Looking for a chill cafe where I can study in Mile End

[justjay26]

Any suggestions please?

If you live in area... it's pretty easy to figure out which places are chill or not. Does the quality of the coffee matter or do you just want a cafe that'll let you hang out all day?

I'll be traveling from near Sherbrooke and St Laurent. Coffee is important as I like to hang out at St-Henri on Notre Dame. Great espresso and they roast their beans on the spot.

Well, since you enjoy great coffee and Saint-Henri, you might enjoyed Saint-Henri's big brother, Caffe in Gamba (Parc, noth of Fairmount st). One of Montreal's best coffee place, and my purveyor of beans. But it can get busy, so not the quietest place to study.

Neve on Rachel (not as far as mile end) and Cafe In Gamba on park are the cousin and mother of St. Henri, respectively. They are also worth testing.

I like Voro on Fairmont, corner of Jeanne Mance, just west of Arts Cafe. It has both caffeine and food options, with proper tables and chairs, and relatively good lighting. And I find it unpretentious, which can be kind of rare in the Mile End. Closes at 10 pm, if I recall correctly. Only had their teas and coffees, so I can't vouch for the food however.

Perfect. Have never been there. My friend loves Olympico so we re always there for late eve coffees. Unpretentious is right up my alley as well.

I've never figured out Voro. In its prior incarnation it was a cafe. Now it seems to be primarily a restaurant.... As such I'd feel like a jerk if I was taking up a table at dinner hours just to have a coffee while I study. But maybe it rarely gets busy enough for that to be a problem..

Mile end certainly has no shortage of cafes...
EM Cafe
Arts Cafe
Cafe Falco
Cagibi
Olimpico (are they internetted??)
Le Depanneur Cafe
... and probably a dozen others within the parc-st. laurent boundaries.

Thanks for the great choices! I will venture to Mile End and check them out.
