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.
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.

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!
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.
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! 🙂???
Deja super service & de très bons conseils quand on est indécis, les brioches sont excellentes, les différents matcha sont super bons. Seul bémol c est les groupes de coureurs à pieds qui arrivent par vingtaine dans aucun respect pour les clients déjà présents. En quelques instants on n est plus dans un café mais dans un vestiaire avec des gens qui parlent forts & qui sentent la transpiration. Le civisme a définitivement quitté notre société c est regrettable.
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.
Meilleur spot ever! Rien de mieux qu'aller boire un matcha & étudier à ce café. La musique est bonne, le service est excellent, c'est propre. Nous adorons.
As usual super cozy well lit not too loud coffee shop right next to the canal. Easy to access. I love all of their fruity matcha options!!! This one is mango 🥭 also bonus point for the "no computer tables" for people who just wanna stop by for a quick coffee.
