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.
Imagine showing up to a cafe paying 18$ for a grilled cheese & sitting down to do some work & being told you cant be on your laptop because of tourists. Apparently there is a new policy written god knows where that prohibits you from using a laptop or ipad in a certain seating zone. If you want to work you gotta hide behind this curtained off area so you are not caught in a tourists instagram story. Rude & arrogant staff what a shame this place has become.
Stunning building. Utterly shambolic & poor quality service & food.
Ordered 2 drinks, 2 bagels, 2 yoghurt bowls.
Got the drinks at the counter, tepid heat & they went cold very quickly.
Then had to wait an age for the bagels, which came undercooked & pale. These were cheap, or quality & covered in sesame seeds, not advertised. So many that you couldn't see the bagel!
The yoghurt bowls eventually came but by this time the bagels & drinks were cold.
There was so much granola, hardly any fruit or yoghurt, & it was impossible to eat as it was dry.
When you do eat, you eat with wooden spoons, knives & forks & stir your cold drink with wooden spoons stick.
It's a low standard, poor quality food cafeteria which just happened to be set in. Beautiful building.
Give this place a miss & spend your money where the quality is better & you'll get warm food & service with a smile.
Worst place we visited in Montreal.
The two stars are for the building.
Went on a whim at 9am during the week day & the lines were moving fast . There's a lot an entire section behind the counter that had more seating if you don't see anything in the front .
Great coffee , food & ambiance . I enjoyed the chill music playing during the morning rush .
The architecture & aesthetics here are insane. Great vibes, good service & quick as well. I was happy to hear they offer co-working spaces, & they're affordable. Coffee is excellent as well, I looking forward to visiting again soon.
It's a beautiful place, warm, majestic, with a great vibe. I don't understand the recent decision to further restrict the number of places where computers are not allowed. I understand that you want to rent out more booths & leave the seats for your customers.
You should have spaces (individual cubicles) for small groups that could also be rented. In addition, your mobile reservation system with the QR code is really not user-friendly. The screen is very small & jerky. You should make it even simpler. Thank you :)

This is a beautiful place to come & have a coffee. Coffees were very good & the was food was good, but not extraordinary. The ambiance & breathtaking setting is worth it though. Highly recommend to come visit & enjoy the coffee!
Came in expecting an experience, what I got was a luke warm diluted cup of sadness. Probably one of the worst coffees I've had in a while. The steak sandwich didn't even have steak in it? & to top everything I was kicked out of my seat for working on my laptop??? Only redeeming factor of this place is the atmosphere. Would avoid, much better places around
10/10 vanilla latte. Great atmosphere. Loads of different options for tables without laptops, quieter working areas, rentable work rooms, etc. If I lived in Montreal I'd definitely be a regular here
I had the chance to photograph a wedding at Crew Collective, & it's truly a beautiful & elegant venue. The space is full of character & perfect for capturing both intimate moments & grand celebrations. The light, architecture, & atmosphere make every photo come alive. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning backdrop for their special day!
