Overall, Café Redwood is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with strong coffee, house made pastries, and a growing selection of savory options that many reviewers praise for quality and variety. The atmosphere is bright and friendly, good for study or brunch, with some noting the canal side location and a few tables reserved for non laptop users. Prices are frequently mentioned as high for the quality, and a few reviewers report inconsistent or slow service when busy. Standout drinks include dulce de leche latte and various rose water and mango matcha drinks, while the food is highlighted by fresh sandwiches, focaccia, avocado toast, and pastries like madeleines and choux. Overall the consensus is positive on the coffee and vibe, with a few cautions about value and occasional service hiccups.
Beginning with the ordering process, the staff didn't know what ingredients were in the beef sandwich I wanted to order. I decided to order anyway & planned to dine in with my friends. I asked for a regular cup for my coffee, not a paper cup; however, they still served my coffee in a paper cup.
In addition, it took a very long time for them to prepare the sandwich. After waiting for quite a while, I ended up canceling my order. The barista was also very rude & tried to convince me that the delay was somehow my problem.
The quality of their food & drinks might be good according to other reviews, but my experience at this place was horrible. I will definitely not go back & will share my experience with others who are considering going there.
Meilleur café de pointe st-charles, forever des souvenirs du 6am run club qui s'y tenait pendant l'été. Les
baristas étaient trop gentils. L'ambiance & service parfaits encore à ce jour. J'adore le Redwood 🥹🌟

The prices are kind of too much for the quality of the food. Also the matcha was not good, don't take it if you love matcha! It just tastes like milk & syrup. The atmosphere was nice! Think.
Lovely cafe, good variety on methods, coffee types, lots of specialty coffee beans available for purchase. I wish they had more savory options, I had the avocado toast with bacon, latte & a pour over. Everything was tasty, fresh & nicely done. Service was great as well, definitely would recommend to specialty coffee lovers!
I've been coming here for years & I always love it. The coffee is fantastic, but the iced matchas with all the house made syrups (my favorite is the mango) are a showstopper. All the food & pastries are house made & so fresh. My go tos are the madeleines, the seasonal palmiers, the lava cakes & the incredible cream puffs. Their sandwiches made one fresh focaccia are incredible too, the chipotle chicken salad is unlike anything I've had before. It's very much worth your time to come & brunch on the weekends, when they have a creamy custardy French toast. Never had any issue with staff or wait, overall love coming here!
Honestly, I don't leave reviews often, but I have to say Café Redwood exceeded my expectations! The rose water matcha was perfectly balanced & just the right amount of sweet, & the wasabi BLT was fantastic. They were even kind enough to give us cookies since it was busy & we had to wait just a little longer. All in all, a great experience, 10/10 would recommend! 🙂???
The workers were all so kind, & you can really tell they work with love. We only waited a short time for our food, & they even offered us free cookies for the wait! I personally didn't feel like the wait was long at all since I've experienced much longer waits elsewhere, but their generosity was so appreciated. We ordered the avo toast & the wasabi BLT, along with rose water matchas, & everything was amazing. Cozy vibes, good people, & great food, couldn't ask for more.
