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.
Lieu magnifique! Probablement un des plus beaux cafés à Montréal, impressionnant. C'est aussi très pratique d'avoir accès à des salles de réunion ($) & de coworking.
Mon seul bémol est que j'ai été surprise du coût de ma dernière commande: 20$ pour un petit café latte & un biscuit - même si c'était très bon, ça m'a semblé un peu exagéré (j'ai même cru à une erreur sur le coup).
The place is visually beautiful. You enter the Crew Collective, & you truly get that feeling of being in an old royal bank. We decided to stop by to get a coffee, the service was very good, but not all the coffees. The Latte dulce de leche was great, but their cold brew was very underwhelming. It was extremely light & tasted like watery coffee. Also, if you were planning on studying there, I would not recommend it, since they only have a ew designated spots where laptops are allowed. They have a no-laptop policy in the main seating areas. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially visually, but unfortunately, for the drinks, the price paid for them did not pay off what they tasted like.

Très bel endroit surprenant par l'architecture qui est très ancienne & digne du Vatican! Parcontre, la nourriture & l'organisation sont un peu chaotiques de type cafétéria avec un buzzer & c'est assez dispendieux merci! 7,50$ pour un biscuit, une facture de 45$ pour un bagel au saumon fumé, un latté pistache & un biscuit!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑
We ordered a latte, a flat white & a hot chocolate. Two came in take out cups even though we ordered for here. The latte was a bit too milky, the flat white was way too milky & not even hot, the hot chocolate was just okay despite the over $6 price. Disappointed. Wouldn't come again for the drinks, but the setting, seating & building were lovely.
Spectacular interior
I had to insist to get my capp in a mug & not a paper cup ! Had a 12 once latte but was too milky so I also had a capp & that was OK go for the food
Le lieu est très beau & c'est le seul point positif !
Accueil ZÉRO, Service ZÉRO, ambiance ZÉRO !!!!
Un latte raté, des employés qui discutent de leur vie (on est ravi de savoir que vous aller faire des randonnées) au lieu de travailler & faire un service rapide & efficace! Prix trop cher. C'est rempli de clients impoli aussi bref…
ZÉRO
Service déplorable, faire la file 10 min & ce faire dire qu'on servira juste les deux personne devant moi parce qu'elle ferme alors que ça faisait un bout que j'attendais j'étais juste seul & personne derrière moi.
& pas le temps pour me servir juste un chocolat. Ce faire dire par la serveuse. Si je t'accepte je devrais accepter les autres. Les autres ? Il ya personne qui fait la file. & il est même pas 18h

