I spent about 3.5 hours working here and paid around $20, which I found reasonable for the location. It's conveniently situated near Place des Arts, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable, and I appreciated the complimentary coffee and snacks. That said, I didn't find it to be an ideal environment for focused work. The space is charming and has character, but it felt quite cramped. Many of the tables are small and shared by multiple people, which leaves little personal space. I was seated on what appeared to be repurposed movie theatre seats, which added to the quirky atmosphere but wasn't particularly comfortable for several hours of work. The biggest challenge was the noise level. Because of the close quarters, conversations and even everyday sounds from nearby guests carried easily. At one point, someone sharing my table was chewing and slurping loudly, making it difficult to concentrate. I also found it difficult to locate accessible power outlets, likely due to the layout. Overall, it's a cute and unique spot with good amenities and a great location, but for me it was too tight and noisy to be productive. I personally wouldn't return for a work session, though it could be a reasonable option if you're in the area and need a place to work for a short period.
Nice alternative space to study/co-work and the staff were friendly. Some points of improvement would be the quality of the beverages made and better hygiene system for the food and upkeep of the different rooms/spaces. Otherwise not a bad experience!
Such a fun space. Unlimited lattes is an amazing deal for 22$. I only wish the snacks were healthier. When I was there they only had packaged foods and chips, would prefer some fruits and veggies but understand that it might only be economical when they're in season.
I saw mice twice. The first time in a room on the second floor, and a second time behind the toilet bowl, also on the second floor. It's a shame because I like the place.
I absolutely loved the vibe at Anticafé! it’s so unique and different from your typical coffee shop. The space is super clean, bright, and incredibly spacious, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. On top of that, the staff are so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out, and I will definitely be back for sure!

Open desks may be the ideal choice if you thrive in a collaborative environment and value the opportunity to connect with fellow coworkers. Dedicated desks, on the other hand, provide a designated space with shared community amenities, catering to those who seek a balance between privacy and interaction.
For ultimate focus and private interactions, private offices are best for solo individuals and teams that seek uninterrupted productivity.
Selecting the most suitable workspace for you typically hinges on your work style and preferences, but it can also be determined by the type of work that you do, its duration, and whether you work alone or in a team.
