Les avis décrivent Café September comme un brunch dynamique et très fréquenté, où les pancakes sont souvent mis en avant et où des plats comme le toast à l'avocat, le halloumi toast, la soupe à la tomate et le grilled cheese reçoivent de bons retours, tout comme le café ou le matcha de qualité; l'ambiance est énergique et conviviale, mais l'espace peut être serré et les files d'attente fréquentes, ce qui peut rallonger l'attente et influencer le rapport qualité-prix selon les visites, avec des expériences de service variables.
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.

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!
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.
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
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.
You can tell that it's popular because all the other restaurants on the street are empty & there's a line here. A little overpriced but I am gonna dream about that Avacado toast!
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.
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.

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!
Good food (I had the matcha latte & the avocado toast), friendly service & cozy place. It was a tad bit expensive but I expect that from cute cafes. I will say most seating is stools, which may not be a problem for most people but I have back issues so it was uncomfortable for me.
C'est vraiment populaire donc il y a beaucoup de personnes & nous nous marchons un peu sur les pieds. C'est petit alors si vous voulez manger sur place ce n'est pas facile de trouver une place. Malgré cela, le service était parfait. Le avocado toast était troop bon. Je le recommande. Je vais fortement y retourner.
