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.
September Café is easily my favorite brunch spot in the city.
The atmosphere is always on point, a cool, trendy crowd that gives the place a great energy.
The food is amazing, fresh, flavorful, & consistently delicious. & the coffee? Just as impressive. Rich, well-balanced, & exactly what you want with a great brunch.
If you're looking for a go-to brunch place with great vibes, excellent food, & really good coffee, this is it.
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.

The food was so good & worth the hype. The coffee was also great. Their pastries are also amazing. I felt the service was okay & there isn't much seating inside.
Absolutely amazing brunch spot. I love that the menu is not too big & that they really focus on doing a few things very well, while still offering good variety. The pancakes are iconic & a must try. They are the perfect balance of fluffy, sweet, savoury, buttery, & everything you want in a pancake. The food quality is excellent, portion sizes are generous, & prices are very reasonable.
The matcha & coffee are great, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service is kind & friendly. It does get quite busy, so be prepared to wait, but it is well worth it for one of the best brunches I have had.
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.
Most of places for seating are like social table & bar section.
You need prepare yourself self for long standing in a line & outside.
You need to stand in the line even inside for your order, then you can seat & waiter/waitress will serve your order by number or they call you in the counter. It makes the ambiance too noisy.
Even though there's always a lineup but its one of my favorite local brunch spots. They provided great coffee. & the food is amazing. We love the Pancake with the maple syrup & butter on top, such a good combination. & i love the halloumi toast, it comes with toast, grilled cheese & mixed veggies on top. It gives the perfect tastes with their dressings. Also the tomato soup is really good.
So happy that we can finally stop by at this place.
We went on a weekday around 11am & the wait was pretty long! This place seems to always have a line & although the food & everything was good, it's definitely overrated! We waited almost 30 mins after ordering & paying for coffee & breakfast sandwich to-go. After eating & drinking the food, it didn't feel memorable & I'm certain I can find same or better elsewhere for a fraction of the price & time. Overall, it was fun trying it but I wouldn't consider ever going back merely because of how the wait is… doesn't feel worth it!
Yes there's a line & all the tables are taken, but somehow the line moves quickly & seats open up.
The varied menu is delicious & such good value that it sometimes feels like inflation missed September. The pancakes, cashew chicken salad, salted chocolate chip cookie, or nourishing bone broth are some of my favorites. The coffees & matches are especially good, hot or iced. Also, they're thoughtfully open on Monday!
Loved the vibe, food & coffee of this gem in Montreal.
I had my first breakfast in Quebec here & I felt welcomed.
My pancakes were full of maple syrup & the oat latte was just perfectly done (not too hot, not lukewarm - just on point).
Music was good too
I've been coming to September 2-3 times a month for a few years now & I'll probably never stop going. Consistent coffee & matcha (always delicious, especially when made by barista Sonora). Consistent food (also always delicious). The breakfast sandwich is a fave of mine, as well as the tomato soup with grilled cheese. I do love the pancakes & the halloumi toast as well! But really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I find the prices are well worth the value. Only downside is the seating areas since it's normally so packed. I recommend going on a weekday if you can or close to when they open on the weekend.
Literally the best cinnamon bun & mocha I've ever had. Seating & space was way too small - they should make this a bigger space. The crowds make this an unnecessarily stressful experience & you can't hear your friends but otherwise food & coffee were 10/10
