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.
Un endroit surfait : la décoration est très froide, seulement 3 tables pour 12 personnes, & le reste des places façon bar, tous en ligne. Pas pratique pour se retrouver à plusieurs. Très peu de place pour bouger. La nourriture est très classique & chère. Très peu de boissons autres que cafés & chocolat. Pas de bière ni d'alcool en général. Une énorme attente dehors ce dimanche matin, 45mn & cela n'en valait pas la peine.
Pour autant, les toasts son généreux & goûteux, mention spéciale pour celui à l'halloumi. Les pancakes sont aussi bien garnis & très bons.
À faire uniquement en dehors des heures de pointe.
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.

Super cool spot with delicious food! Gets super busy so there might be a wait/line, but it's worth it! Try the halloumi toast - highly recommend. & the pancakes are a must too!
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.
Don't get discouraged by the line - there's always one, but it moves fast. The place has a chill, surf-meets-September café vibe & a relaxed menu to match. The halloumi toast was great, but the tomato soup with grilled cheese was definitely the highlight. We'll probably brave the cold just to come back & try more of their menu!
Nice breakfast spot. Gets very busy, so come early or be prepared to stand in line.
I got the classic pancakes which were great. If you're coming with someone, easily share with someone & get two sides to share together. You can taste the buttermilk & flavours.
I also got an orange juice & the halloumi. They fried the cheese into thin pieces which is nice as a side dish. Would come back to try other dishes.

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.
Excellents pancake vraiment, le halloumi toast était particulièrement généreux & succulent , l endroit est super, le service Excellent, la vibe aussi ... un des meilleurs cafe brunch de mtl ... faut juste avoir la chance d'avoir un endroit pour s asseoir. On a aussi essayé le fried chicken burger , le grilled cheese (.spicy ) avec salade & frites . Tout était excellent
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.

Halloumi toast is amazing! Its extremely filling, hearty, & fun to eat 😊 I paired it with an iced chai & I feel like it was a perfect combo! Staff is also very kind & lighthearted. Despite the popularity, ambiance is not overwhelming since there is plenty of space to eat outside as well (: Truly a gem!!
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.
Everything was great at this café!
We had the avocado toast, salmon, halloumi toast, chicken salad, & pancakes: it was all delicious.
Definitely a must-visit spot!
The food is top tier. I ordered a Halloumi sandwich & it's soo good, the pesto underneath with arugula, cheese & nuts.🤌🏻🤌🏻 my friend & I also ordered the pancake. It's hella big & fluffy. Despite the waiting time a bit long because it's so crowded but overall soo good

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.
Love this place! Portions are big & filling, but more importantly, it tastes very good. The halloumi sandwich & the fries are must-tries. Atmosphere is generally great, but sometimes it can get a little too crowded.
