Café Cosé draws praise for its warm, cozy vibe, attentive staff and a distinctive fusion drinks lineup that blends Vietnamese inspirations with Western coffee culture. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the matcha as among the best in town, with favorites like banana bread matcha, earl grey sea salt matcha and sea salt earl grey, along with strong Vietnamese coffee and egg coffee options; most find the drinks well balanced and flavorful, though a few note sweetness levels can be too high or the flavors uneven at times. The cafe is described as a friendly neighbourhood spot with good wifi and outlets, though seating is limited and lines can form during peak hours. Food and pastries are generally well received, with several mentioning avocado and ricotta toast as solid complements to drinks. The staff and owner consistently receive praise for friendliness and warmth, helping create a welcoming sense of community and encouraging repeat visits. A few critiques mention longer service times or higher prices for the portion sizes, but overall Café Cosé is seen as a standout go-to for matcha lovers and coffee lovers alike, with many recommending trying the seasonal and house specials.
limited seats but nice spot w good drinks. i liked the cafe cosé (egg coffee) most, & the sea salt earl grey matcha was rly good too :) can choose hot or iced for all of these
C'est tout simplement le meilleur café en ville! Les employés sont incroyablement courtois & chaleureux. Leur café est de qualité supérieure, & leurs spécialités vietnamiennes sont tout simplement délicieuses. 🤤🥰
their banana bread matcha &/or latte is genuinely the best thing i've ever tasted in my life, as well as their earl grey matcha
worth going back a 100 times for it
i hope they never remove these from the menu 🙏🏼
also very cute little café with good wifi + pretty clean bathroom which is always a bonus

Ambiance chaleureuse. Petit mais très cosy & calme donc parfait pour travailler! J'ai aimé leur latte ! Petit plus : Ils ont une carte de fidélité à faire tamponner pour avoir le 10e café gratuit !
Cafe Cose truly has the best matcha in town. The flavor is so smooth & balanced. You can tell they use really high-quality matcha.
On top of that, the people who work there are honestly the nicest. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in, & the vibe is just warm & comforting.
If you're a matcha lover or just want a cozy spot with great energy, I 100% recommend Cafe Cose.

Incroyable café local avec un proprio tout à fait génial, qui sait comment créer un environnement chaleureux, moderne & invitant. Une place idéale où déguster de délicieux matcha (& plein de bouffe) avec des amis!
My go-to place for matcha! They have different flavours, & they're always amazing. The baristas are super nice & welcoming, & the atmosphere makes you want to stay a while. I definitely recommend this café!
Mon spot de matcha favori à Montréal! Leurs saveurs sont absolument incroyables, mon coup de coeur est le salted earl grey, à tomber par terre!!! Le service est toujours tellement chaleureux, on s'y sent chez soi. & le fait qu'ils soutiennent les peuples opprimés du monde n'est que la cerise sur le sundae! Merci café cosé!!!

A trendy cafe that is worth the hype. Their banana matcha is such a perfect drink. It's sweet but not too sweet, very delicate, & tastes exactly like banana bread. The earl grey salted matcha is comforting & flavourful (can't taste the salt too much but that's ok).
Seating is quite limited so this is a grab & go place for sure. It's quickly become one of my favourites!
My go to is to get a matcha here & grab a sandwich from clarks to pair it with.
Stumbled upon this gem in Pointe-St-Charles. In an already crowded coffee scene, Café Cosé still manage to stand out with its blend of Vietnamese & Asian inspiration to a western coffee shop.
The atmosphere is cosy & inviting. In big part this is because of the energy of the owner.
The coffee is well crafted. There's even little surprises like Vietnamese coffee & egg yolk Vietnamese coffee! But with a western twist!
Overall, definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a coffee lover.
We ordered sea salt earl grey (6.50$+tax) & banana matcha (6.50$+tax). The banana matcha wasn't sweet enough & the sea salt earl grey was okay. It was a small cafe & the sitting spots were limited.
