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.
Have been living in Griffintown for a few years & had somehow never heard of Redwood until yesterday, when a friend told me they make one of the best iced lattes in this area. She was not lying!
Went in this morning to try their dulce de leche iced latte & WOW, it's the first time I've had a flavored coffee that wasn't overly sweet & was actually delicious. I also grabbed a regular cappuccino for my partner (who is very picky about coffee), & he said it was great too.
Definitely order something from their baked goods as well. I tried the blueberry muffin & it was delicious.
The staff were so friendly & kind. I'll definitely be back & highly recommend!
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.
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!
Really liked this place. Bright open Scandi style decor & a wide range of drinks options, from standard teas & coffees to London Fog, pistachio milk, home made chai etc etc. Plus an equally eclectic mix of home made cakes & pastries, sandwiches etc. Friendly staff .
Im not usually a avacado toast guy. Usually it seems way overpriced & bland but this was the best abacado toast I have had. The ficacia like bread was fresh & bouncy, the arugula had a nice vinaigrette that cut the avacado well & the egg had the perfect jasmines. The vold brew itself was really good as well with a good chocolate richness.
The staff is really friendly & quick. The avacado toast recommendation was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere is nice & light with a lot of design that seems nice in the winter as well. Overall a great place for coffee & breakfast.

Nice location, they have fun drinks. Their coffee is good but I would skip on their syrups, they have a weird aftertaste. Their food is good but definitely overpriced. Their matcha is yummy.
