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.
This café is so warm & welcoming, thanks to the staff's attitude as well as the overall atmosphere :) They offer wonderful flavors - I loved the Earl Grey matcha. I'll definitely be going back; it's a must-visit in Montreal in my opinion!

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
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.
Cafe Cosé is a charming little spot with clean, minimalist vibes that make it feel fresh & inviting. It's a small cafe with limited seating, so it might not be the best option if you're looking for a place to linger during peak times. One standout feature is that it's dog-friendly, which is a big plus for pet lovers! However, it was quite chilly inside during our visit, which made it a little less comfortable than we'd hoped. While the prices are slightly on the higher side, the quality of the food makes up for it-especially the ricotta toast, which was yummy. Overall, a nice cafe with a modern aesthetic. Worth a visit if you're in the area, especially if you're bringing your furry friend, but be prepared for the limited space, slightly premium pricing, & cool indoor temperature.
