Reviews describe Café September as a vibrant, busy brunch spot where pancakes are a must and items like avocado toast, halloumi toast, tomato soup, grilled cheese, and tasty coffee or matcha frequently score highly; the atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, but seating is tight and lines are common, leading to longer waits or turnover concerns, with mixed notes on service depending on the visit and some pricing comments.
Stumbled upon this place because we just wanted to grab some bites & coffee & apple maps showed this was the closest one. Upon arrival, it was busy & there was a line that went out along the side walk. The line goes fast though so if you want to try this place, definitely do. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich & had fries. Multiple seating areas & a small back patio area. 2 Bathroom available Food was good & variety of options on the menu. Service was great. Definitely would recommend! Amenities: Tables, Outdoor seating, Bathroom
I heard SO much about this cafe so I was so excited to finally try it & it did NOT disappoint. Wow the food & the coffee were excellent!! The deluxe breakfast sandwich was so tasty & the halloumi toast with a refreshing coleslaw salad on top was phenomenal! but the star of the show was their perfect 1000/10 chocolate chip cookie with sea salt. It was by far the best cookie i've ever had in my life without exaggeration (MUST TRY) The cashier was awesome & the whole vibe was great! it gets packed pretty quick any day of the week so get there for opening or be prepared to wait in a long line

great coffee & amazing vibe. i only got coffee but all the toasts look amazing & the pancakes look bomb as well. i came on a monday & it was packed. great music & perfect for coworking. you'll see people here all day. clean & rustic interior. well decorated & nice staff.
5 stars until early 2024 3 stars moving forward. Still a chill vibe but way too slow to get a coffee. Unless you're practicing for patience, service has been getting slower & slower almost every time this year. They might wana consider shuffling the staff around for the cashier/barista & put back the OG clique. Food is still excellent! Good job chef
Nice spot to grab a bite with coffee. I love the concept as it's very relaxed & chill. However, it can get very crowded & loud. They don't have AC so the humidity is on some other level on rainy days. The prices are expensive; BUT everything tasted amazing. I absolutely loved the Halloumi toast!!! I added an extra egg on the side & it totaled 17$. My friends burger & fries + cold brew were to die for - it cost 27$. I'll definitely be back for the food alone & chill atmosphere. However, please add AC.
Great little spot to grab a coffee. While the service was slow (Saturday morning rush) the staff were welcoming & attentive. The double Espresso & iced latte we had were great. Will return for sure
September is awesome. Great coffee & snacks (cakes, cookies). I've had both of their breakfast sandwiches & they were both great. I love the consistency of the food & drinks they sell - I can count on being happy every time I stop by, & the staff is always very nice. The one downside is that it can be very busy, so count on waiting for 5+ minutes for your drinks, & perhaps longer if you're ordering a meal.

Food & coffee have always been great! But so so hard to get a seat... Even take out around lunch time was a 45 min wait... It's totally worth it if you are not in the rush!😅
We were recommended this place, & I'm glad we gave it a shot. The grilled cheese soup & pancake were both exceptional; they were distinct & unique. Preparing the coffee was done professionally, & as a coffee enthusiast, I can give them a thumbs up. September Cafe is definitely worth trying out. What's more, the staff were friendly & welcoming, & even during their busy hours, they didn't compromise on service.
Great ambience & veeeery nice staff. It was crowded but we were sitting by the time our food arrived (which was quick!) Portions were big & we actually couldn't finish! We tried grilled cheese with soup & pancakes 🥞 they were both VERY delicious. We enjoyed our food & will definitely be back to try their smoked salmon salad 🥗 The coffee ☕️ was also very well made. Great job guys 👏🏻

Regular stop for me for great coffee. Service is always extremely friendly & warm. The vibe is great, albeit there's generally a swarm of people here at virtually all times. I only get pancakes here because their pancakes have ruined all other pancakes for me. They're the best. The breakfast sandwich also hits the spot. Definitely a good spot.
Good food & coffee but so crowded. To no fault to the owners but personally dont feel very comfortable when people are squeezed in like sardines & everyone is watching ur every move for the chance at a table.
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)
