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.
Nous avons demandé 2 espressos, nous avons reçu une cup remplie à 1/4, en plus d'être à peine remplie, l'espresso était imbuvable avec un goût très acidulé, je ne recommande pas, les appearances sont souvent trompeuses
I'd never expect in my life waiting more than 40 minutes for a sandwich… the long line & wait time for the food completely ruined the experience. This is the second time I come here, & I'd recommend to order coffee & pastries ONLY it will be much faster. I believe they're pretty understaffed for the kitchen.

Grand, warm & inviting coffee shop perfect for breakfast & lunch/brunch. It's located in a prime spot on Rue St Jacques so it seems to be a favorite of the business crowd.
We went for breakfast & found the coffee & croissants to be just right for a cold, snowy December morning!
The barista was super sweet & the coffee was great. That being said, I ordered a breakfast sandwich (which is basic in my opinion) & it was really disappointing. The bread was bland & the overall was not very flavorful.

The place is beautiful. The coffee is great. Hot chocolate not good. Pastries average. It's loud that you can't really sit for too long. But the building in itself is a vibe.
I visited Crew Collective Cafe in Montreal for the first time yesterday. The space is huge & impressive, with a calm atmosphere that makes you slow down. I ordered coffee & enjoyed sitting there for a while. It's a great spot if you like spacious cafes & quiet time. I would visit again.
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.
Considering the publicity Crew receives from being at the top of every list of study spots in the city, I find that their ban on laptops in most of the cafe to be a surprise. If they don't want people working outside of their pay-by-hour private rooms, that's their perogative. However, it might be more effective to advertise that more openly than just placing a sticker on every second table in both sections. After being asked to move, I did walk around a bit to find a new seat, but couldn't find any that seemed to be exempt from the laptop rule. Good coffee & fast service, but decide what kind of cafe you want to be 🤷?♀?
