Frequently asked questions.

A coffee-coworking space is a hybrid between a traditional café and a coworking space. You walk in as you would in a café, but the layout and atmosphere are designed for work.

The difference lies in the payment model: you don't pay for what you consume, you pay for the time you spend. During your stay, hot and cold drinks, snacks, wifi, sockets, services and meeting rooms are all included.

It's the concept Anticafé popularised in France back in 2013.

When you arrive, we note your time. When you leave, we calculate the time elapsed. The rate is €6 for the first hour, then pro-rata, capped at €29 beyond 5 hours for the full day.

If you arrive at 2pm and leave at 5pm, you pay about €18. If you arrive at 9am and leave at 7pm, you pay €29 — not a cent more. No surprises when it's time to leave.

Traditional coworking spaces run on a monthly subscription, usually between €200 and €500 per month. A coffee-coworking space works with no mandatory subscription, on a pay-as-you-go basis.

No commitment: you come when you want, leave when you want, and only pay for the time actually spent. Everything is included in the price — drinks, snacks, wifi, services.

No. You can come like any other customer: no prior registration, no membership card, no contract.

To make your next visits easier, it's useful to create an account on our app — free, with no commitment. It lets you book in advance and access our offers. But it's in no way mandatory.

Everything you consume and use on site: all hot drinks (coffees, lattes, teas, hot chocolates…), all cold drinks (filtered water, juices, lemonades).

Also included: high-speed fibre wifi, power sockets at every seat, office services (printer, scanner), access to meeting rooms on booking, and our welcome.

What's not included: full meals and optional services such as private hire.

Yes, in most cases. Anticafé works on a free-access principle, like a regular café.

It can be wise to book during exam periods (May–June, December–January), for a meeting room, or if you come in a group of more than 4 people. Booking is available on our app in a few clicks.

Our rates are deliberately simple: €6 for the first hour, then pro-rata, capped at €29 beyond 5 hours for the full day.

For regular use, weekly and monthly passes are available, as well as student rates. The exact rates are shown on the Bordeaux and Strasbourg pages.

Yes. On presentation of a valid student card, you benefit from preferential rates.

For professionals and freelancers, personal prepaid cards reduce the effective hourly cost. For companies, our prepaid cards let your employees access the Anticafé network — a single invoice, no individual subscription.

For groups of 5 people or more, contact us in advance so we can welcome you smoothly.

Yes. We offer partial or full private hire for corporate seminars, professional evenings, workshops, training sessions, film shoots or private events.

Our venues in Bordeaux and Strasbourg each have their own capacity and specifics. The price depends on the date, the duration and the services you want.
