Overall, Café September emerges as a buzzing Montreal brunch staple, beloved for fluffy pancakes, avocado toast, halloumi toast, tomato soup with grilled cheese, and a compact yet flavorful menu that tends to deliver comfort food and solid coffee. The vibe is lively and casual, with surf-inspired decor and a crowded, sometimes noisy atmosphere that makes seating tight and the space feel busy. Lines are long, especially on weekends, but many note that the wait is worth it for the quality and consistency of the food. Standout items frequently praised include the pancakes, avocado toast, halloumi toast, and the tomato soup with grilled cheese, while the matcha and coffee are commonly described as satisfying. Service is mixed, ranging from friendly and efficient to overwhelmed during peak hours, and the ordering system (counter service with self seating) can feel hectic. Overall, it offers a dependable brunch experience with strong flavors, provided patience with crowds and limited seating are acceptable.

Super busy & for good reason! This cafe is amazing - fantastic food, great service, nice ambiance. We got the pancakes which were fluffy & flavorful & the grilled cheese was the best one I've ever had. Can't wait to go back next time we're in Montreal!

One of the best mocha's I've had! This cafe offered a wide selection of food to choose from as well as coffee of course. The atmosphere is definitely more of a modern cafe & was quite busy when I went (which can be a good sign as well). Mocha was nice & rich. (Sorry for not reviewing in French)

September Café is an absolute gem in Montreal! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm & inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, making you feel right at home. The coffee is superb, & their pastries are a delight. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to work or a relaxing place to meet friends, September Café is the perfect choice. I can’t recommend it enough! It gets very busy at times but it’s worthwhile.

More of a 4.5 than a 4/5. The food is absolutely delicious, I get why this place is always busy! The chai was good but not the best I’ve had. Even though the cafe is very busy, they have lots of places to sit. It cost me around 19$ for 2 iced chais & a side of fries
