Foil Gallery blends a cafe with a rotating art gallery in a striking minimalist industrial space, with artworks on display, a classic Porsche on view, and even a temporary shop that some see as part of the experience while others feel it distracts from the cafe vibe. The atmosphere is frequently described as beautiful, calm, and inspiring, making it a popular spot for working, chatting, or simply taking in the art, and drinks such as the peach latte and matcha are often praised for quality, though pastries can be limited and not always fresh. Price and tipping practices are noted by some as high, and service is described as warm in places but occasionally chilly or elitist in others. The concept remains appealing to those who love aesthetics, design, and an immersive space, with many saying the immersive art experience is a standout feature and worth returning for. Some reviewers mention a strong artificial fragrance or essential oils in the air, which can be overpowering for some guests, while others enjoy the scent as part of the ambiance. Overall Foil Gallery is seen as a unique destination for art lovers and design enthusiasts in Montreal seeking a one of a kind environment, where the gallery aspect often outweighs typical cafe expectations, and with varied feedback about staff and practicality depending on the visit.
Very cute aesthetic spot! It was a bummer that they don't offer regular dairy for their coffee (I personally try & avoid milk substitutes since they don't usually contain the best ingredients), there was also a very heavy artificial scent in the air which made it impossible to sit inside. Besides that the decor is really lovely & the people were really nice.
Beautiful art gallery & cafe! They have a beautiful/unique interior with tables to get work done, beautiful outdoor patio to relax, & just outside they have a beautiful community benches & shared spaces. Their coffee drinks are unique & delicious, I would recommend trying their peach latte. Added bonus the cafe smells like a luxury fragrance shop, the barista is super friendly. Slight little down side is that it's a dairy free cafe, but they do have a ton of alternative milks to choose from & I honestly couldn't tell the difference.
A small peach & cream latte priced at 10$ that comes out at 12$ w. taxes + they have the audacity to put the starting tips option at 18% when they don't even bring the coffee to you, yikes. But hey, the decor is nice?

Foil - Montreal
Stopped by Foil & had their Peaches & Cream Iced Latte - absolutely incredible. Perfectly balanced sweetness, creamy texture, & just the right hint of peach that made it refreshing without overpowering the coffee.
The vibe of the space is equally impressive: minimal, bright, & stylish - complete with art on the walls & even a classic green Porsche on display, which made the experience feel unique & memorable. The pastries were fresh & paired perfectly with the drink.
Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend for both coffee lovers & anyone looking for a café with character.
Amazing atmosphere here, with minimalistic interior a beautiful Porche targas, & great staff with wonderful customer service, this is a great spot to come, sit, have a nice coffee maybe a pastry & also take some amazing pictures.
I got the iced latte with oat milk & it was really well made. The staff were super kind & it's usually not that busy.
Visited this place a few times since it opened. The coffee, pastries & mocktails are all amazing. The staff is also super friendly & makes me feel welcome every time.
Hands down my new favourite coffee place in Montreal.
