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.

Millenial gray, 8$ latte, 5$filter, 9$ matcha, 5.25$ Cortado...
Why is it so pricey.

We tried the iced matcha latte, iced vanilla latte, iced chai latte, & the iced hibiscus; they were not worth the money. The coffee beans were bitter & sour. The matcha was overpriced. We've tried matcha/coffee from Toronto, LA, New York, & many major hubs in North America. They were all much better & reasonably priced. (For all those commenting this was the best coffee/matcha… please review your tastebuds). The matcha was $13!!! That's an insane price for matcha & the cup wasn't even full. Don't get me started on the 25 cent charge (per drink) if you're getting takeout… newsflash, this isn't BC. The iced chai latte was unbelievably sweet even after adjusting the sugar. At least the girls working there were so sweet (just like that chai latte). We didn't try any pastries so can't really comment on those but the drinks were NOT worth it, don't waste your money! All for supporting small businesses however this was extremely disappointing considering the amount of the good reviews :(

Me & my husband came here on a Sunday. It was lovely the staff were very helpful & super welcoming. Lou & Kieran were very sweet. We tried the iced matcha latte with almond milk , one was butterscotch flavored & the other was salted caramel both were super yummy🥰

The sheer number of tiny beanies in this place was astonishing. The staff were lovely but this cafe is desperately self-aware of itself despite wanting to come off as the opposite. Charging $7 for a latte & then starting off the tip options on the card terminal at 18% should have been a massive red flag. The concrete cafe epidemic is unfortunately really sinking its teeth into Montreal.

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.

Très bon service , bonne ambiance , c'est un 4/5 pour moi uniquement parce que j'ai trouvé le « Matcha latté Pumpkin» un peu chère…

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.

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.
