About

Savsav presents an industrial aesthetic defined by soaring ceilings and a flood of natural light that fills the open room. The menu centers on creative preparations like strawberry matcha served in large glass carafes alongside a variety of fresh, savory plates. The physical layout utilizes the spacious, high-ceilinged architecture to maintain an airy feel, though the entrance remains discreet without prominent exterior markings. The interior provides a distinct, sun-drenched environment for those utilizing the space for work or socializing. Every table offers a view of the minimalist surroundings, where the focus remains on the interplay between the stark, metallic structure and the colorful, vibrant drinks. The establishment maintains a unique character that prioritizes raw, functional beauty paired with a focused selection of house-made refreshments.

Review Summary

Savsav is widely regarded as a unique, hidden gem in Montreal, celebrated for its beautiful industrial aesthetic, high ceilings, and abundant natural light that creates an ideal atmosphere for working, socializing, or hosting private events. Many patrons praise the quality of their signature drinks, particularly the strawberry matcha served in generous carafes, alongside a variety of popular brunch items. While the space is frequently described as a stylish and vibrant destination, experiences regarding service and noise levels can be inconsistent. Visitors often note that the entrance is difficult to locate due to a lack of exterior signage, and some report mixed feelings about staff friendliness and the comfort of the seating layout. Despite occasional frustrations regarding crowded conditions or varying service quality, many find the venue to be a standout spot for its ambiance, creative menu offerings, and distinct character.

Sav Sav was one of my favorite matcha spots in the city - until this past weekend.

I've always appreciated their creativity with drinks, but this weekend the vibe was completely ruined by one employee (moustache man… it's clearly not just me…see other reviews 👀).

He made two matchas - one with coconut milk for me (lactose-sensitive girlie over here), & one with regular milk for my friend, who hates coconut milk. Then he plopped them down, said he didn't know which was which, & walked away. Not exactly the kind of attitude you want when you're paying $10+ for a drink

I messaged the owner, who acknowledged my message… but no apology, no offer to make it right, not even a'sorry you had a bad experience.' Just bad taste all around.

Sadly, won't be going back - there are too many other good spots in this city that get both matcha & customer service right.

Like many spots in Montréal, Sasav ends up relying heavily on its cachet & cool location. The food & drinks are still in the process of catching up to the atmosphere. That is not to say the food & drinks are bad. They are good, but not excellent. The prices are on the high end of what is expected for a Montréal but they are not unexpected.

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 had been there for happy hour last year summer! It is a great place to have drinks & brunch! Tartine salmon is one of my favourite! Sandwich with Salami, pesto, cheese & hot honey 🍯 is also great!

Super confusing entrance if it's your first time here. You have to enter through the main entrance at 780 Brewster st. If you come during opening, don't expect them to have any food/bakery items ready. Good (expensive) coffee & drinks, & lots of seating.

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!

Cute cafe with a bright, airy atmosphere. The big windows bring in a lot of natural sunlight & there are different seating arrangements, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee with friends, or get some work done at the communal table. Music on top of voices can be a little loud at times. Food & drinks wise, got a chai latte & mocha, both very tasty. The food as well was pretty good, we tried the grilled cheese with tomato soup, & the smoked fish sandwich. We wanted a sweet treat & got the chocolate dessert which was rich & decadent (we couldn't finish it).

Great food & drinks! I ordered a tuna salad didn't expect it to be this good ! It had caviar, slices of albacore tuna & potatoes with a delicious sauce to bring it all together. Also got the matcha daffogato where the matcha shot is cold with a refreshing vanilla ice cream. Highly recommend! Very good price for the dish as well. My friend got the breakfast sandwich which was tasty as well & nicely seasoned.
