Welcome to Lounge Alt Ottawa, a charming cafe located at 185 Slater St. in the heart of Ottawa. This isn’t just your average coffee shop; it’s a cozy haven perfect for unwinding with friends, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by an inviting atmosphere that strikes a delightful balance between relaxation and social engagement. With ample seating options and a variety of games available, you’ll find the perfect spot to settle in—whether that’s a comfy chair for a casual meeting, a table for a friendly game of cards, or a nook for some solo reading.

Lounge Alt Ottawa is not just about ambiance; it’s about the experience. Customers rave about the superb quality of beverages, particularly the Chai Latte, which has been described as one of the best in the city by local patrons. The attention to detail in crafting these drinks ensures that each sip is a delightful blend of spices and warmth, making it the perfect companion to your time spent here.

For those looking for a quick snack or light meal, the cafe offers a selection of hot and cold drinks alongside tasty food and snacks. It's an ideal stop for a midday pick-me-up or an evening treat after a long day. As Ramsey mulbah mentions, it's a great place to grab a bite in a setting that’s never too busy or loud, allowing you to enjoy your food in peace.

What makes Lounge Alt truly special is the community feel cultivated by the friendly staff. Many customers, like Pooyan Zamanian, highlight the kind service they’ve received, enhancing the welcoming environment. It’s not just about grabbing a coffee; it’s about feeling at home and valued as a guest.

Lounge Alt is perfect for late-night work sessions too, with hours that cater to those who require a little more flexibility. While the cafe has a relaxed vibe, be mindful that the wifi is available only for hotel guests. However, Al Sam’s experience illustrates adaptability—many patrons use their mobile hotspots without a hitch to stay connected while enjoying the cafe's offerings.

This cozy enclave is truly a gem in Ottawa, where you can enjoy good company, delicious drinks, and a low-key atmosphere all at once. Whether you’re looking for a place to work, unwind, or connect, Lounge Alt Ottawa is definitely worth a visit.

Love this cozy spot to come and spend time with friends and co-workers! The atmosphere and seating is wonderful and there is usually plenty of options for seats. They also have games ! Their Chai Latte is one of my favourites in the city. Hours are also fantastic.

This Lounge is very relaxing. Never too busy or too loud. Both cold and hot drinks and food/snacks if you want to grab a bite. They also have a pool table a d a bartender.

Great little place, super friendly staff, some electrical outlets, open late. It was nice to work from a coffee shop at a time when most other coffee places are closed. Although, wifi is only available for guests of the hotel. I do understand why, but I'd love to have access to the wifi as a client who purchases drinks. It wasn't an issue for me because I used my phone for hotspot, but beware if you depend on wifi! That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars.
