Best cafes to work from in Montreal

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone wants a cafe where they can sit with a laptop for a few hours. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in Montreal. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Montreal cafes are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 413 cafes in Montreal that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 40 have Wi-Fi recorded and 38 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Montreal cafes have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Café de la 3e, Café Chiado no 28, Café L’Etincelle, Bar Salon and Dreamy all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these cafes stay open late?

La Brassée Café, Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Café Olimpico and La graine brûlée are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these cafes are step-free?

Café Chiado no 28, Bar Salon, La Brassée Café, Starbucks and Tim Hortons are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - wi-fi recorded in openstreetmap, wi-fi is free, power sockets recorded, opening hours published, outdoor seating - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
