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.
I've been there once. Good place, but it's really small, more like a grab coffee & walk-out place than sitting & sipping place. I was wearing a jacket, but there was no place to hang it. Only two spots at the bar were free, & I had to somehow hold my jacket, my purse, & manage to eat the pancakes. There were many people around staying in the queue, who also barely had space standing between tables. Not comfortable at all. Although the food was good 👍🏻
L'attente dépasse souvent les 30-40 minutes commande comprise mais il vaut le coup! Le brunch est délicieux, les pancakes sont vraiment incroyable & le cadre est plutôt sympa. Les tables dehors ne sont pas très agréables mais il y a quelques tables à l'intérieur qui sont en hauteur & un peu mieux pour manger. Probablement un des meilleurs brunch de Montréal !
Les pancakes étaient tout simplement SUCCULENTS. Tout était très très bon. Le lieu n'est néanmoins pas très bien aménagé pour manger sur place, il y a très peu d'espaces où s'installer & par conséquent beaucoup d'attente.
Simply: Great food. Breakfast sandwich & grilled halloumi toast are incredible. Good pancakes too. Seating's a bit restricted & lines are long but for good reason - incredibly worth it every time. Line moves pretty fast & they're v efficient with the demands so even if it looks long, it moves fast & so worth it at the end!
The best iced latte in Montreal! September Surf is a very cool cafe in a cute neighbourhood. The food & coffee is excellent, the prices are really good too! I also love the classic breakfast sandwich, pancakes & avocado toast. I haven't tried other things but I have heard everything non the menu is delicious. I visit a few times a week & the quality is always there. However, often (especially on weekends), you can be waiting over an hour outside in line. In the summer it gets quite hot as there aren't many trees near by. The staff works really hard trying to get ppl through & they have a good system set up but it still takes FOREVER & can be very overstimulating/ loud. Perhaps an order ahead system could help fast track some orders? Either way it's such a minor issue compared to the quality I still frequent September.
One of my favorite cafes in montreal! The avocado toast is a must - I especially appreciate the touch of pumpkin seeds! I've visited this cafe a few times & everything is always on point. The pancakes are incredibly fluffy & the scones are perfectly crisp & sweet! The matcha & cappuccinos are so good. The bone broth is also perfect during winter - the fresh ginger & turmeric are so flavorful. The cafe is always packed but the line always moves relatively quickly & the service is super friendly!

This café is one of the best spots for a quick breakfast sandwich, pancakes, & cookies. Their fresh orange juice is far superior to the bottled variety. While there's a long queue on weekends, it only attests to the café's popularity & demand, & it's well worth the wait. A must-visit!
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.
Been wanting to go here forever, & it did not disappoint! Just an FYI before going, it is busy all days of the week at all times so it may be difficult finding seating! I got the classic pancakes with an addition of strawberries with ham on the side & I loved it! It was extremely filling though, so it was difficult to finish all of it. My lemonade was super good but very sour! My friend got the avocado toast which she really liked, but she said there was an odd combination of tastes when it came to the spicy spices & the sweetness of the avocado. She also did not know the egg would be cold. Her chai latte was very good! Would recommend!

Adorable place with delicious food! We got the classic pancakes & the halloumi toast, both were phenomenal with huge portion sizes. Not very much seating & gets busy fast but definitely worth a wait.
Exceptional! Definitely understand the hype behind the cafe. Pancakes were amazing! Fluffy, buttery & melt if your mouth. The fresh strawberries complimented it perfectly. The halloumi toast was also yummy. The apples & dried cranberries in the slaw cut the richness & made the dish well balanced. Even on a Tuesday afternoon it was still busy. Will definitely be back!

Super adresse de brunch / déjeuner ! L'avocado toast & les pancakes sont divins. C'est un peu bruyant à l'intérieur malheureusement mais je recommande néanmoins fortement cette addresse.
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 👏🏻
