Foil Gallery blends a cool minimal cafe with a rotating art gallery in a bright industrial space where the presentation of works feels intentional and the drinks are high quality, especially the matcha and other coffee drinks that reviewers praised; the atmosphere is described as welcoming, stylish and conducive to lingering and conversation, and the space is seen as a standout for art lovers and design enthusiasts, though some guests find the pastries limited, the prices a bit high, and a few interactions with staff less warm; overall Foil Gallery comes across as a unique destination where art, cafe culture and a thoughtfully curated layout combine to create a memorable visit.
If you're looking for a contemporary art gallery/café with true Brooklyn vibes, I've got just the spot for you: Foil Gallery.
Between Mile End & Little Italy, this raw industrial space mixes art, café & bar. Founded by FVCKRENDER & Jo-Anie Charland, it's where Montreal's creative energy comes alive.

The place is beautiful & very brutalist. The art & setting is elevated; the place is really a one of a kind. A bit shocked by a $8.50 pre tax matcha latte but a fair price considering the experience. The immersive art experience is a wonderful touch btw. I didn't have the influencer infestation issue as we went on a quiet Sunday. As for the wall art, it' nice but it could be a bit more diverse & reminds me of Abercrombie & Fitch circa 2010.
Super bel endroit à découvrir. Personnel à l'écoute (m'a offert de l'aide pour m'aider avec ma fille, vu j'avais les mains pleine).
Café délicieux & bel endroit où passer du beau temps & sans la foule des autres cafés.

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.
Superbe concept café & galerie d'art. Le Latte crème de pêche était vraiment bon & original 😍Nous avons cependant été très déçus du service, on aurait clairement dit que l'on dérangeait le monsieur qui a pris notre commande. Mon amie qui m'a recommandé cette place à elle aussi eu le même sentiment lorsqu'elle était venue quelques semaines plus tôt. C'est dommage que des employés peu souriants/serviables vient entacher l'expérience.
