Super cozy café-boutique in the Mile End, perfect for lunch, cookies, a glass of wine, coffee, reading, or getting some work done. You'll love the color palette there, and there's even a tattoo shop in the back! I recommend the Chai latte (cold) and the delicious Pastel Salad.

Le Petit Dep

300 rue de la Montagne

Le LOFT｜Café-Coworking｜Griffintown

@hoacha

My favorite spot for getting work done in MTL! Laptops aren't allowed everywhere, so you have to go up to Le LOFT. This spacious coworking space offers the same great amenities, menu and décor as downstairs. The hibiscus iced tea and salads are delicious. And while you're there, don't miss the Imaginarium museum in the basement for some memorable selfies and pictures.

@hoacha

The Café des Arts is located inside the Bonsecours Market. If you're lucky, you'll get a high table by the window, and you can work with a view of the big Ferris wheel.

This place is lovely and very popular! It can get crowded during peak hours, so I recommend going in the morning to work. The food is outstanding!

Crew Collective

360 rue Saint-Jacques

Crew Collective & Cafe

@hoacha

Crew Collective and Café is located in the former Royal Bank of Montreal. If you've been to NYC, it looks a bit like Grand Central Station! You can pay to access a booth, but anyone is welcome to grab a hot drink and work in the common area. They also have bookable meeting rooms and private workspaces for members.

Le Bar Darling

Le Bar Darling

@hoacha

Great décor! It’s a café during the day and transforms into a bar at night. The crowd changes, and the atmosphere gets more lively as the evening progresses.

Want to work outside on a sunny summer day? You totally can! In the warmer months, Montreal has shared workspaces set up outdoors. There are 40 "Ilots d'été" spread across the city, all with Wi-Fi, power, shade, and seating. Enjoy the fresh air while you work! Just grab a coffee to-go from a nearby café and settle in.
