I knew the place was going to be stylish & I was still blown away! They truly combine industrial design with stylish decor & art tastefully. I'm glad they provide space for festivals such as Montreal Street Photography Festival & building a community around what they do. Their signature matcha while quite expensive was the best one I've ever had. Their coffee game is also up there! Can't wait to be back to try some more.

First time visit to the cafe & gallery last week & I have to say I can't wait to come by again. If you appreciate minimalist design, art, & coffee you'll love this spot. Staff were friendly & the latte I ordered tasted great, no complaints. Milk alternatives available. Inside / outside seating. Although the space is used mainly as a gallery it still felt intimate when sitting down & catching up with a friend over coffee. We also met a sweet pup & their owner that day as well (yes to dog friendly cafes)…it just made the visit a whole lot more memorable.

Love from Vancouver.

Such a cool place, the atmosphere is amazing. The matcha was very green & wasn't overly sweet. The building itself is unique & contains many elements of contemporary art. I would definitely recommend to go here. 10/10.

Really good coffee, matcha, & pastries, alongside jewelry, art, & fragrances. The staff is super friendly. A great way to spend the morning before shopping in mile end!

Hands down the best matcha & cafe I've ever been to. The matcha is incredibly green & smooth - I'm completely addicted to the black sesame iced matcha drink😄. The owners are both artists - both of their beautiful artwork is hanging on the gallery walls, which makes the space feel really special. They also curate the gallery & invite other artists to exhibit on rotation, so there's always something new to see. It's an exciting place to visit, hang out, & enjoy a truly delicious drink.

Very interesting place, appreciate some art while having a good coffee. Can anyone inform me what is the scent you use there?

I love the concept of this place - a café mixed with a rotating gallery. The space is beautifully designed & not overcrowded with art, so it feels intentional & easy to take in. The art on display wasn't totally my thing when I went, but that actually makes me want to come back & see what's next.

Had a latte (~$8) that was fine, nothing special, but the experience is really the main draw here. Definitely worth checking out if you like art, design, or unique spaces.

Service with a smile, great space, interesting art & an immersive room. I had a nice relaxing time with a nice croissant & a matcha latte. I just wished there was more to eat. All pastries were pretty much gone.

Visite lors d'un samedi ensoleillé. Je n'avais pas regardé leur réseaux sociaux le jour même où était annoncé qu'il y avait une boutique éphémère dans le café. Belle expérience. Étant une personne qui suit (de près ou de loin) les projets de FVCKRENDER j'étais emballé de l'ouverture de son café galerie à Montréal.

Je dois dire que l'endroit est magnifique & épuré. J'ai pu voir certaines oeuvres en personnes ce qui était mon objectif premier. Cependant, l'expérience café me laisse perplexe. Le service à la caisse de la jeune femme était froid & peu invitant surtout si on mentionne que leur création café (selon les saisons) peuvent monter à près de 15$ avec pourboire.

L'effet galerie était très limité en raison de la boutique éphémère, il y avait des tables extérieurs, mais peu de mobilier à l'intérieur. Je trouve tout de même intéressant le concept d'une boutique éphémère d'une compagnie montréalaise dans le café.

Somme toutes, je crois important de mentionner que le service & l'ambiance qui peut parfois découlé de l'endroit est quelque peu élitiste. Dans un esprit démocratisation de l'art sous ses diverses formes, ce sentiment peut devenir un frein pour certaines personnes à vouloir passé du temps dans cet endroit. Ma copine m'a vivement décris ce sentiment qu'elle avait ressentis comme si elle n'était pas à sa place.

En résumé, un fan de l'endroit & de l'énergie mise dans la création de ce lieu, mais j'aimerais peut-être voir un peu plus d'attention porté aux clients qui visite l'endroit.
