Crew Collective & Café est souvent décrit comme un lieu exceptionnel par son cadre, une ancienne banque transformée en espace élégant avec des plafonds vertigineux et des details historiques qui donnent l'impression d'un lieu unique pour boire un cafe, travailler ou se detendre. Les boissons et les patisseries sont globalement appréciées, certains elements comme le croissant ou le latte etant salués, meme si les prix peuvent sembler elevés et la qualite varier selon les jours. Le service fait l'objet de retours contrastés: efficace en periode calme, mais parfois deborde ou peu attentif lorsque l'endroit est bondé. La configuration propose des zones sans ordinateur et des espaces privés a louer, ce qui peut etre pratique pour travailler mais decourage ceux qui veulent rester librement connects. L'accesibilite et le bruit restent des points evoques, avec des escaliers et une frequentation touristique qui rendent l'endroit moins accessible ou cosy pour tous. En somme, l'endroit est une icone visuelle et une experience a part entiere, surtout pour l'architecture et l'atmosphere, mais les avis sur la nourriture, le service et le rapport prix/qualite montrent une certaine variete.
Step into a Grand Café in a Historic Bank Building!
If you're looking for a coffee shop that's equal parts stunning, social, & studious-Crew Collective & Café is your spot. Housed in a beautifully restored heritage bank building in Old Montreal, this place wows you from the moment you step inside. Soaring ceilings, grand archways, & original architectural details make every visit feel special.
Whether you're catching up with friends, settling in for a productive study session, or just treating yourself, Crew has you covered. The coffee is excellent-rich, smooth, & consistently well-made. & don't even get me started on the almond croissant… flaky, buttery, & filled with just the right amount of marzipan goodness. It's an absolute must-try!
What's even better? They offer reservable study areas & cozy nooks, making it a perfect place to focus or brainstorm. I loved wandering around between sips, taking in the grand setting & buzzing yet calm atmosphere.
A true Montreal gem-tourists shouldn't miss it, & locals are lucky to have it. Can't wait to come back!

The food , the coffee & the atmosphere is nice. Google has it incorrect though as I would not mark this coffee shop as accessible. There are bunch of stairs one has to climb to get to it. The security told me there is an elevator but using it would be an event as someone has to call someone to provide access. I don't think it's worth the hassle.
Beautiful atmosphere, Very good service, however, coffee was not good plus we were charges $1.09+ tax per person for the addition of a drop of oat milk in each coffee… No pricing displayed on pastries. Paid $7 & $8 for 2 pastries respectively, one which we returned as it was not fresh. The cake crumbled at the touch with a fork... ASK if the pastry is fresh from today… otherwise it felt like whatever didn't sell yesterday was put in front of us. It cost us $32 for 2 coffees, 2 pastries plus tip… If we have to pay these prices, have the decency to serve fresh coffee & pastries. Needless to say, we won't be back nor will we take friends when they visit us in Montreal. If you don't mind paying these prices, for mediocre coffee & stale pastries, think of it as a cover charge to sit in a beautiful historic building. 🤷?♀?
Great venue, great coffee, friendly staff. Ordering is a bit chaotic because they call your name in two separate places for drinks or food & it's not very clear. Also has a big'no laptop zone'
A little disappointed by Crew Collective & Cafe… the building itself is very cool, but the rest is a pass for me. I had the yogurt with berries & granola, but the granola was very stale, & the yogurt just bland. The Americano was just okay, & it felt like the staff didn't want to be there. The tables are also dirty with spilled & dried coffee on them. The building is a cool vibe if you're working & book a spot, but I wouldn't recommend it for tourists. There are much better cafes in Montreal.

Crew Collective Café is absolutely worth a visit for the stunning architecture alone-grabbing a coffee here feels like stepping into a historic cathedral-meets-modern workspace. It's the perfect spot to soak in the ambiance & snap some beautiful photos. Food was just ok, if you want to order something l say go for the bagels. Still, for the atmosphere & experience, it's a great stop while exploring the city.

Beautiful location. I had a flat white & chocolate croissant & they were literally perfect. Lots of Instagram moments going on while we were there, but otherwise this is a great place to have breakfast & coffee.
Crew Collective & Cafe is a stunning blend of historic architecture & modern vibes. The grand interior makes it a unique spot to work or relax. Coffee is strong & smooth, & the menu has tasty bites to keep you fueled. A great place to soak in creativity while enjoying your drink!

5 stars all around! Probably the best coffee shop I have ever been to.
The food was amazing - I don't even like coffee, but I tried my husband's cortado & would have happily ordered one myself - the coffee was that good. We also tried lining up for Fairmount bagels but it was too long of a wait & were sad to miss it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that Crew serves Fairmount bagels that are delivered fresh daily. Montreal bagels really are fantastic.
Service was great too. The line can get long but moves very quickly. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the barista who took our order but she was working on the morning of August 4/25 & one of the only workers wearing a mask. She was so nice & offered a cup of ice water to go to ensure I stayed hydrated with the heat/poor air quality outside. Thank you/I appreciate your care!
The atmosphere at this coffee shop is also on another level - you can just feel & see the history of the building that used to be an RBC branch. It's a gorgeous building inside. There are also lots of areas to sit & relax or work, even closed meeting rooms.
100% would recommend; I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in Montreal.
OMG! Read great reviews of this place, so had to try it for myself! It did NOT disappoint! What an AMAZING experience! The baristas are outstanding!!! Friendly, helpful, & just all-around great! Shout out to AWESOME MIA!!! Her recommendations were spot on! Coffee is delicious & a work of art! The almond croissant is to die for ... in fact, we returned the following day just to pick up a few for our travels!
The building is breathtaking! Worth the wait in line, but know it moves quickly! Such a coooool, unique place to frequent that will leave you feeling warm & fuzzy, lol!
Merci, Mia! :-)
Its like having tea in a castle or museum . An historical building which was a bank now they serve amazing coffee. Its often full of people including all the tour groups coming out of cruise ships
