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.
I loved the old architecture & cozy vibe of Crew Café - it's such a stunning space! Honestly, I expected the coffee to be just okay since places like this are often overrated, but it was surprisingly really good. The only downside was the long line, though the service was impressively fast considering how many people were there. Definitely worth a visit!

The beautiful architecture & soaring ceilings are worth a visit just for their beauty. The remainder of the cafe is equally impressive, utilizing bank teller windows & counters for the counterspace. The seating area is plentiful, with polite notes to enjoy your food & the ambiance without setting up workstations. The breakfast was fine, but to be honest - it wasn't really the point of the visit. An absolute gem. I can't wait to return to experience it again.
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. 🤷?♀?

Collective Crew Café is such a beautiful spot! The architecture & interior design are stunning - bright, modern, & full of charm. I ordered a matcha latte & a pastry, & both were excellent. The matcha was perfectly balanced, & the pastry was fresh & buttery. The staff were so friendly, & the whole place has such a calm, welcoming vibe. A perfect café to relax, work, or just enjoy the beautiful space!
Très belle endroit, parcontre on a du partir parce qu'apparament un nouveau règlement est arrivé la même journée; pas le droit de travailler en dehors des espaces vitré. Les espaces etait plein donc nous avons du se dépêcher a finir de manger & partir.. Dommage.
Croissants were great & the building was amazing. Wasn't too busy when we went at about 8:30am on Saturday. Lady who took our order at the till was very friendly & kind. We ordered 2 drinks & chocolatines.
Unfortunately the lady wearing glasses, making & handing out drinks was being quite rude to people for no reason. When she called our name, my wife went up & got the first drink from our order, when she got there the lady rolled her eyes & said she had been calling out our name for ages. It was quite quiet in there so, either she hadn't, or had been calling very softly.
I then went up when I thought I heard her call our name for our second drink, she said it had already been picked up. I said that we picked up one & we're still waiting for the other. She rudely asserted that we had only ordered one drink. I told her we ordered 2 drinks. She again rolled her eyes & huffed before getting out the order sheet only to realise that we had in fact ordered 2 drinks, & it was them that made the mistake. She still made it seem like my fault & in an annoyed (at me) tone, said I should have been given it at the till. No apology given.
Why work in customer service if you can't even be polite to people just trying to enjoy a drink.
C'est une superbe place pour aller travailler ou prendre un café. Attention, vous risquez d'être distraits par la beauté du plafond en ogive & des ornementations dorées qui couvrent les murs! Sinon, il y a une file d'attente pour commander à manger, & le service ne se fait pas aux tables. Si vous voulez travailler, entrez dans la salle au fond à gauche, les tables de la salle principale n'autorisent pas les ordinateurs.
