Le Loft Café-Coworking

I came in to enjoy a coffee & check my emails for half an hour or so, only to be told I wasn't allowed to open my laptop. As a professional in my thirties, I found it insulting to be treated as though I were trying to take advantage of the place rather than simply being a paying customer. I wasn't planning to occupy a table all day-just enjoy my coffee & answer a few emails.

Apparently, there's a coworking space upstairs, but it's currently closed. So I'll simply take my coffee & leave. I understand discouraging people from turning a café into an all-day office, but this feels unnecessarily rigid & unwelcoming

Edit: je change la note en raison de la réponse rapide des proprios & leur volonté d'accommoder les clients

Je remettrais plus les pieds ici.
Je me suis présentée à 8h30 am pour faire du teletravail . Ca ouvrait à 9 am que la fille au petit dep m'a dit. Alors. Jai attendu 25 min au petit dep en mangeant un croissant ( on m'a clairement mentionné de pas ouvrir le laptop au petit dep. ) à 8h50 je monte en haut au loft. 9h05 cest encore fermée. 2 filles montent & de ce que je comprends cest que l'employée ne s'est pas presentée au travail. Elles descendent
Font des appels. Remontent. & me disent que le loft est fermé pour la journée ( car ils sont short staff l' été) mais que je peux travailler au petit dep. Je répond que le son est très fort au petit dep ( espérant quil vont accommoder & réduire le son pour la journée). Elle merepond : oui. Cest ca l'ambiance au petit-dép ( contrairement au loft ). Mais que je peux payer 10$ heure pour avoir une salle privée. .... non merci. manque d'organisation. Communication. En arrivant a 8.30 . On m'avait pas dit que ce serait fermé. Jai pris mes affaires & mon laptop & je suis partie au crux cafe . Moins compliqué. Un bon 40 minde perdu.

I came here thinking that I could spend the day working because, after all, it is a'coworking cafe', happy to find a place where I could get coffee & bring my own lunch. In fact, I would happily pay $20 for the right to do this.

& yet... Some things that make this impossible:
1. You can only use your laptop upstairs, not in the cafe (which is much nicer & what they're using on all the promo pictures).
2. You cannot bring your own food anywhere on the premises. Not even in the coworking area.
3. The wifi quality is not great.
4. The coffee is really quite bad.

I literally had a conversation with the person at the desk where I said'so essentially I am paying $7 to open my laptop upstairs' & she was like'yes basically'.

Lol no thanks.

It's one of my favorite cafes in Montreal! The staff is so nice, coffee is pretty good & the vibe is immaculate!!

This is a gorgeous quiet space that is absolutely ideal for a chunk of high concentration work. I come from a distance on the bus just to get here. The $7 entry fee for the day is more than fair given the unique experience. Wishing you all the best!

Je suis passé aujourd'hui. Je trouve ça pronfondément insultant de me faire charger 5 ou 7$ pour le'bénéfice' d'y être, sans même savoir si la nourriture & le café seront bons.
