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.
Très belle expérience au Septembre café. La cuisine est bonne & le café aussi 😋 Bonne place ! On a passé un bon moment & nous n'avons pas attendu trop longtemps malgré l'achalandage d'un dimanche midi ensoleillé 🌞

Café très occupé par la clientèle du coin. Quelques places assises & deux bancs dehors, en avant. Chiens acceptés. Oui, ils jappent... Bouffe très bonne (Burger, sandwich dej, bol chia, grilled cheese) café excellent (extra dry macciato). Service amical & souriant. Belle petite adresse locale.
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.

Me love this place! Best breakfast sandwich for a pretty good price. I also love their halloumi toast.. we love a little sweet & salty moment. It's kinda like a 2 for one special where u get the toast with a giant salad on top. We love. The Cajun chicken salad didn't look too hot. My friend didn't mind tho. It's also always very busy. Good for them. Would highly recommend. Also very smooth matcha.
gladiator musical chairs on a Saturday morning your jam? Well you've come to the right place! owners have no door control as ppl keep pouring in when there's clearly no room to sit. Server was cool, but just as frustrated not being able to find an open spot. Ended up taking the food to go.

Mon café préféré à Montréal, j'aime l'ambiance, la nourriture est délicieuse (le toast halloumi est incroyable), le prix est raisonnable, le café très bon. Le seul point négatif est qu'il y a souvent du monde. Je recommande a 200%
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!😅
September Cafe is a culinary gem where delectable dishes meet an enchanting atmosphere. The place buzzes with activity, a testament to its popularity. While securing a spot might be a challenge due to its bustling nature, the delightful food & vibrant ambiance make the wait absolutely worthwhile.
