Café Bloc

J'ai pris un cours débutant et j'ai adoré mon expérience! 😀 Tout le personnel était sympathique et la personne qui a donné le cours était super compétente et à l'écoute. Je n'avais jamais fait fait d'escalade auparavant et j'ai pu participer au cours sans problème. Pour un cours de 3 heures avec un petit groupe je trouve que le prix était bien. Merci!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Café Bloc for making my short trip to Montréal (Fri–Mon for a friend’s birthday) so unforgettable. From the start, the vibe was so warm and welcoming— the staff were incredibly kind, and the community made it so easy to connect, talk, and share the experience. The route setting was creative and fun, with challenges that kept me smiling the whole way through. I also really appreciated the variety of footwear and applications available— honestly, way beyond what I’m used to at my home gym. There was one staff member in particular who stood out: she was dressed in white, had short hair, tattoos, and a nose piercing. She went above and beyond helping me with beginner footwear, giving solid advice, and patiently going back and forth to get the right sizes. I felt bad for making her run around so much, but she did it with such kindness, and it really made a difference in my experience. I wish I had caught her name so I could thank her properly. This was my very first time here, and I can genuinely say it was one of the highlights of my trip. I’ll definitely be back in the future— Café Bloc has set the bar so high for what a climbing community should feel like. Thank you again for everything !!

Une équipe accueillante et une ambiance chaleureuse. Un must si tu fais de la grimpe et que tu passes par Montreal!

Cafe Bloc is my favorite bouldering gym so far. They offer drinks and snacks, and the general ambiance is amazing ! There are quite a lot of walls and levels for everyone. I love that they have two areas for stretching and a mini gym with weights and bars. The place looks clean and cozy, with plants and paintings on the wall, some sofas to lounge while you rest or watch other people climb. I would recommend trying their oat milk lattes ! They also have a terrasse on the roof with one extra wall during summer and some chairs and hammocks. Like in most bouldering gyms, people are very friendly and helpful. ❤️ They have nice showers and a small locker room. Great shoes selection. One of my favorite things is their shared sauna. It's the reward after the session ! I think every gym should have one !

Very cool place and very cool people. My 10 year old daughter had lots of fun. One more reason for us to visit montreal again.

Pretty cool gym with an outdoor rooftop section and a wide range of boulders. Their matcha is decent

The route setting used to be varied - including old school style, highly technical climbing - now it seems to be mostly huge coordination moves, all dynamic and "instragramable" problems… lots of people filming themselves.. miss the old route setting!
