Review Summary

Café September is widely celebrated as a premier brunch destination in Montreal, beloved for its exceptionally fluffy pancakes, comforting tomato soup paired with grilled cheese, and high-quality breakfast sandwiches. While the café maintains a vibrant, minimalist atmosphere and consistently friendly service, its popularity often leads to significant wait times and a crowded environment. Most patrons agree that the freshness and flavor of the dishes make the experience well worth the effort, especially when visiting during quieter weekday hours. Although the seating process can be hectic, the delicious coffee, artisanal lattes, and generous portions ensure that guests frequently return for another satisfying meal.

It truly is the best brunch place in Montreal. I got the avocado toast & overnight oats & both tasted amazing. I am excited to try their viral pancakes & cheese toast next. Be prepared to stand in line for about 30-60 minutes but in my opinion it is worth the wait.

To the people who complain about the long queues: nobody is forcing you to go to this place during peak hours!! You are not entitled to a business' service more than other customers who also show up for the same thing. People have to stop blaming a business for going viral & not being able to accommodate unusually big waves of customers...
Just go before they open (to skip the long lines) or wait til the hype calms down a little!
Yummy buttery pancakes. Also liked the fact that the grilled cheese had a kick to it

Such a delicious brunch at September! Sunday on the patio in the sun & had the blueberry pancakes, tomato soup with grilled cheese, & both a latte & iced matcha.

Everything was spot on - pancakes were fluffy with so much fresh blueberry & real maple syrup, soup was creamy & comforting & that grilled cheese was perfectly crisp. & the drinks - latte art was beautiful & the iced matcha was smooth, not bitter at all.

Great vibe, friendly staff, busy but worth the wait. Will definitely be back!

Arrive when they open or be prepared to wait in line. We arrived at 8:08am & still had to wait about 15-20 mins before being seated. Ordered the matcha latte (way too sweet), cappuccino (quite good!), the tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich which was absolutely delicious & the blueberry pancakes which were fluffy & tasty. Would recommend! Theres plenty of seating as well: front patio, back patio & a shared indoor dining space. Cute spot in general in a vibrant quirky neighbourhood. Love this area for food!

Found out about this place from tiktok.
I waited over an hour. I went during a very hot day, so bring an umbrella or a fan while waiting in line. i thought i was gonna die from a heat stroke. They do provide free cold water tho
This place had the best chai latte so far.
I got the iconic Grilled cheese & soup. It was really good!
however, The food is over very priced.
I don't think it is worth lining up for an hour to eat here. however, if the line wasnt long i would consider coming back.
The inside space is really small, but there is an outside portion, however there is no fan in the patio, so it felt really hot in there cus there was also no wind. staying inside is the better choice.
I recomend not getting their pastries as there is no lid to prevent flies from coming in. i saw like 4 flies on the pastries, very unsanitary.

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.

Not really my type of place to eat out - it's always busy (& very loud) & there's usually a huge line. But I followed a recommendation to try the pancakes, & they were super tasty. I also had a soup with grilled cheese & it was great as well
