Review Summary

Café 2nd Gen is widely celebrated as a premier coffee destination in Montreal, beloved for its creative and high-quality specialty drinks, particularly the signature ube matcha and various Vietnamese coffee concoctions featuring unique foam toppings. Visitors frequently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the exceptionally kind, attentive staff who contribute to a cozy and inclusive environment. While the space is relatively small and can become crowded, leading to limited seating during peak hours, the presence of an outdoor terrace during warmer seasons offers a pleasant alternative. Guests consistently highlight the thoughtful preparation of their items, including delicious sandwiches and pastries, making it a favorite neighborhood gem that earns high recommendations despite occasional wait times or noise levels.

Ce petit café de quartier est un endroit très sympa pour prendre un café ou autre sur place ou emporter. J'ai particulièrement apprécié leur matcha ! Ils proposent également une sélection classique de boissons chaudes & froides. Le service était rapide & sympathique.

Ube matcha was very rich so felt more like a dessert rather than a drink. Seasonal jasmine matcha was really fragrant & unique! Down side is the amount of ice in their drinks; a bit too much
