1. hot people, communal tables, slightly distracting vibes 2. communal tables, no outlets :(, lots of people grinding 3. idk much, heard good things, big tables, front room and back room and backyard 4. this location has tables, the other doesn’t. no outlets, no WiFi, still a top pick. baristas all very friendly :) Honorable mention favs with a no laptop rule: Little Canal & Abraço
Partners is the perfect college cafe vibe. Packed to the brim, but worth it for the cardamom roll and matcha. Nice view of the rain outside too. Like you said, no outlets so you gotta be prepared to mysteriously read in public when your laptop dies
Excellent coffee, gorgeous aesthetics, no wifi/laptops, just vibes and Italian goods with a no-nonsense menu. The baristas WILL hit on you (or is that just my pretty girl privilege?) but will do so in a respectful, sexy way. Best cafe to yap with a pal at in Montreal - the only downside being that it’s located downtown.
If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
