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.

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.

Good coffee but a bit overhyped. I came before opening hours & there was still a lineup ! Lol . To be honest , the lineup made the marketing, i would pass by Little Burgundy streets often & there was always a line up at this café & i wondered why so one day, i decided to wake up early at 7:00 to go to this place, so i could be at the door at 8:00 so i could escape the line up & try the coffee here but I couldn't!! There was still a line up!! i knew that one of Montreal's oldest traditions is to line up. If there is no orange cones , there is always a lineup instead!! People line up for everything & nothing here.. so yeah, welcome to the September cafe that should be renamed' the line up' cafe.

This was our go to coffee place for morning daycare runs, as we live in the neighbourhood. Now parents are expected to wait outside with those waiting for table service to dine in. & there was no line-up inside either.
Very disappointing that September has a lack of consideration for working parents that actually live in the neighbourhood….

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

Excellent café with a really refined & welcoming atmosphere. September Café stands out for its attention to detail, both in the quality of the food & the overall experience. The coffee is consistently well made, with balanced flavors & great presentation, & the menu offers a thoughtful selection of dishes that feel fresh & carefully crafted.

The space itself is beautifully designed, with a clean, modern aesthetic that still feels warm & inviting. It's the kind of place where you can sit comfortably whether you're catching up with someone or spending time on your own. The staff are friendly, attentive, & contribute to a smooth & enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Overall, a standout café that delivers on quality, ambiance, & service, definitely worth visiting.
