I came here to study & I usually love this café, but I was really disappointed with my last visit. I paid $7 for my coffee, sat at the'laptops only' communal table for about an hour, & when my laptop needed charging, I plugged it in at another spot. A barista then told me I couldn't sit there with my laptop unless the screen was turned off, even though I wasn't using it & was sitting right beside it. No one had mentioned this rule when I ordered, & the situation felt confusing & unwelcoming. I ended up leaving & felt like my time was wasted.

If you dont want students to come study then tell them before they order!!

Also, the posted winter hours in-store are incorrect on Google it doesn't open until 9 pm,

I got an ice latte & it was really delicious, I visit alot of cafes in Montreal & I have to say, finally seeing a cafe not filled with people on their laptop is amazing.

Alot of people writing reviews of not using laptop to me is pretentious, doing research on a cafe that IS or ISN'T a study cafe is important. Every cafe that I go to is filled with people that study on their laptops for 5 hours a day & occupy seats.

They don't realize how much time they take on a table & space- many cafes I go to I have to walk away because it's filled with people working remote, teleworking & having meeting speaking Loud.

& it was nice to finally read a book in silence. With the sounds of just the coffee being made.

Great cafe, good selection of food as well if you're craving a snack! For those looking to work there they do not have outlets to charge your computer & there is a'no laptop' policy on all tables except the big one in the center. Just make sure your laptop is charged up before going there~
