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.

Food is alright. The sausage tasted like Italian sausage not breakfast sausage. It is also to thick. The bread was not toasted enough. The omelet part was delicious, as was the mayo. Very friendly staff & nice environment. The matcha was very good & had no lumps. It was whisked to perfection.

[Edit]

Went back, upping to 4 stars. The tomato soup is fantastic, full of interesting flavours. Strawberry matcha is delicious & you get a full pitcher. The grilled cheese comes with a delicious lacy cheese crust as well.

[Edit] bumping to 5 stars. Food is now incredible.

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.

J'aime tellement ce café. La déco est incroyable. Délicieux matcha latte glacé à la fraise… & c'est génial qu'ils le proposent en pichet.

Nice ambiance & friendly staff, but not the best spot if you're looking to study or work - most tables are reserved for dining, & the few available spots with outlets fill up quickly. The matcha latte is excellent: smooth, rich, & generously sized - definitely big enough to share between two people. The breakfast sandwich was just okay; the sausage had a strange herbal flavor that wasn't really to my taste, & overall it felt overpriced for what you get. Great for a quick coffee catch-up, but maybe not ideal for working or breakfast.

Café parfait pour le télétravail ! Ambiance respectueuse, nourriture & cafés excellents ! Le matcha est vraiment un incontournable.

Difficile de stationner en voiture par contre.

Such a cool spot but kind of hidden. Matcha latte was a really good size for the price but unfortunately did not taste any matcha only milk.

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.
