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.
I loveee their iced banana matcha!! Their seasonal drinks are something to look forward to. Still dreaming about the carrot cake matcha they had a couple months ago😛 100% recommend
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!!
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!
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.
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!

L'ambiance est très chaleureuse. La nourriture & les boissons sont délicieuses & de très bonne qualité. Le service à la clientèle est formidable. C'est un endroit exceptionnel. Je recommande fortement!
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!
Lives up to the hype. Great spot in the PSC neighborhood. I'd recommend the matcha & mocha. A tad pricey. Service is super friendly & the space is spacious enough to find your own corner to work or catch up with friends. Would recommend.
We decided to stop by Cose after doing a Google search for good matcha places in Montreal & omg we loved it. The matcha was clean & flavourful, I loved it so so much that I came back for another one for the road back home💖 Pet friendly & baby friendly, friendly staff, just amazing, I would highly recommend it!

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!
Here's my honest review. I had the sea salt earl grey matcha latte. It was a very sweet drink. Basically sugar & milk. The Matcha taste was lost in the sweetness. If you are looking for a matcha drink I can't recommend this. I would say the taste is more of an earl grey latte rather than earl grey matcha latte thats how lost the matcha taste was. Probably less syrup, & less water when whisking the matcha. Make a koicha so it is stronger, I want to still be able to taste the nuttiness or the astringency rather than sweetened milk.
J'ai testez 3 de leurs boissons & a chaque fois l'accueil est fantastique, les boissons sont merveilleuses & l'endroit super mignon & cosy
Je recommande leur matcha qui sont exellent 👌

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!
I tried their'Matcha Cosé' (iced) & really enjoyed it! The creme top they add definitely takes a while to mix in to the drink & it makes it very sweet (so if you don't love a super sweet matcha, I would recommend trying something else), but I really enjoyed it! Visited around 3-4 PM & was able to get a seat at a table (there are a few tables at booths along with some standalone tables & window seats). Would love to come back & try some of their other specialty drinks in the future!
I've been here a couple times & every time has been great, good service, good drinks & good food. I got the orange blossom matcha & it was honestly one of the best matcha's i've ever had. Could not recommend this place more
