Savsav is described as a bright, stylish hidden cafe with large windows that let in plenty of light and a calm yet lively vibe, though some reviews find it chaotic and noisy with music that can feel overpowering. The space and decor get praise for being inviting and photogenic, making it a popular spot for studying or working, with high ceilings and plentiful daylight that attract laptop crowds, while others say the vibe can be a bit off when the energy feels crowded or unfocused. Coffee and drinks are frequently highlighted as strong or inventive, including a standout strawberry matcha served in a carafe, though a hojicha hot chocolate disappointed some and a few beverages are critiqued for being overpriced or overly loaded with ice. Food receives mixed reactions, with favorites like the Hangover plate sandwich and tuna sandwich earning praise from some, while others find portions small or not worth the price. Service ranges from friendly and efficient to slow or unfriendly, and there are notes about long waits, a sometimes unclear ordering process, and occasional kitchen closures, balanced by overall appreciation for the ambiance, the concept, and the potential for a good meet up or work session despite the caveats.
Tried the strawberry matcha & it was actually really nice
They seem to have changed the layout - although the additional couchs are cute, their positionning are all wrong. Just looking around made me feel nauseous. I get wanting MORE people IN the café, but the vibes arent the same. The previous layout was much better. It made the space breathe more & for me, I don't feel as relaxed visiting - because the music is also obnoxiously too loud.
Positive notes
The employees are always sweet.
The service is relatively fast
Coffee is nice & the matcha was good ( 2nd time experience for match & sav sav's is good )
Probably gonna consider only grabbing to go from now on
Le lieu est correct, style industriel avec de grandes fenêtres & beaucoup de lumière naturelle. Le serveur était sympa & les cafés bons.
Par contre, la nourriture est assez ordinaire! surtout l'assiette du matin avec une'salade de saison' qui se résume à une grosse carotte entière, un concombre & un radis coupé en deux.
Je recommanderais plutôt l'endroit pour boire un café tranquille & travailler sur son ordinateur que pour un vrai brunch.
cute café, dans des pichets en plus, mais sofas un peu sales & je trouve ça un peu désagréable de se faire enlever une boisson-petit snack d'autre part quand j'ai acheté chez vous, sans préavis
Petit café caché au coeur d'un immeuble a bureau. Variété de breuvages chauds & froids assez varié ainsi que des viennoiseries originales. Je recommande le matcha à base de confiture de fraises. Plusieurs places assises & bien ensoleillé.
Un endroit vraimenr bien pour la lumière & me matcha ou café. C'est super cute & le service est bon. Pas troppp cher. Je recommande chaudement merci pour le bel espace 🤍
Really cool, hidden cafe. It has more of a younger, student crowd. There is wifi & the coffee orders are perfect for two people. You get a carafe with each order. The seating isn't so comfortable though but other than that its an awesome cafe.
this is one of the best cafés I've ever tried like literally all of their drinks all of their food, exceptional like I've never eaten sandwich that is that delicious like I'm not even joking. It was as if I was high & eating it, but I wasn't even high & it tasted that good. It's crazy. I was genuinely blown away.
I love love love this cafe!! Went like twice but it was such a nice ambiance
I kinda wished it closed later than 5h like before as I dont have time to make it before 5 but love the staff, the matcha & the atmosphere!!
J'adore cet endroit! Tout est bon, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & cozy, & l'espace est lumineux & agréable. Contrairement à d'autres cafés, on ne se sent pas serré les uns sur les autres, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus plaisante. J'y suis allé plusieurs fois & à chaque visite, c'est un vrai plaisir.
Le seul (petit) point à noter : le Wi-Fi est ouvert à tous, donc la connexion peut prendre un instant au début, mais une fois connecté, ça fonctionne très bien.
Bref, un endroit parfait pour se poser, travailler ou simplement profiter d'un bon café dans un cadre relaxant!

I love going to Savsav. It's been my go-to spot for a while now The food is always delicious with good portion sizes & their coffee never disappoints. The staff are great people, always warm & welcoming. Hidden café thats totally worth
Cute café. Gotta know where the entrance is, check their IG. It's got tall ceilings, lots of sunlight (you might act actually end up with the sun too in your face in the winter low sun). Good food & coffee. I got a strawberry matcha (I think it's limited time) & it came in a big carafe so I could have easily shared.
Good spot to read, study, work, catch up with friends. There are some designated no laptop tables even. A cozy couch section. Some 2 person tables. Some communal large tables. I can't recall seeing plugs since I used my laptop battery.
Version café d'un speakeasy en quelque sorte grand espace avec une belle déco & des choix de drinks intéressants. J'ai pris le matcha à la fraise, un vrai délice!
