5 Study Spot Cafés in Montreal

5 Study Spot Cafés in Montreal

There is nothing quite like the smell of roasted coffees beans to help jump-start mornings, turn on brain activity, and fire up that laptop. With coffee shops opening up on every corner in Montreal, it’s important to find out which spots accommodate student study sessions and which ones cater more to silent reading.

Below is a suggested list of five café study stops in Montreal to check out.

1. Café Oui Mais Non

72 Rue Jarry East, Montréal Québec.

Can’t decide on whether to stay in and study or venture out and enjoy the outdoors? Oui Mais Non is the perfect café to go sit and contemplate this dilemma. Located on Jarry, right off of Boulevard St. Laurent, Oui Mais Non is the perfect spot to hold your next study session.

Located walking distance from Jarry Park, Little Italy, and The Jean-Talon Market, be sure to treat yourself to all the borough’s amenities after you’ve finished your study session.

2. Café Osmo

51 Sherbrooke Street West, Montréal Québec

Located underneath the historic home of William Notman, this café’s unique architectural layout is sure to inspire any student who has hit a wall. With tons of natural lighting, patio-inspired chairs for deco, and a tasteful modern menu, this café is the perfect study spot for students who seek sleek and modern aesthetics.

3. La Finca Café

1067 Rue de Bleury, Montréal Québec

Owned and operated by two friends, Geneviéve Loigon-Houle and Marie-Laurence Guindon, La Finca Café is a charming café for anyone who longs for the smell of fresh coffee and prefers to be surrounded by earth tones color palettes. La Finca caters to both communal and individual workspaces. For anyone interested in booking private rooms, La Finca offers rates starting from 30$ an hour… coffee and tea included.

4. Café Perko

753 Rue Villeray, Montréal Québec

A sprawling space away from the stresses of downtown, Café Perko is the prime location for students living in the Villeray borough. With ample working space, you can be sure you are avoiding an overcrowded studying spot. Café Perko also has its own conference room which offers an alternative workspace for those studying or working in larger groups.

5. Pikolo Espresso Bar

3418 B. Avenue du Parc, Montréal Québec

Charming, small and intimate. These are the only three words you need to know when talking about Pikolo Espresso. Located just minutes from downtown and the McGill campus, this “tiny” espresso bar is the perfect study spot for students in need of quiet and relaxing surroundings.

With tables that can accommodate no more than a duo, Pikolo Espresso bar is ideal for anyone wishing to do some light reading or finish their English lit paper on the role of women in the 20th-century cannon.

For those of you with similar tastes to mine, I hope you find what you are looking for at these unique Montreal havens.

And if you settle in in one of these great spots, be sure to open your laptop or iPad to check out the Wizeprep study pass, which is a campus- and course-specific subscription to support you with all your McGill or Concordia course materials!
