I used to love coming here. I've been an OG customer since they opened but I am sad to see the dip in the service quality.

Out of my last 4 visits, I noticed my drink order being wrong twice (asking for an iced drink but getting a hot one instead. & asking for a mango matcha but I only got a regular matcha).

I'm sad to see the laptop policy & timed wifi implemented back in march 2025. I understand if it was a weekend policy, or if it's full. But I no longer feel welcomed to stay even if it's a weekday with only half the cafe being occupied… I only visit when I plan to do take out because staying inside feels like they want to turn over tables quickly. I'm also sad to see that drinks are no longer brought to your table if you ate in. Again, I understand if it's busy but it really feels like a drop in service quality knowing that it was much better before.

Pastries are still great & love the addition of more breakfast items! I just miss the atmosphere (being work friendly) & service quality from the past.

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.

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!
