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.
Nice little café with interesting menu. The staff are very welcoming & helpful but you can see that they are very busy. I went there with my friend around 10.40 & we had to wait in line outside to get a table as it was packed!
They have tables indoors, outdoors in front of the café & at the back in a little garden.
I ordered the famous traditional pancakes thst i keot seeing online. I was really looking forward to them. They are very fluffy & well made! The serving is huge & vould be shared between 2 people easily, even 3 if it's for kids. I enjoyed the first bites but unfortunately it was too sweet for my taste. I saw other people eat it without problem but i do not eat many sweets in general, i prefer savory foods, so to me it tasted very sweet but it might suit other people's taste. Good thing i had paired it with their homemade lemonade as the sourness of it went well with the sweetness & balanced it all.
My friend got a tomato & burrata toast with ham on the side because it comes without meat. If it was to be ordered again we'd get it without the meat because the toast is quite big & very filling. It was really tasty! I enjoyed it better than the pancakes. I mean it was savory so it suited my taste better!
Their portion sizes are definitely generous & i think that their prices are quite fair. I'd definitely go again to try their other dishes!

Je recommande cet endroit avidement, les serveuses sont hyper accueillantes. La nourriture servie est toujours excellente, elle est fraiche & nourrissante. C'est des portions qui remplissent & on se sent bien après avoir mangé. Possiblement les meilleures pancakes de l'ile de mtl, elles ne sont pas trop sucrées, toujours légères & avec le sirop & le beurre, mmhh quelle expérience délectable ! Ça vaut vraiment le coup de faire un détour & d'attendre en file (parce qu'il y a presque toujours une file) pour manger là, c'est vraiment un brunch incontournable de Montréal !
Foods are amazing the toast & pancakes🤌🏻(+ add up chicken⭐?!!). Drinks are lower than average☹?(can be optional).
We needed to line up for 15mins outside, & get inside order right away. It was too warm with a crowd. If you have a bite of food you will understand tho
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.
Even on a Monday morning this place was busy, & you can definitely tell why. I was very impressed by the tomato soup, & the pancakes were delightful. Super friendly staff. Worth the visit!
the hype is real, the line up is long but so worth the wait. Everything was absolutely divine, I cannot wait to come back & visit. breakfast sandwich, tomato soup, grilled cheese, & pancakes did not miss. Order the whole menu if you have to.

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.
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.
One of my favourite local brunch spots. Love the pancakes & breakfast sandwich. Honestly every item I've tried on the menu really hit home. Only complaint is the ridiculously long line on the weekends & limited seating as well. Going there has to be a time investment in the mornings which is honestly be a detternt.

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.
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!
Délicieux ! C'est le maître mot pour décrire les pancakes offerts par Café September. Sûrement les meilleurs que j'ai eu l'occasion de manger à Montréal.
Mais surtout, surtout, le cadre & l'ambiance donnent envie d'y revenir. Ce style convivial & jovial est parfait pour un vrai boost d'énergie.
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
