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.

Their matcha is just amazing. I tried their matcha creme & coffee creme. I liked the matcha more.. . The cafe has this cosy vibe but the seating is limited. I went on a Saturday & did not find any empty seats.
But will try again .
The baristas are great too 👍
Café Cose has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. The vibe is effortlessly cool-bright, welcoming, & always buzzing with energy.
Yes, the line can be a bit of a wait, especially during peak hours, but it's for good reason.
The coffee is excellent-smooth, consistent, & clearly crafted with care. But the matcha? Easily the best in the city. Perfectly balanced, earthy without being bitter, & made right every time.
If you're into good drinks & great atmosphere (& don't mind waiting a little), Café Cose is a must.
This spot was on my'must-try coffee list of Montreal', & I think I've just unlocked a new craving, their iced sea salt earl grey matcha was to die for. Now I have to come back to try the rest of the menu because everything looked absolutely delicious.
The Vietnamese fusion drink concept is so unique & well-executed, the flavors blend perfectly. The café itself is quite small, so I recommend coming early if you want to grab a seat.
One of the highlights was definitely the staff, the baristas & owners were incredibly friendly & welcoming. The vibe inside was just amazing. You could tell this place has a loyal crowd; people were chatting with one another like regulars, & the whole atmosphere felt warm & inviting.
Huge kudos to the team, this place is truly a gem. Keep up the amazing work!
Cute coffee shop , loved the minimalistic decor
The lady there is very friendly & sweet
I enjoyed the Matcha Cose which was a matcha version of an einspanner, delicious I would recommend it !
We had a wonderful visit to Café Code! The avocado toast was fresh & perfectly seasoned, & the ricotta toast with strawberry jam was a delightful balance of creamy & sweet. Both dishes were beautifully presented & full of flavour. The flat white coffee was smooth, rich, & one of the best we've had in a while. The atmosphere was cozy & welcoming, with great service to match. Highly recommend for a relaxing & delicious café experience!
So cozy, the coffee is really strong so will definitely satisfy your coffee cravings. Nice roasted flavour with the aftertaste. I wanted to try their matcha as I've heard great things about it & it was great! It is flavourful & naturally sweet (I always get it sugar free). It stands up as one of the best cafes in Montreal & easily compares to the most famous ones I've been to.
I like the area the most, it's very quiet & plenty of street parking. Customer service was great too & I overall loved the calm & quiet atmosphere. Light music was played too which was perfect.
Coffee looks good, attractive presentation, cups are nice, but flavor was so bad. Low quality cappuccino, I didn't experience beauty of coffee aroma. Cose cream coffee smelled egg yolk, we could not even come close to the cup: the smell was so strong. The ambience was okay. Nothing special.

Saw this shop suggested on TikTok only to discover how close it is to me. So glad I went & tried it, every drink I have had has been amazing & the pastries were good. My go to coffee shop in the area & it is a competitive spot
The coffee is good but nothing crazy, i will go back however to try their take on the london fog but honestly i found this spot on "mtl's best coffee" ... this is not that. The service is nice & friendly I havent had their pastries i will edit this review when i go back.
I went there the last 30 minutes before they closed to get the egg coffee (because the other coffee shop ran out :) ) & I was glad I tried Cose !!! The coffee was amazing & the egg part was super delicious as well. There was limited table as my pictures but the decorate is simple & bright.
