    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!

    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!
