Reviews describe Café September as a vibrant, busy brunch spot where pancakes are a must and items like avocado toast, halloumi toast, tomato soup, grilled cheese, and tasty coffee or matcha frequently score highly; the atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, but seating is tight and lines are common, leading to longer waits or turnover concerns, with mixed notes on service depending on the visit and some pricing comments.
Je suis déjà venu quelques fois & le serveur avec la casquette, grand en taille, n'est pas à sa place. Zéro sourire, zéro accueil, zéro mots. Impression de le déranger. Limite il nous a bousculé à l'entrée sans s'excuser. Il aurait mieux fait de rester chez lui. Je peux comprendre la hype autour de l'établissement mais si vous ne savez pas accueillir les clients, vous perdez tout. Je ne reviendrais plus & je ne recommanderais pas si vous voulez être bien accueilli.

We arrived at the opening on a Monday morning, the 18th of May. There were no one but the ambience in the staff were unpleasant. We use to come quite often & the Waiter is really rude. The tall guy with a hat. Very disapointing.
Not a smile. Not welcoming at all. Not a single word. It's not the first time that we are having this experience & it seems we are annoying him. I can't understand how he's still there. The food is good & delicious but the overall experience is really deplorable.
Pour ce qui est de la cuisine vraiment Top, le toast halloumi & le grilled cheese sont incroyables sans parler des pancakes à tester absolument !
Le café est également bon.
Prévoir un peu d'attente.
Très bon, très frais.
Victime de son succès, il y a la queue souvent pour déjeuner sur place. Emporter est une bonne option en cas d'affluence. Pas de réservation possible.
Je recommande.
Un des meilleurs brunchs à Montréal ! Certes, il y a toujours de l'attente (comptez 30 minutes environ), mais la nourriture vaut la peine & dès que vous êtes installés à table le service est très rapide. Les quantités sont bonnes, le lieu est charmant, pas trop bruyant & les serveurs/serveuses sont très gentils. Nous reviendrons.
there are few places I've been to (if any) where the whole brunch menu is great - like really great & this is one of those places. A must visit if you visit Montreal!!!

Good coffee & food, I particularly enjoyed the grilled cheese (slightly spicy) & tomato soup. The deluxe breakfast sandwich was yummy but felt more like a lunch item. Service can be slow
This cozy Montreal gem is a must-visit. The homemade breakfast, soups, & cookies were delicious & thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. Savannah was a delightful host, & a huge thank you goes to the three chefs in the kitchen for their hard work & excellent food. While the line can be long, the experience is well worth it-though a digital sign-in system would be a great addition for those cold mornings. Highly recommended!
The place is always crowded, you have to wait for long time in line.. food & beverages were ok. The only unique item for me was the bone broth. It was very rich & delicious. Waiters are cheerful.
Excellente nourriture !
Je n'ai jamais mangé d'aussi bons toast.
Pancakes très généreux, dommage je n'avais plus assez de place pour finir mais j'y reviendrai à l'occasion
