Whether you’re looking for a romantic date spot, or simply one of the best cups of coffee in town, this Old Montreal gem tucked inside one of the city’s most stunning historic buildings will take your breath away.
The word grand doesn’t even begin to cover it.
We’re talking about 50-foot ceilings, intricate marble inlay, and an abundance of custom, gleaming brass details: this lavish café in Old Montreal perfectly blends Gilded Age elegance with third-wave coffee, delivering some of the most romantic vibes in the city.
With countless outstanding cafés in Montreal, we’ve indulged in our fair share (with a few pastry detours, of course), and can confidently say Crew Collective Café, a gem near the Old Port, stands out as the most stunning of them all.
The entrance to the 12,000-square-foot space feels like a neoclassical cathedral.
Picture glamorous vaulted coffered ceilings, lofty archways, romantic staircases, brass chandeliers and burnished gold touches everywhere.
Originally the Royal Bank of Canada in the 1920s, Crew Collective Café is where sipping an espresso below an ornate painted plaster ceiling is elevated from an ordinary to an extraordinary moment.
And we haven’t even talked about the food, featuring local classics (hello, Fairmount bagels).
