail & the level of care they put into everything they do. I'll definitely be coming back for more, & I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality coffee & a great environment to relax or work.
Gorgeous cafe in a former bank. Great place to get some work done. Gets quite busy later on in the day. I went two days apart & the second time they had more tables out to do work at.
When I visited, I wanted to try their croissant they ran out 😭, but I tried a bagel with butter, cream cheese, & jam-& wow! It was incredible. Highly recommend!
The coffee was below average & chocolate pastry was good but fairly standard. It's also very overpriced.
I wasn't entirely satisfied with the seating arrangement. I understand it's a café & co-working space, but most seats were occupied by people working for hours, without needing to make any reservation. This left little room for those who simply wanted to enjoy a coffee or meal. I even noticed a gentleman uncomfortably sitting on a bench in the corner, holding his bowl of soup because there were no tables available to set it down.
I would give a 4 if the seating situation was better!

Ce café est un vrai bijou. C est une ancienne banque & les plafonds sont impressionnants. À mettre sur votre liste des choses à faire & à voir absolument à Montréal & plus précisément dans le Vieux Port.
Super café, c'est un endroit magnifique qui mérite sa popularité! Les cafés sont de bonnes qualités & les employés très souriants & aimables! Seul problème, j'ai commandé un sandwich classique & il était effectivement classique, pain, salade, tomates, fromage, avocat noircie & sauce… le problème c'est qu'il etait sans réel saveurs. Je ne dénigre pas le travail du personnel mais plutôt le prix pour le goût… je ne recommande pas se sandwich
Generally, the quality of the coffee was exceptional. I highly recommend a cappuccino with a sandwich if you plan to work at the café for a long time, they have long-term seating, which is great.The ambiance of the bank was just really nice & it did not disappoint. I did find it to be a little bit more on the expensive side, but it is worth it.

La beauté de ce café est irrévocable. Cependant, 8$ pour un bagel froid au beurre je trouve ça un petit peu cher. De plus, il y a peu de place pour s'assoir sans payer 15$/h. Décevant :(
Likely a lot of the people came to look at the cafe, being named prettiest cafe in Montreal in the Time Out magazine. It was a very grand building, with high ceilings, & intricate designs. Standing room only on a Sunday afternoon. Had a hot chocolate & took in the scenery.
It's great a place to visit for architecture, but café is super full, barely have a place to sit down (a Saturday at noon for example), you have to pay extra to use the booths, pastries are quite on the expensive side, 8$ for a financier. Staff are helpful tho.
Maybe it was the over expectation that people created around it, but this wasn't the most wow experience. I mean yeah it has high ceilings & other old timey architectural stuff, but if you really wanna see that, just walk down to the Bank of Montreal Museum just down the street. It was all that done & preserved much better. Then the food menu isn't really well crafted. Just as a normal cafe anywhere would have. Tastes the same too. Then the seating is the worst thing of all. They haven't really figured out if they are serving daily customers or tourists or all-day working professionals. They've tried to cater to all, but failed to please any.
Only good thing about this place is'The Place'. Old ancient bank building converted to cafe. Coffee & food is basic, nothing special. Located nearby metro stations. If driving, it will be bit hard to find a parking spot.
