Review Summary

Café September is a highly popular Montreal brunch destination that generates significant buzz, often resulting in long lineups and a crowded, energetic atmosphere. While many patrons praise the food as delicious and worth the wait, particularly the signature fluffy pancakes, halloumi toast, and grilled cheese with tomato soup, experiences regarding the service and seating can be inconsistent. The cafe features a minimalist, trendy aesthetic with both indoor and outdoor patio options, though the counter-order system and limited seating can make finding a spot challenging during peak hours. Opinions on the overall value remain mixed, as some guests find the quality exceptional enough to justify the price and time, while others feel the experience is overhyped and note that service quality can vary depending on the staff.

They definitely carry yummy food. Their coffee, matchas are also so good.
I wasn't a big fan of their grilled cheese it was too greasy, & the tomato soup also more on the acidic side.
Will I stand 45 mins in line ? no. Will I go grab something to go if the line was short? Maybe yes.

Finally tried this cafe! Luckily we didn't wait too long as the weather was a bit gloomy. Waited for about it 25 ~ minutes wasn't bad.

Ordered the grilled cheese & tomato soup which was excellent, chicken sandwich was also great. We shared the pancake with strawberries - Honestly, it wad good but not as amazing as i expected it to be.

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.

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

It's worth the hype & the wait, the food is really thoughtful & well balanced.

I had the mushroom burrata toast (10/10). It was a little on the salty side, but the burrata balances it out perfectly. I also had the tomato soup with the grilled cheese, which was really good. The soup is rich & full of flavor, & the grilled cheese is made with a spicy cheese, a nice twist. I personally prefer milder options, but it was still a hit.

The pancakes were very tasty, fluffy, buttery goodness with flaky sea salt on top. A bit heavy to eat on their own; I feel like a side of berries & whipped cream would lighten them up, but they're definitely good, diner-style pancakes.

The vibes are so good.

Overall, I'd go again!

Vibrant & full of energy. Thoughtfully curated menu, there's something for everyone & delivers great flavour. The grilled cheese & tomato soup were especially comforting. It was busy & bustling, & the staff were warm & welcoming.

Probably the best pancakes I've ever had, the avocado toast was unreal as well, coming from someone who makes it regularly for breakfast theirs just hit differently.

Also tried the grilled cheese + tomato soup. It was good nothing to go wild about.

Also it's very busy & first come first serve we were able to get seats fairly quickly. Would definitely go back just for the pancakes alone 💯
