Savsav comes across as a bright, airy cafe with high ceilings, plenty of natural light, and a central tree that gives the space a unique atmosphere, making it popular for both work and socializing. Across reviews, the vibe and drinks are often praised, with standout items like the Hangover plate and a strawberry matcha served in a pitcher, while the space can feel noisy and the layout changes have divided opinion. Entrance can be hard to find and prices can be on the higher side, but many still call it a hidden gem in Montréal, well suited for studying, casual brunch, or events. Overall, Savsav's ambience and inventive drinks attract repeat visitors, though experiences with service and consistency in food vary by visit.
Very well decorated & inviting space. Food was pretty good (would recommend offering hot sauce with your Hangover sandwich 😊).
Half the space was filled with people on their laptops/studying & the other half was just people vibing & chatting. Nice music choice but found it excessively loud - esp with a hangover.
Didn't give a 5 because the chaotic energy was a bit off putting & didn't really resonate with the space. Paying full price for drinks & food but not being served water or really experiencing any level of service was a bit strange, otherwise hoping this place settles into the vibe they're going for !

Service was great, food was surprisingly good. The atmosphere was nice & understated. What I liked the most was the sandwich on their Hangover plate. Sooo, so good. I want one every day.
Après avoir fait deux fois le tour du bâtiment pour trouver l'entrée, on se retrouve dans un lieu fort agréable ou le service est rapide & les sandwichs très généreux!
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!

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.
the oat latte was great, the barista was very nice. The sandwich upset me. they piled so much cheap ham it kept falling apart. there was more lettuce on the floor than in my stomach. I would go back for the coffee though
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.
Really cute place to come & study or to catch up with a friend. Good matcha lattes & their PLT sandwich is really good. They turn down the lights once the sun comes down & light up the candles to create a cozy atmosphere.
