Foil Gallery est une cafe galerie qui fusionne cafe et art dans un espace industriel épuré, où les oeuvres en rotation et un véhicule vintage en vitrine donnent une atmosphere unique et photogénique. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme calme, chaleureuse et inspirante, ideale pour travailler ou se detendre tout en découvrant des expositions, avec un design soigné et une immersion artistique marquée. Le concept attire les amateurs d'art et de design, mais les avis sur le rapport qualité prix varient: des boissons originales comme le latte a la pêche ou le matcha latte peuvent etre réussies, mais les patisseries sont parfois decevantes et les prix peuvent sembler eleves, surtout lorsque le pourboire est preleve dès le passage en caisse. Le service est parfois loue pour sa cordialite, mais d autres critiques signalent une attitude parfois froide ou elitiste et une ambiance qui peut sembler influencee par la frequentation d'influenceurs. Certains aspects pratiques reviennent aussi: l'espace peut manquer pour s asseoir, les parfums diffusés peuvent etre forts et l'offre alimentaire manque parfois de variete, mais le lieu reste percu comme spectaculaire et tres instagrammable, invitant a revenir pour l'immersion artistique et la beaute du cadre.
Might be the best matcha in the city! Super cool space, incredibly high quality matcha, & they host cool events.
Some of the speciality drinks are a bit expensive however the drinks are also incredibly high quality so it feels worth it. The staff are always so kind as well!
I visited the FOIL Gallery during my trip to Montreal & really enjoyed the experience. The space is small but thoughtfully curated, which makes it easy to take your time & appreciate each piece without feeling overwhelmed.
The gallery has a modern & creative vibe, with works that feel fresh & interesting. I liked how everything was presented-it all felt intentional & well put together.
They also offer drinks, which was a nice touch. It made the visit feel more relaxed & social, & added to the overall atmosphere while walking through the space.
It's not a huge gallery, but that's part of the charm. It's a nice, quiet stop if you're exploring the city & want to see something a bit different.
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.
I really like the concept & atmosphere of this café - it's unique & visually interesting. However, the menu could definitely be stronger. The seasonal drinks are usually quite limited, even though the quality of the beverages is excellent. When it comes to pastries, it's unfortunately disappointing, especially for a café that focuses solely on drinks. A bit more variety in pastries would make a big difference.
The weakest point, though, is usually the staff. They're not particularly friendly or customer-oriented, & there's always this slightly heavy, unwelcoming vibe - even though the team has changed several times, the attitude somehow remains the same, which almost feels intentional. The interior can look beautiful at times, especially with the vintage Porsches on display, but other times it feels a bit too empty.
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.

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.
This place has more hype than substance for the moment. The atmosphere is very cool & trendy. The warehouse café, gallery is an intriguing concept. The dim lighting in the bathroom is more challenging than vibe-y. The drinks are of average quality for prices that are on the higher end. The place is teeming with influencers. Careful to not trip over a tripod! A great spot for burgeoning anthropologists.
This is a great spot to relax & enjoy a good drink! The atmosphere was welcoming & enjoyable. My only drawback was the strong scent of essential oils being diffused-it was overpowering to the point that our heads started hurting after an hour, & we left with the scent lingering on us. A more subtle fragrance would make the experience even better.
