One of the many anticafes in Montreal. I stopped by to get some work done and I'm so glad I gave this place a try! It's so much coooler than a library, and much more cozy and welcoming than a cafe. If you've never been to one, it's basically paid per hour, with a max rate per day, and all coffee and drinks and snacks are included! Plus they have free wifi (of course). When you go in, theres a shelf full of slippers and even crocs for you to wear, so their place stays clean and your feet stay comfy! There's lots of soft couches, or dining tables, or theres a high table/ledge with stools facing outside, and lots more. The decor is full of interesting vintage objects, and lots of cute green plants. Very quirky and full of character. There's blankets and board games around too! They have another floor with more seating as well, but I didn't venture upwards. The snacks are pretty simple but tasty and with a good variety. Theres cookies and biscuits, carrot sticks, tortilla chips, rice crackers, hummus (homemade), gumdrops, mini oreos, bread/PB/Jam and more. They also have a panini press if you want to make a grilled cheese sandwich! The coffee is included too and you can ask the staff to make you a fancy drink, or they have just plain coffee as well, with milk, creamer, almond milk, and soy available. Their tea selection is very impressive with lots of options. Most are loose leaf, and they have these little teabags you can fill yourself. Their only rule is for you to wash your dishes when you're done! I like how they are quite eco friendly, as they minimize on packaging and disposable dishware, and they have compost as well. The staff are very friendly and approachable, and I really liked the general ambiance of.the place. I think I'd definitely come here quite often if I lived downtown! *note: this place is located upstairs, so not wheelchair accessible unfortunately :(

I saw many people going into this place at around 6pm on a Saturday night so decided to check it out for myself. Firstly, the entrance is easy to miss as its just a narrow door with no windows, which lead to an even narrower steep flight of stairs - really uncomfortable. Once upstairs, there is another set of doors, that opens out (onto the staircase) and really require both to be opened in order to even fit through (definitely would not pass building Code). Inside it was super crowded as the registration area is right in front of the door so creates traffic; I know it is a 'shared workspace' area and I am sure it could have been very cosy as a cafe, but it was more like a secret hidden hang-out spot where barely one person can fit through the corridor at a time. The snacks and kitchen are shared by all, again everyone touching the same utensils etc in a very cramped space. Overall, it is an extremely tiny and narrow layout with lots of little 'booth' rooms and full of people - forget social distancing here, it was like the total opposite. I felt suffocated almost instantly and wanted to leave. Enter at your own risk!

This is a MUST TRY if you are ever in the Montreal area. I saw this on Instagram and I'm sure lots…read moreof other people did since the place was very busy. Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

I stumbled upon this gem around the corner from my hotel under less-than-ideal circumstances--we…read morewere heading out at the crack of dawn for a 13-hour tour to Quebec City, and my hotel's breakfast (promised at 6 AM) was MIA at 6:20. Panic mode. Thankfully, this place saved the day with its warm and inviting ambiance. We grabbed coffees and croissants, and the owner was quick and efficient, getting us sorted in no time. Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all. I'm in Vieux Montreal for a few more days and will definitely be back.

Melk is next to a parking lot entrance. The emplane very friendly and enjoy what they do. This is not Starbucks with one gallon size cups and 100 sugar Syrups. But they have great lattes, and Banian's mocha lattes which are packed with caffeine and not overly sweet. Just how I like them. I'm not a muffin man, but when on Montréal breakfast is "continental". I asked if they had anything with apple in it. The server suggested apple carrot muffin. OMG! It was perfect. It was more of an apple muffin with a few chunks of carrot, which is perfect for me. See the photo below. It has huge soft pieces of ! The muffin was extremely moist. Amazing. It gets a line quickly in the morning before 9:00, but passes fast.

Very cool little shop, nice ambiance, cool merch if you're looking for nice coffee themed gifts, and a friendly staff (especially since I don't speak French). I decided on the Dulce De Leche Latte for me and my wife and they were very good so good went back twice. One of the things that blew our mind was the Everything Bagel Scone it was delish and is a definite must try. Full of flavor, nice crunchy outside, cream cheese and bread in the middle was soft and perfect. They do have other selections of scones, croissants, and muffins as well but that Everything Bagel was boom. This shop is a definite must go to if in the area and I totally recommend it.
