Overall, Café September emerges as a buzzing Montreal brunch staple, beloved for fluffy pancakes, avocado toast, halloumi toast, tomato soup with grilled cheese, and a compact yet flavorful menu that tends to deliver comfort food and solid coffee. The vibe is lively and casual, with surf-inspired decor and a crowded, sometimes noisy atmosphere that makes seating tight and the space feel busy. Lines are long, especially on weekends, but many note that the wait is worth it for the quality and consistency of the food. Standout items frequently praised include the pancakes, avocado toast, halloumi toast, and the tomato soup with grilled cheese, while the matcha and coffee are commonly described as satisfying. Service is mixed, ranging from friendly and efficient to overwhelmed during peak hours, and the ordering system (counter service with self seating) can feel hectic. Overall, it offers a dependable brunch experience with strong flavors, provided patience with crowds and limited seating are acceptable.

This café was all the hype with a long waiting line. We were able to sit outside, it was a super nice day but I have to say the'tables' are rather small which could make it hard to eat but the food is super worth it so we tend to make do. I had a matcha latte & the halloumi sandwich that was topped with a fresh salad with a maple syrup dressing. This tasted absolutely heavenly that I even recreated the concept at home. My friends took the fried chicken sandwich & said it was great.

Personal go-to. Friendly staff, good service.

Expect a line-up but moves pretty fast. The place is always packed, but we usually find seats, especially during the summer.

I always return to the halloumi toast. Chia bowl is a tasty surprise. Pancakes are good too. Breakfast sandwich is alright.

Coffee is always very well executed.

Super café! La déco est super sympa, les serveuses au top & la nourriture délicieuse. Le toast à l’halloumi & les pancakes sont excellents, pareil pour le club sandwich. & c’est super sympa de prendre le petit déj sur la terrasse au soleil!
