Our team

Marilee Kim

General Manager

Marilee is Café Bloc’s director. Her passion for climbing and clear vision keep the café moving in new and exciting directions. Without her, Café Bloc simply wouldn’t be the place we love.

Benjamin Ballion

Manager

Ben runs the café. He is the metronome of the team. On top of being a talented barista, he makes sure everyone feels fulfilled and right at home.

Julien Villeneuve

Head route setter

Julien is our head setter. With over 40 years of climbing and 30 years of setting under his belt, he brings all his experience and vision to dress our walls with ever wilder blocs.

Vincent Ferrière

Communications & Events Lead

Vincent is the creative force behind Café Bloc’s image and events. His boundless imagination and talent for capturing moments and telling stories shape the lively, colourful universe that makes our place so unique.

Jérémie Llouquet

Supervisor

Boxer and barista in his spare time, Jérémie is our everyday Swiss Army knife. Between two perfectly crafted coffees he manages group bookings and sponsorship requests with ease. Versatile and always up for anything, he is a pillar of our team!

Marie Fravallo

Supervisor

Marie takes as much care of the team’s well-being and cohesion as she does of our plants. She also keeps coaching and group classes running smoothly with the same attention and kindness that define her.

Maïcha

Supervisor

Show Maïcha anything and they’ll be able to do it better than anyone within a week. An impeccable supervisor, the whole team can rely on their expertise with complete confidence to get through the best of shifts.

Jean-Philippe Saucier Côté

Facilities manager

There is nothing JP can’t build or fix. Where others might see disaster, JP sees an adventure. The gym is in good hands and isn’t about to crumble any time soon!
