We didn't get any drinks but if you are making candles, the drinks and food are 10% off. Definitely recommend booking online!

I'm not sure why there are so few reviews for Memento (this one appears to be number 3). Maybe it's…read morea little too far off the beaten path? Maybe its customers and fans want to keep it a secret? Regardless, I'm very glad to have found it. It has a fun combination of eclectic plus great beer. There several places to order beer inside, and each has a distinct atmosphere. Their beer list is satisfyingly large and varied, including... a beer featuring kimchi ?!?! (I didn't get it because I immediately gravitated to a stout, I regret not having gotten at least a sample.) The inside area (it was too chilly to sit outside) features a variety of types of tables, plus 2 dartboards, two ping-pong tables (and a coin operated ping pong ball dispenser, which really isn't needed), and a number of classic arcade games. It's very easy to lose track of time here. My group loved our time here, and it's definitely on our list of places to return.

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 :(

After that you can pick your paint colours and there is a helpful chart showing you what the colours will look like once your product is glazed. There is also lots of helpful information on painting technique and style. Once you settle in with all of that, you can order drinks and food and it is the most enjoyable way to spend an afternoon or evening. I highly recommend and it's a surprise when you go back a week later to pick up your creation! You pay by the hour and per item.

Service is very friendly! We were more satisfied with the painting part of the experience. We were guided through the process as soon as we were seated. We were told to head upstairs to pick what we wanted to paint, and they have a lot of options of ceramics to pick from! I picked a rabbit and was advised to layer the paint on several coats to get the best effect later. Which means you spend a few hours here so take time out accordingly. It's a nice place to just relax and paint, however it's a little pricey. Also once you are done, they take your painted ceramic for a week to glaze and fire it in the kiln. May not go here again, but for a one time thing, it was a fun experience.

The tables are large, in case you want to study or work. I ordered several cookies and a cold brew. The cookies were amazing, I shared them between some friends and no crumbs were left alive. The cold brew was just okay, not amazing but good enough. The space for pottery is large and while I haven't taken a class, I would love to do that in the future. Overall, a great coffee place to visit and support

I visited with a foodie friend on an early Sunday afternoon for brunch and we were really satisfied. It got a bit busy but I managed to get a good table before the rush came in. The menu is simple but they have many good choices. I got the grilled cheese and it was delicious. I also got to try the soup of the day, it was bell pepper and carrot, it was also amazing. Came with little croutons and bread. We also got a piece of banana, coffee, and peanut butter cake. Pretty good for a vegan cake. It wasn't dry and the peanut butter icing was just sweet enough. I had a cold mochaccino with coconut milk and it was ok, I really don't like coffee that much though so maybe that's why I didn't love it. I thought it was bitter still even though there was only a bit of coffee in it. I needed a bit of caffeine to kick start my Sunday and that's why I got it. What I really like about this cafe is that they offer pottery classes in the building over. We could see the class while we ate, it looked fun! They also sell the creations of some of their Montreal artists in store. Service is also very nice and they are very friendly when answering questions about the menu.

This is a fantastic studio and Bojana is amazing! What I love about this studio is: - Variety of clay options - porcelain, speckled, black - Variety of glaze options - 40+ colours of over glaze and under glaze. - Warm welcoming atmosphere & positive vibes - Great teachers and students - Proximity to Fabre metro - Very reasonable prices for classes and open studio, both of which come with 1/2 lb of clay, firing, and glazing. If you're looking for a new hobby or place to continue an old one, look no further, Atelier Forma is for you.

After our discussion, I promptly signed up for an 8-week wheel throwing session. In the span of 2 months, I learned how to wedge clay, create cups, bowl and plates, trim and glaze my pieces. It was challenging, yes, but the feeling I got when I held my finished product was more than worth it. What set this studio apart was its philosophy to push students to explore their creativity. We were taught the basics, but after that the sky was the limit. Bojanna, the owner and teacher, was incredibly patient with us and had boundless, contagious energy. In addition to teaching and making beautiful pottery, she also hosts various arts and crafts classes at the studio. Spots sell out fast so I would advise to sign up to the newsletter if you're interested in trying this out. I loved my experience so much that I've already signed up for their open studios!
