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.

good but not worth lining up for. it's just a regular buttermilk pancake you can get elsewhere. coffee was fine but too milky. I've definitely had better breakfast sandwiches too.

they also have very limited seating, you can tell that it's meant to be primarily a quick grab & go cafe, not really a food spot. if they want to maintain the momentum they need to respect their customers by operating like a restaurant so there aren't such long lines.

We missed the line up for kitchen food. It was 2:00pm. However, we are still be able to have coffee here. They taste good. Cortado has real good espresso. Ice Latte has the perfect balance of coffee & milk.

This is easily one of the best cafes in the city. The coffee is consistently excellent & the staff are always very friendly even when it gets busy during the morning rush. I appreciate that the space is kept very clean & the seating is comfortable enough to stay for a while. It has a great local vibe that is hard to find these days. Whether you are looking for a place to catch up with a friend or just want a quiet corner to read a book this is the place to go.

I think they can improve the wait time but seem they are not doing anything about it. I just updated my review to one star because this morning a guy just crossed the line to pass by everyone, so apparently for coffee you don't wait but for food you wait!! What a weird rule! Never going back to this place!

Good food & nice staff, but seating a bit limited if you're not taking just a coffee.

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.

I live around the corner & walk past September cafe multiple times a day. Today, alas, my girlfriend & I decided to give them a try. Overall, our takeaway was that this place was way overhyped & too expensive. The food was decent, but between the long line, limited menu, chaotic atmosphere inside, & paying $91 for a toast, burger, pancakes, & a coffee I will not be returning again. Solid cafe at best that somehow got way overhyped & people will go because there's a line.