Probably one of the coolest cafes I've ever been in. Being in an old bank made the atmosphere incedible. The architecture, while working & sipping on a latte, was something I've never experienced before. It was one of my highlights of my first time visiting Montreal. ❤?
Absolutely breathtaking!! We stumbled upon this former bank building which is now the Crew Cafe. Naturally on a Saturday they were packed but we luckily got a seat (first come, first served). I ordered a London Fog Latte & it was pretty good but not very hot. We don't order food but they do serve sandwiches & alcoholic drinks. This is a very touristy spot & if you are visiting Montreal I would totally recommend you check it out!!!
We found this place in Old Montréal & what a find. It looks like the foyer to an old train station you would see in movies. High arches with beautifully designed ceilings & details with high, arched windows for lots of daylight. The seating in the front is mostly cafe style, bench & padded chairs, but if you look for the doorway to the seating area behind the counter, you'll find a quieter area full of sofas & big, comfy chairs. I ordered a chai latte & the three cheese grilled cheese sandwich with a puckle relish. The bread was light & crunchy & the relish was a nice touch. A very relaxing, & pleasant place for a rest & bite. 10 out of 10.
I really wanted to like this place. It was on my Montreal bucket list for months. Unfortunately, I will NEVER recommend it. It's easy to come in & take pictures of the lovely architecture - the ceiling is gorgeous. But the beauty stops there.
The Crew is a total tourist hotspot, & be prepared to wait in line for AGES for mediocre, overpriced food & lukewarm coffee. There are two lines: I assumed one was take-out & the other for dine-in, but no, both are for ordering; it's then up to you to find a seat.
Once you manage to place your order, good luck finding a seat. It's an absolute ZOO. Every Instagrammer & YouTube wannabe is here, along with about a bajillion visitors ahead of you in line. But first! You must WAIT. You must wait for ANOTHER half-hour while the overworked & understaffed baristas prepare your coffee. & all those Instagrammers? They already ordered theirs & are ALSO waiting, ready to pounce with camera in hand on the disappointing matcha lattes. So lucky you can park yourself by the coffee, joining the endless squabble of human seagulls for the never-arriving foodstuffs, & get hopelessly wrestled & jostled by all 1,000 people who will walk by you with their backpacks, jackets & wide shoulders.
I unfortunately thought it would be a good idea to treat my out-of-town guest to a matcha latte & cookies. I ordered a matcha latte & two baked goods (a cookie & a small blondie-style square) - & it came to $23. Geez! Considering the matcha is priced at $6.75, that makes the cookies $7 EACH!! & the cashier did not make a mistake - $23 was indeed the correct amount for 3 items. HOLY COW! I need to sell a cow in order to afford to come here again. & the $23 is before tip, so you might as well sell your chicken too if you want to afford this place & tip the servers.
My guest searched high & low for two seats for us, circling around. No luck. & then, a small group left! Alas, jostling is not just for the coffee area. Two ladies physically PUSHED my friend out of the way & launched themselves into the seats. WOW. Welcome to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Oh, sorry, I meant Welcome to the Crew Collective: home of people auditioning for football linebacker positions on the team!
My guest managed to MIRACULOUSLY find a booth to sit in (it took 40 minutes), but then, just as I stupidly thought the matcha latte might one day arrive from the baristas before I died of old age, a dude came along & told her (nicely, at least) that he had reserved said booth. So much for that. Apparently, this is a thing - you can buy a membership if, for some reason, you WANT to pay $23 for the privilege of coffee & cookies & make a habit of coming here. Clearly, I'm not lining up for THAT supposed privilege.)
Two ladies vacated the bar just then, so we sat ourselves down (well, my guest did - I still had to wait for the godforsaken matcha latte that I already regretted ordering) beside their half-empty wine glasses (maybe they got tired of the endless noise & jostling from strangers - it can't bode well that they didn't even finish their drinks!)
As for the ambience, well, good luck hearing your friend speak in this insanely loud cafe. The ambience is about what you'd get at a zoo food court, which is full of crowds &, occasionally, seagulls. But at least at the zoo you can watch animals. Here you're just watching crowds of people. I'll take the zoo animals any day over the cafe.
To make matters worse, the matcha latte was not even lukewarm (& I was not going to battle that double line-up to tell the barista) so we did our best to savour the treats considering their astronomical pricetag. I couldn't wait to leave. This place is AWFUL. Crappy food, uninspired menu, cold'hot' drinks, $7 cookies, super loud voices, nowhere to sit, crowds endlessly jostling you.... I could go on. ONLY the architecture is worth seeing! But guess what: you can go in, snap a picture, & then leave - I highly recommend that you find a different place to actually enjoy a coffee. This place is TERRIBLE.
Un café dans le cadre atypique d'une ancienne banque.
Le lieu est magnifique, le service correcte mais cher, & très long … il faut être prêt à faire une longue file d'attente ! Les multiples publications sur les réseaux en font un endroit iconique, un must…
Mais devenu trop touristique, on en perd le charme 😢

Excellent cafe. Great tasting Matcha latte & cafe latte. Only complaint is they were comparatively small to other cafes in the Old Montreal area. Breakfast sandwich was good. Fairmont bagels available was a nice bonus. The building is truly the highlight of the experience. Unbelievable converted bank.
What a special place! The most beautiful architecture! Such a fine use of a gorgeous unique place...a true gem...but NOT if you have mobility issues...stairs only..or a very complicated procedure to get to a lift in some round about way that is unmarked...best latte I've had in awhile!
Service is fast. Got a latte & all I could taste was milk. Tried the dulce de leche & pecan cookie & it wad amazing. The place is very nice & has lots of seating.
