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.
Tasty french toast, but overpriced since it didn't fill me up. It has the texture of a cannelé. Very good chou with generous filling. The dulce de leche latte was nice, but nothing special. I'd try it iced. Overall I paid almost 40$ for these 3 items so depends on your budget. I would try the other pastries, but not brunch again.
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!
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.
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.
Great cafe near Lachine canal. I've really enjoyed their matcha with fruit, as well as avocado & ricotta toasts & freshly made cinnamon buns. Coffee was good as well. Pleasant vibe & sufficient enough seating if you intend to stay a bit, but it can get busy of course.

Loved the avocado toast & coffee here. Curb side seating is nice however it gets a bit intense when the cars stop for the lights because then you are inhaling the fumes for those 30 seconds or so.
Super café au bord du canal Lachine. Le personnel est très accueillant & sympathique. Ils laissent rentrer les chiens pour commander à emporter. Le café est délicieux & les toasts à l'avocat aussi. Endroit hyper propre, idéal pour un café en coup de vent ou pour une après-midi à travailler sur l'ordinateur.
Little comfy nook. Good food & awesome matcha lattes, perfect for a hangout. They have vegan dairy alternatives for the drinks which is wonderful. The avocado toast is vegan if you exclude the feta. Only thing I would suggest is perhaps adding some vegan pastries to go with the lovely vegan beverages!
