Café September fonctionne comme un sanctuaire minimaliste voué à une alimentation saine axée sur les végétaux et à la préparation artisanale de cafés de spécialité. La cuisine privilégie les produits de saison, proposant des bols de céréales, des salades nutritives et des spécialités fermentées qui soulignent la clarté des saveurs. Chaque plat repose sur des ingrédients complets de haute qualité, sélectionnés pour optimiser la densité nutritionnelle sans aucun ajout inutile. L'espace physique présente une esthétique sobre avec des accents de bois chaleureux et de larges fenêtres, créant un environnement propice à la concentration et aux échanges calmes. La clientèle découvre un menu rigoureusement sélectionné où des profils aromatiques complexes émergent de la simplicité des techniques de rôtissage, de cuisson vapeur et de préparation crue. Cet établissement constitue une destination privilégiée pour ceux qui recherchent une approche disciplinée de la nutrition dans un cadre moderne et intentionnellement silencieux.
September Cafe est largement reconnu comme une destination brunch incontournable à Montréal, salué pour son menu de haute qualité proposant des pancakes exceptionnels, une savoureuse soupe à la tomate avec grilled cheese et des sandwichs déjeuner rassasiants. Bien que l'atmosphère soit souvent décrite comme chaleureuse, branchée et dynamique, la popularité de l'endroit entraîne fréquemment des temps d'attente importants et un environnement bondé qui peut être difficile pour les grands groupes ou ceux en quête de tranquillité. Bien que les avis sur la constance du service et les prix soient partagés, la majorité des visiteurs estiment que la qualité de la nourriture et l'esthétique minimaliste valent largement l'attente. De nombreux clients recommandent d'arriver tôt pour éviter les plus longues files, soulignant que l'expérience culinaire mémorable confirme sa réputation d'adresse locale privilégiée.
This is the most overrated breakfast place in all of Montreal. People who think this place is good haven't properly experienced the Montreal food scene.
The good:
-Staff is friendly
The Bad:
-Very long wait outside
-Very overpriced (18$+tx for pancakes with no fruits or sides)
-Extremely loud, could barely talk with friends
-Seating is extremely uncomfortable, most are seats with no back support.
-The place is tiny & super crowded so you stand in line again inside to order & pay & everyone is in the way
-Burger was a 6/10 meanwhile staff told me it was the best thing on menu. Brioche bun was decent, meat was bad
A place really has to be disappointing for me to give a two stars, I know the restaurant industry is hard, but this place is not it.
When you come here, you expect a queue. & my God, was there a queue. We waited about one hour to get inside, which was frustrating as reservations would be an easy solve. Each time I've tried to come here, I've had the same problem. Great food & fairly quick though. I recommend the pancakes & the breakfast sandwich. Vibes are pretty standard inside but it was a Bit tight as they are obviously trying to fit lots of people in.
Unfortunately, there is no table service even after waiting an hour.
Whilst it was lovely & we enjoyed our time, I would not go back as it's not worth the queue!
Their breakfast sandwich has a special place in my heart & the grilled cheese with tomato soup. & the pancakes…!!!! I would always recommend my friends to come here.

I completely understand the hype of the place. Such a niche vibe. The crowd felt amazing, the place, though tight in space, felt a hearty. I would say that finding space was an issue but if just stick around for 10 - 15 minutes, you will find a nice table.
good coffee, good matcha & good food. Must try is the breakfast sandwhich & their burger. A must try of you are in Montreal for more than 5 days.
Out of all the places we visited in Montreal, this one was my favourite. The pancakes really hit the spot-soft, warm, & perfect with butter & maple syrup, especially in the cold weather. The place was busy, but the food arrived fresh & well presented. Very cozy & pleasant spot for a good breakfast. One small suggestion: adding a side of fruit with the pancakes (banana or berries) would make them perfect.
I took the breakfast sandwich & my friend took the pancakes. The staff is kind, the food meets my standards & the place is clean. There are two clean bathrooms. September Café is known for being consistently full unless the weather is snowy. The culture of the environment is bold & other customers will ask for your seat if you're done with your food. You go in & order at the cashier & sit wherever you want. I recommend this place for pairs, not large groups
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 💯
Visiting from NYC & this spot did not disappoint. The pancakes were fluffy & delicious, the breakfast sandwich was perfectly toasted. Cozy vibe & great service, will definitely return next time we're in Montreal!
Went there mainly for the pancakes. It was my first time here & I had high expectations & feel they were not met. I did not enjoy the pancakes as I found them to be salty which was lightly off putting. I ordered a London fog & found it didn't taste much like one & was more on the cold side. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, well cooked egg on a brioche bun & the toppings. There's zero service in my opinion but once again maybe that's their identity. You stand in line to order, wait for your drink, bring it to your table, they do bring the food to you & that's as far as service goes. You have to get your own maple syrup if need be & even water. I would not like to sit on the high face to face tables as they're so tightly close to each other except if your entire crew takes the entire space. Glad I went, would I go again… debatable.
