Overall, Café Cosé receives widespread praise for its exceptional matcha and other drinks, with many noting the best matcha in Montreal, a range of seasonal flavors, and stylish, cozy vibes that invite lingering; staff are frequently described as friendly and welcoming, and the cafe is regarded as a great spot to study, chat, or relax. Some critiques mention limited seating and slow service at times, and a few guests find the pricing a bit high or the sweetness level inconsistent across drinks.
I love Cosé, fav spot for matcha so far, I went almost 10x but sometimes it's quite crowded so there's mixups & wait time, they are nice enough to re-do the drinks but waiting for the drink to be redone was a bit long 🥲. Sad my fav (the carrot cake matcha) isn't permanent, otherwise really good!
Coffee is not as good imo (since I tried the red velvet latte by mistake) the beans tasted slightly burned & it's just not my style but again I'm no coffee expert at all so who knows if it's a good or bad thing...
Defintly popular for a reason! There was only once where the matcha disappointed me but if you're there, they'll make adjustments no problem, I didn't feel like disturbing the staff so I left
Manque de considération pour la clientèle francophone. Toutes les publicités commerciales faites en ligne, sur leur compte insta, sont en anglais seulement. Malgré que le café soit situé à Montréal & qu'il s'adresse principalement à une clientèle locale. Pourquoi est-ce si compliqué pour l'entreprise de faire de la publicité dans la seule langue officielle du Québec ? Pu capable des entreprises a? Montréal qui ne respectent aucunement la clientèle québécoise & francophone. Faites un effort. On est à Montréal, pas à Toronto.

Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name, & they're always glad you came. That's the type of atmosphere this place has. Great local coffee shop that's serves a great coffee & great matchas.
Believe the hype!
I've been a loyal customer at Café Cosé for over a year, & I've always received excellent service, which is why today's experience was so surprising & disappointing.
Around 3 PM, the employee who served us was extremely unprofessional, not welcoming at all, & showed no basic courtesy. This is honestly the first time I've encountered such poor service at your café.
Unfortunately, this experience has left a bad impression, & it makes me hesitant to come back, which is really disappointing given how much I used to enjoy coming here.
Coffee is good & their cinnamon rolls is incredible, but the matcha was very disappointing. It was very diluted & you could only taste the syrup - I took 2 different matchas (15$) & both were tasteless in matcha but strong in syrup.
It tends to get crowded fast so don't expect to have a seated place every time you come.
I had the sweetest & most warm experience at Cafe Cose. We were visiting out of town, & really wanted to try this place. However, we arrived 5 minutes after closing. One of the employees, Joseph, could tell our excitement to try this place & so kindly offered to make our drink despite technically being closed.
In regards to the drink, it was quite literally the best banana matcha I've ever had. The matcha quality was fantastic! Definitely will be visiting again.
