The interior environment emphasizes a cozy and modern aesthetic, defined by clean lines and a welcoming, understated layout.

Café Cosé is widely celebrated as a top destination in Montreal for high quality matcha and unique, Vietnamese-inspired coffee drinks. Many customers praise the innovative menu, particularly the banana-themed and sea salt Earl Grey matchas, which are frequently described as the best in the city. The café offers a warm, modern, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere that makes it a popular neighborhood spot for relaxing or working. While visitors consistently highlight the friendly and accommodating nature of the staff and owner, the shop is small and can become quite crowded on weekends, often resulting in limited seating and occasional wait times. Although most experiences are highly positive, some guests have noted inconsistencies in drink sweetness or service speed during peak hours, yet the overall consensus remains that the exceptional flavors and inviting environment make it a must-visit location.
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 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.
I went again & got a vanilla latte & earl gray latte & they were both too sweet, the syrup overpowered the coffee flavour. The banana bread latte was better & I would recommend if you want a sweet drink that still tastes like coffee, though it's not my personal taste but at least it was good.
Literally crashing out because I got an iced matcha (given I liked it the last time) & it was literally a white color with a hint of light green.
J'ai été au café cosé tester le latte banane & le matcha sea salt earl grey & ils étaient incroyables!! Definitivement je les reprenderai ! J'ai aussi apprécié le service, j'ai adoré parler légèrement avec Anya à la caisse, she was so sweett !!
Really nice café! My girlfriend ordered the sea salt earl grey matcha & she really loved it, perfect balance of sweet & salty. I tried the coco cosé it was really good & refreshing for a hot summer day like today. The employees were really nice & sweet as well, it really shows that they care about their service & the customer experience! Will definitely come back to try new stuff

I came here on a boiling humid day in Montreal, but got recommended this place by a friend.
As a Viet, this is more Viet meets Modernism but with a tasty twist! There are some Viet flavours on the menu like the Coffee with Condensed Milk, Coconut, & Bananas. I ordered mine for'to here' of an Iced Banana Matcha Latte with a Chocolatine for roughly $13 CAD with taxes. Prices are average like your other coffee shops in Montreal.
For the ambience, it's pretty cute, modern condo-style, & chic (beige, white, brown), but with limited seating spots. No plugs (I think or it's limited) but there is WiFi, you just have to ask for the guest password.
Service wise, it may be slow, so please be patient when ordering & waiting. When I came close to 19h, there was only one nice barista serving & ordering for everyone. He was nice! Luckily I didn't have to wait too long for my order (around 5 mins), but I'm sure on other days might be chaotic.
Flavour wise, the Iced Banana Matcha Latte is pretty good, not too sweet. I personally liked it as I was able to taste the Bananas. Chocolatine was $4 & flakey & less chocolate.
It's a cute spot, roughly 10-15 mins away from Charlevoix metro. I do recommend coming here with friends or want a quick refresher, but beware of the last g wait & crowd!
I tried their iced oat milk latte which is a bit strong but I love it that way. Their croissants are also good & the barista was sweet. 10/10 would come again
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.
