Reviewers describe Café 2nd Gen as a standout for inventive drinks and quality coffee, with highlights including ube matcha, jasmine matcha, tiramisu latte, date tahini latte, and a kafta sandwich, plus Vietnamese coffee with creme brulee toppings. The drinks are praised for being well crafted and not overly sweet, and the menu is noted for ambitious twists and seasonal flavors. The staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, contributing to a warm, cozy atmosphere, though the space is relatively small and seating can be hard to come by, so many visits are to go. A few concerns include price for the small cup size and occasional too much ice or sweetness in drinks. Parking around the area is challenging, but the cafe is regarded as a valuable neighborhood spot with high repeat visits and a loyal following.
Le lieu est assez sympa, le personnel aussi. Néanmoins c'est dommage qu'il y a qu'une seule taille de cup & selon la boisson le prix est assez cher pour un petit format
Excellent drinks & plenty of fun options! It was my first time trying a matcha latte with ube cream & I loved it. I'll definitely come back to try more.

J'ai pris le ube matcha & mon copain a pris le café vietnamien avec un topping de crème brulé. Les deux boissons étaient excellentes! Le service était aussi 10/10 & super rapide.
Beau café ! J'adorais leur pop up store à Brossard & j'avais hâte de voir enfin leur café. Il est plus petit que je pensais, mais c'est à air ouverte durant l'été & l'automne donc c'est super bien ! J'adore leurs diversités & fusions de boissons. 🥰 J'y retournerai ! Ils vendent également des desserts.
Absolutely worth the trip there! I don't even like coffee, but I LOVED the one they made for me. I forgot the name of the drink (& forgot to take a picture 🤣) I enjoyed it down to the very last sip. I'll definitely be coming back with more of my family to try the rest of the menu!
I loved everything about this café! Their ube matcha is to die for. The first time I went, they made it a bit too sweet for my liking but the second time they adjusted the sugar level accordingly so it was perfect. The location is great & the interior design is really pretty. I definitely recommend.
The coffee was so good. I highly recommend the tiramisu latte. It has a little touch of saltiness but its super good. It is very caffeinated 😍😍😍 The cup is also very big. Rapport quality/price is excellent! For sure I will come back!!
The staff is super welcoming & gives good drink recommendations! We took the creme brûle & tiramisu viet cafe & both were super good! They even gave us pastries which was so appreciated 🥰 Would definitely recommend
their Ube matcha is very tasty & not overly sweet, service was pretty fast considering the small line. will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks!
