The space is spacious, quiet, and has a great vibe. The Wi-Fi also seemed fast, making it a great spot to get some work done. I had the flat white, and my wife had a decaf coffee. We enjoyed both. Definitely worth a visit whether you're looking for a good coffee or a unique place to spend an hour.

After a dandy brunch at Dandy and the striking atrium at the Centre de Commerce Mondial, Jamie W…read moreand I fully expected a Montreal must-experience triple play with this heavily Instagrammed cafe. Housed under the vaunted ceiling of the grand, neo-classical former Royal Bank of Canada building, the cafe, we agreed, was most impressive when we looked upward at the marble and historic detail. It was just when our gazes gravitated toward ground level that we became less entranced. It was a zoo, a triggering tourist vacuum with an endless queue. There was nothing wrong with the attentive staff. What got on our nerves was the complete indifference of entitled customers in front of us, especially families that require constant attention and selfishly barricade every open table. It took us quite a while to find a space for us as we waited for our C$6.47 12-ounce Iced Lattes (Photo 9). It was the first time I saw a surcharge for ice, C$0.22. Anyway, despite the crowds and the middling coffee, it was worth the stop for the architecture. I wondered if the common workspace on the opposite side of the counter was worthwhile for locals. Obviously it meant little to us as tourists. COFFEE - 3.5 stars...rather middling considering the setting...what's with the surcharge for ice? AMBIANCE - 3 stars... historic architecture compromised by the crowds SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty efficient considering TOTAL - 3 stars...worth the stop but probably just once CORRESPONDING REVIEWS Dandy: https://yelp.to/91vXGUrXOo Centre de Commerce Mondial: https://yelp.to/ECo5MJJgGa RELATED - Exploring Montreal?

I've always loved this warm place, where you feel right at home,…read more I've been here 3 times, between December 22 and January 2, when their registration system is down and it's once again impossible to get a bill. a real one, because their printer doesn't work either fr more then 10 days in a row I told them how important it is to give the customer an invoice, not just a debit receipt, especially for tqv and tps numbers. but nothing helped, the printer still doesn't work after more than a week, we have to take a picture of the screen! In December I waited 20 minutes for an invoice, the employee couldn't retrieve one from the system... so I have no proof of my purchase. No follow up was made by email. Also a few electronic power plates don't work, the floor is dirty and there's a lot of sloppiness. even if the holiday season is NOT their biggest period. The place used to be cozy and pleasant, but now it's just too stuffy!

One of the many anticafes in Montreal. I stopped by to get some work done and I'm so glad I gave…read morethis 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 :(

Very nice location: new, clean, and stylish. It's trying to be a WeWork competitor - but it's…read moredifferentiated. It's more quiet, less focused on community, is smaller, but offers larger office spaces for individual companies. This differentiation means, I think, a focus on a different clientele. One that's less focused on the cool factor, one that's prioritizes less distraction, and doesn't need a few of the misc benefits of a WeWork (as much social and within coworking space networking). Both have coffee and beer on tap for free (if that matters). At Workbase is cheaper. It's also currently on at this space - though it hopes to expand. I like both At Workbase and WeWork even though they're different (have spent time with clients at both spaces).

There's NO WAY to access the offices using the elevator. No front desk. And when you book online there's no instructions on how to access the building. Feels like a scam. They just take your money and then don't let you access what you've booked. I'm currently taking my meetings sitting on the floor in the hallway because I needed to start my meetings and there was no one available to help.

I enjoy this place quite a bit. The 3rd and 4th floors are nice with the 3rd floor being more…read morequiet. But I particularly like the 31st floor area in Tower 1. Such amazing views and super quiet. My only real quibble: I wish the 31st floor had the same consumption resources as the other two areas (more meeting rooms, a "trust store" for snacks, and a little beer ;-)). I find working in an open environment where others are also hard at work very motivating. So I'm kinda hooked for now (despite having my own personal office at the university where I'm a prof).

It brings together investors and young start ups into one beautifully renovated expansive building, with shared kitchens, event and demo spaces, lounges with video games, etc. Right now it feels bright white and a little hushed as people just begin to claim the various available corners, drag chairs around and make themselves at home. But you can feel the optimism bubbling even in the empty rooms, like the ground floor restaurant space just waiting to flourish with the right kinds of love. There will be green roofs and shared garden and many many more hackathons and new ideas and encounters to come and I can't wait to see all what happens here at the new Notman!

I find this place very modern (latest office technology equipment) and drinks (beers, coffee and teas) with a fully stocked kitchen (utensils and dishes). This place is in front of Bell Canada, I mean right in FRONT with the logo of the Canadien. There are tons of windows and rooms to work in. The price is not for the ones who are looking to save money, you need the dought to have a place here, 500$ for a seat to be exact. WeWork is growing... You gotta try it to check out the energy of this place!

Independent - and very different - coffehouses in the Montreal area - 1 of 2…read more A hectic transition to Montreal - first arriving at YUL and then on to Centre-Ville - called for a rest - a nap - which then brought on the need for a snack and coffee/tea late at about 11:00 p.m. Looking at the phone didn't provide much in the way of choices, and, at that, a place where one could sit. I looked at the listing for La Graine Brulee more than once and had to think about it. I finally went in. This place is indeed weird. However, it all turned out to be better than I thought. There are all these seating areas, with some on either side of the front door and then several on a circular bench radiating from the center and making for quite a few tables. That's where I sat. Take note that there is also a big wooden cube with a lot of graffiti on it. The service was pleasant. I ordered some hot tea and they made a vegetarian burrito for me at late hours. (There's no way in hell you'll find something with meat or poultry in here.) I'm glad I was able to eat something before turning in. The prices were acceptable for what I got and its location, between 2 and 3 blocks east of the city's main Metro station at Berri-UQAM. In looking around, there was a good cross-section of people. It's more about nearby UQAM (translation: students) than it is "Le Village," which is now mid-rise and high-rise condos ... and the cranes that go into making them. Tables with books and laptops were the norm which, in my mind, is a good thing. Either way, there wasn't anyone over 40 here as far as I could see. That said, I don't know how willing I'd be to go back, unless in the same situation, and I have to joke that I don't know if personae who are middle of the road, and right of that, would like it here. However, if you are cut from the same cloth as the ownership and the other patrons, meaning bohemian and "new age-y," then I would strongly recommend it. I'm talking tribe! I will rate it within that context since they are not looking to serve the "mom, apple pie, and Chevrolet" crowd. Also, being on Saint-Catherine Est might foretell its personality, since Est and Ouest along this major thoroughfare can be two different worlds. However, La Graine Brulee delivered on a (vegetarian) burrito and some hot tea that I needed before turning in and did it well.
