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!

Previously St. Joseph's Church, the building became a venue for social events. After seeing…read morepictures online, I wanted to see its interior. Then, Harry Potter Yule Ball from the Wizarding World was held here, so I jumped on the occasion to assist to the event. It was a magical experience as this venue was perfect for it.

Temps Libre is a coworking that is run as a coop rather than a business, and it features a…read morecompletely free work space available to anyone - as in totally free, you are welcome to work here without needing to purchase or consume. Feels like a chill industrial warm creative cafe but with a difference: No bill at the end for sharing the space. I was there for a meeting today and just loved the vibe. Members of the coop can have official desk space in the big bright back area lined with windows where lots of socially minded businesses are hatching plans to save the world. In the front rooms, open to all, there is a big communal table and lots of smaller cafe tables, a free mini library, and other techy cool projects by members - like the Manivelle touch screen that connects you to the digital archives of Montreal's libraries! There is a side area with a stage and sound system, perfect for presentations, readings, etc. There is by-donation coffee, and a volunteer receptionist chilling and answering questions. There is an overall vibe of people caring for each other and getting shit done. C'est great.

I didn't stay long as it was not an intended stop but I was SUPER impressed. There is a coworking…read morespace that aids in funding this free shared workspace. They also do rentals, free wifi and a little shop for snacks and 101 office materials. The building has a killer daytime cafe so its the perfect place to study/work if you're looking to escape the usual coffee shop vibe. No sales pressure and a unique/fun decor and layout to encourage those creative juices to flow. The receptionist was very welcoming and more than happy to answer any questions I had. Really wish there was a version of this in my hood!

La Gare is this gorgeous collaborative workspace. I went once for a job interview and it felt like…read moreI was in a startup office. I had the chance to go again for the Yackathon, it was still beautiful and open. I don't really know why I would go if it wasn't for events or meetings though.

You could feel a positive vibe & the friendliness of yelpers & none -yelpers mingling & navigating from one to another. Very useful networking events especially for the developers, engineers & people seeking jobs in technology. Thank you to the Yelp team who came all the way from San Fran, thanks to Risa for organizing this event as well. An overall great opportunity to meet all the peeps

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).

Whatever you DO NOT reserve at this location or really any of them. TERRIBLE customer service. If…read moreyou have an issue NO ONE will help you and you will be handed off from person to person. 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!
