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
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!
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.
This coffee spot is super cute. I went there to taste their new red velvet latte & was not disappointed. The baristas are very nice, the place is super cozy & the food tastes wonderful. I totally recommend!!

I've had & (loved) the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk here before, so I ordered two today & clearly explained the drink to the barista to be sure it was the drink I was wanting to show my friend. Unfortunately, what we received was very different from what I've had in the past. When I asked about it, he told me it was because he had stirred the condensed milk directly into the to-go cup. To his credit, the barista did remake the drink the way I originally requested, & it was delicious.
What made the experience very uncomfortable was because there was a long line, I had to briefly step forward to fix the order, & the person at the front of the line was understandably frustrated. While I was standing there, I overheard the barista tell that customer that if he were in his position, he would have'lost it' on me.
That comment was really disappointing, rude & embarrassing to hear as a customer who was simply trying to correct a drink that had been made differently than ordered. It made me feel judged & unwelcome.
I'm sharing this because I genuinely like your coffee & felt part of the community & have had positive experiences before, but hospitality & professionalism in moments like this matter just as much as the quality of the drink, & I don't think I will be visiting here again.
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

lowkey so mid. the banana matcha was just okay, very cinnamon heavy. the salted egg coffee was not good - the espresso was super bitter.
cute place tho
We tried the banana iced latte & the earl grey matcha. I've tested many coffee places in Montreal, & this place is absolutely amazing. The mood of the employees is awesome, & the flavours of the drinks is matching our highest expectations. Could not recommend more!

One of the best matcha in Montreal! Coffee is also incredible, their Vietnamese coffee in particular is so rich & smooth. The space is cozy but modern making it a great spot to work, study or relax. Even my dog had a great time! Can't recommend enough!
