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.
I love this place. Its my favorite expensive coffee shop now. I only came twice but the coffee , tea & breakfast sandwich deluxe were all mouthwatering. Keep in mind this is something that will cost you 15$ for a sandwich & beverage but for me it was worth the cost

Loved this surf themed cafe, warm & cozy vibes. Reminded me of home. The avocado toast was on point. Flat white was incredible. If I lived in MTL, I'd come here all the time!
The best avocado toast I've ever had! The combination of the spices used in the dish was so tasty & made the old avocado toast something new & special! The halloumi toast is amazing, too. I liked the loaded veggies on top. This is my absolute favourite place for coffee. Just the place is so crowded during the weekend & you have to wait a bit (which is worth it!).
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.

My friend & I wanted to try this café after seeing it on tiktok. We got the fries 🍟 grilled cheese with tomato soup & the breakfast sandwhich deluxe 🥪 The fries were a little too salty for my liking however the grilled cheese & tomato soup were a 10/10! The sandwich was my favorite part, I recommend you get it with pickles. I got an iced matcha & my friend got an iced latte. The latte was very enjoyable however my matcha felt too light. Hope this review helps!
September Café is an absolute gem in Montreal! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm & inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, making you feel right at home. The coffee is superb, & their pastries are a delight. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to work or a relaxing place to meet friends, September Café is the perfect choice. I can’t recommend it enough! It gets very busy at times but it’s worthwhile.
I had the best avocado toast that I’ve ever had at this cafe. There was an acidic element that brightened the whole dish & balanced out the rich avocado & the boiled egg. The coffee was also fantastic & would definitely come back in the future!
