Review Summary

Café September comes through in reviews as a lively must visit brunch spot in Montreal with standout pancakes, avocado toast and halloumi toast, plus tomato soup with grilled cheese that many say is a highlight. The coffee and matcha are reliably good and the atmosphere is sunny and casual with a surf vibe, but the place is consistently crowded with long lines and limited seating, especially on weekends and warm days. Service is described as friendly and efficient by many, though a few comments mention slower moments and a couple of rude host experiences. The menu is praised for simplicity and solid value, with generous portions and a balance of savory and sweet options, and many say the pancakes are among the best they have had. While the wait times can be a deterrent for some, most reviews agree the food and vibes make the wait worth it, with recommendations to go early or expect a lively line. Overall Café September stands out as a top mood and meal booster in the area, especially for fluffy pancakes and tasty toast.

The food was so good & worth the hype. The coffee was also great. Their pastries are also amazing. I felt the service was okay & there isn't much seating inside.

Absolutely amazing brunch spot. I love that the menu is not too big & that they really focus on doing a few things very well, while still offering good variety. The pancakes are iconic & a must try. They are the perfect balance of fluffy, sweet, savoury, buttery, & everything you want in a pancake. The food quality is excellent, portion sizes are generous, & prices are very reasonable.

The matcha & coffee are great, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service is kind & friendly. It does get quite busy, so be prepared to wait, but it is well worth it for one of the best brunches I have had.

They were really sweet & found me a spot despite the fact that I came 30 minutes before closing (they're super busy so 30 minutes is last minute); the pancakes were delicious & the drink was fresh! Def recommend

There is no management at all as there was 1 person standing in the line & let a whole group of 10 people go inside who came later which is not fair at all to the people standing in the line in this cold & they stayed for hours, & no body looks into this from management. Which is why would not come again sadly, seriously this kind of behaviour is really absurd & unethical from those kind of people who tries to bypass the process & always looks for the shortcuts.

Excellent coffee place with great food options.
The pancakes are excellent & à must try. I have also tried the avocado toast which is delicious on brioche bread, with a generous amount of avocado.
The halloumi toast is also very good again generous portions.
I like their matcha latte which is good.
The only inconvenience is that you can have a long line to eat there especially in the summer & week-ends & there is no reservations.

Avant d'y aller, je me disais que c'était un café comme les autres, mais maintenant, je comprends l'engouement. Que ce soit un lundi matin ou un dimanche matin, il y aura une file, mais ça vaut la peine si vous me demandez mon opinion. Nous devons commander au comptoir & la nourriture est ensuite amenée à notre table. La tartine à l'avocat était extrement savoureuse, les frites étaient croustillantes & juste assez salées, mais selon moi, ce qui a volé la vedette était assurément les crêpes au beurre. Elles étaient fluffy, parfaitement sucrées & les fraises ajoutaient la parfaite touche fruitée! Par contre le matcha n'était vraiment pas le meilleur, il goûtait beaucoup le lait donc vous pouvez vous passer de ce breuvage. Que ce soit pour bruncher ou juste prendre un café, c'est vraiment un bel endroit dans un super beau quartier de Montréal!

Super cool spot with delicious food! Gets super busy so there might be a wait/line, but it's worth it! Try the halloumi toast - highly recommend. & the pancakes are a must too!

September Café - Montreal

Out of all the places we visited in Montreal, this one was my favourite. The pancakes really hit the spot-soft, warm, & perfect with butter & maple syrup, especially in the cold weather. The place was busy, but the food arrived fresh & well presented. Very cozy & pleasant spot for a good breakfast. One small suggestion: adding a side of fruit with the pancakes (banana or berries) would make them perfect.

Coming to September you will ALWAYS find a lineup. The wait can last between 10 minutes to an hour.

Is it worth the wait? Yeah, sure, sometimes. The food is affordable compared to most spaces & it's definitely good.

Are all the matcha girls hoarding the space just to take a photo of their food for IG? Yes. They overcrowd the space, definitely.

I recommend visiting the space at least once to determine if you think it's worth it. Could even be worth the detour.

The staff are super chill & offer excellent service 💯

Merci bonsoir.
