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.
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!
More of a 4.5 than a 4/5. The food is absolutely delicious, I get why this place is always busy! The chai was good but not the best I’ve had. Even though the cafe is very busy, they have lots of places to sit. It cost me around 19$ for 2 iced chais & a side of fries
The food is absolutely amazing, loved the sandwich breakfast deluxe, I would have it every single day If I could. Coffee is good too.
Super lovely service, everyone is very kind.
Pancakes were nice but missed some fruits or anything on top.
The only thing is that the place inside is not too comfortable to sit.

Quite trendy spot for coffee & brunch
You place your order at the counter & pick your seat. Staff is great. The food is wowowoow.
Great coffee & breakfast sandwiches!
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!
