Café September est décrit comme un spot de brunch très populaire et animé, où la file d'attente est quasi inévitable, surtout les week-ends, et les places assises manquent souvent. Le menu se concentre sur quelques incontournables bien exécutés: pancakes moelleux, avocado toast et halloumi toast, tomate soupe et grilled cheese, avec des coups de cœur pour le sandwich au poulet et le matcha. Le café et le matcha sont généralement bien notés, tout comme les boissons et les portions généreuses. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et décontractée, avec une énergie vive et une décoration simple mais efficace; mais ce cadre peut devenir bruyant et surpeuplé, rendant l'expérience un peu chaotique lorsque tout le monde est là. Le service est décrit de manière contrastée: certains louent la gentillesse et l'efficacité du personnel, d'autres évoquent une impression d'imprécision ou de manque d'accueil lorsque le lieu est très chargé ou que la gestion des places est difficile. Malgré les inconvénients, Café September est largement recommandé comme l'un des meilleurs brunchs de la ville, valant le détour pour la qualité des plats et des boissons, avec la recommandation d'y aller tôt ou en semaine pour éviter les files et profiter pleinement du menu.
Excellent coffee place with great food options.
The pancakes are excellent & à must try. I have also tried the avocado toast which is delicious on brioche bread, with a generous amount of avocado.
The halloumi toast is also very good again generous portions.
I like their matcha latte which is good.
The only inconvenience is that you can have a long line to eat there especially in the summer & week-ends & there is no reservations.

Incredible must try spot! It was very busy on a Saturday morning but the staff was quick to keep us in the loop about wait times. Incredibly friendly & kind staff, beautiful interior, & the food…. WOW. My partner & I ordered a macchiato & a matcha for drinks. If you're a matcha drinker, you'll be pleased to hear that they serve ceremonial grade. Both of our drinks were perfect! We shared the pancakes & the avocado toast. I think that was some of the best, most flavorful avocado toast I've ever had. The pancakes were so yummy as well, perfectly fluffy & served with a very generous portion of maple syrup. I can't recommend this place enough!
Probably the best pancakes I've ever had, the avocado toast was unreal as well, coming from someone who makes it regularly for breakfast theirs just hit differently.
Also tried the grilled cheese + tomato soup. It was good nothing to go wild about.
Also it's very busy & first come first serve we were able to get seats fairly quickly. Would definitely go back just for the pancakes alone 💯
Food is good but wait time & price are ridiculous. Why am I playing 20$ for toast, 1 egg & avocado? Why did I wait an hour to get it? Why did I have to fight with someone to get a spot to sit?
Excellent brunch/lunch spot! Line is always long so recommend getting there before 10am to avoid long waits. Avocado toast & halloumi toast were excellent & filling. Pancakes were superb, salty & generous maple syrup! Iced vanilla latte was delicious.
You order at the bar & seat yourself. I heard there's always a line, but it moved quickly. The avocado toast was flavorful, dressed with maybe a cilantro lime sauce? It was superior to all other avocado toast I've had. The pancakes were so fluffy, topped with salt flakes. We enjoyed a flat white & latte, espresso was good. The cafe was tastefully designed. They have indoor & outdoor seating. Highly recommend!
Visited from Toronto on a vacation to Montreal. Found it online & saw how good the food looked. When we arrived, there was a line outside (a good sign, but never fun to wait!!!) Once in line, we only waited for about 20 minutes. They gave us a physical menu (which I loved) & the prices honestly make sense with the quality of food. We got: the tomato burrata toast, the avocado toast, a side fry, & an iced latte & iced chai. The employees working were so sweet, had such a fun energy. Barista was so cool.
The food was genuinely sooo good. They give you a number & bring it to you. It was a cool mix of a cafe plus a restaurant. I highly recommend the avocado toast & the fries. Fries were crispy & NOT soggy/oily. LOVE!!!!
definitely busy & a bit of a wait, so if you don't like that vibe, don't come. but the food is worth it.

Very nice place, good & welcoming atmosphere, absolutely place to visit at least few time to try all their breakfast menu, pancakes & avocado sandwich is one of the best
We went there on Sunday & had to be on the line for around 50 mins, but was definitely worth it. Everything tasted so nice & fresh. Loved the halloumi toast, & the breakfast sandwich & avocado toast were pretty good as well.
My go to brunch place. I've had the best tomato soup with grilled cheese here. The place is a bit crowded so be prepared to stand in line, but it is so worth it. I have also had the avocado toast & halloumi toast, which is also really good.

The most amazing way to start a visit to my home-city with a new favourite brunch spot. My partner & I came here for brunch. There was a line-up outside but it moved at a good pace, & once inside it was a bit chaotic. The seating system was unique & we weren't sure we were going to stay, but we decided to stick it out. We are so glad we did. The food was absolutely to die for - we each had avocado toast with added smoked salmon (OMG) & we shared pancakes which were moist, fluffy, & mouth-watering. The cortados we had were yummy & the iced matcha latte was delicious. The staff are so kind. We struck up a conversation with barista Sonara (I hope that's correct), & that catapulted an amazing first day back home (they mentioned Jazz fest was on, & we managed to see Nas). Everything about our experience here was so memorable - the food of course, the staff, & the vibrant energy with Montreal charm. Very worth the wait & seating system. We love it so much we bought merch. You NEED to check this place out. We can't wait to come back.
We loved it so much we went back-to-back days for breakfast. The pancakes were even more delicious than they look! No matter what time of day you, you must get the pancakes. It's big enough to be shared for two & worth going just for them. The avocado toast is delicious as well. The plates are more than if enough, so come hungry or be prepared to share. Aside from the food, the drinks were your classic cafe options & delicious. If you can squeeze in dessert, I recommend the chocolate chip cookie. Overall, our favorite breakfast place in Montreal, & we will be back.
September Surf Café is a must-visit in Montreal.
Their Classic Pancakes, Avocado Toast, & Halloumi Cheese Sandwich are the favourites, but the Halloumi Sandwich stands out the most. Its complex, well-balanced flavours never get boring, & it's satisfying to the last bite.
Don't miss the Chocolate Chip Cookie & Matcha Cookie for takeout-they're perfect little treats.
It's easy to spend over $60 for two, even just for breakfast, but the quality & atmosphere make it absolutely worth it.
If you want to avoid the lines, arrive at 8 AM.
Came here on a Sunday morning there was a line however it did move quickly. Tables are limited & mostly filled however we got lucky & snagged one right away. You order & pay at the counter & they bring it out. Had a mimosa & ice matcha they were decent but nothing special. The avocado toast was quite good however I don't understand the hype around the pancakes as they were very dry . Overall not bad I would still come back for the toast.
