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.

I absolutely loved the vibe & it felt like I could stay there forever. Matcha was amazing & everything felt so relaxing & timeless. It almost was as if I could melt into the culture-shock & still be concsious? It was different, unique, & a true hidden gem.

One of the best kept secret cafe workspaces. (you can't really see it from the street). Such a Montreal vibe. House music, big windows, lots of people working, good vibes. Delicious croissants, chocolatines, flat whites.

Brunch at Savsav came with a bit of a mini adventure at the start. It wasn't easy to find, there are no clear signs, & it honestly took me about 10 minutes just to locate the entrance. But once you finally step inside… it's a whole different story.
The space opens up beautifully with a really nice vibe. High ceilings, lots of natural light, & these big trees right in the middle that give the place a unique atmosphere.
I ordered the bagel salade de poulet it was good. Super fresh ingredients, full of flavor, & just really satisfying. I paired it with a latte coconut milk.
The place is great whether you're going solo or with friends. There are big tables if you want to work, & couches if you just want to chill, read, or hang out.
The only downside is that it can get too noisy with the music & people talking loudly, but it didn't really take away from the experience.

Updating from recent visit

Deducting point for atmosphere reasons

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

Great vibes. Great music/beats. Great food. Great coffee. Easy to get a table at 12 on a Tuesday. Comfy seating. Great for working if that's your style. Unique plates & drinks.

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 !

Savsav is a hidden gem, IYKYK In my opinion one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Montréal. Such a cool vibe, very welcoming & good service. The food is delicious & their special drinks are tasty. Good spot for brunch or to work/study. Very bright with a lot of natural light. Un incontournable dans Saint-Henri!

Love the vibe in here! Nice place to work.

Their pain au chocolat is one of the best I've tried in Montréal. Their tuna sandwich is also absolutely delicious.

The staff are very nice & friendly.

I've been here at night & was super impressed with the plates.

Service is very down to earth yet professional.

Vibe is obviously Savsav's secret sauce. Lots of studying happening weekdays, but starting 5pm they seem to dim their lights to get people off their screens. Which I appreciate.

What keeps me coming back is how good & reasonably priced the coffee is. They have unique Traffic blends that are dialled in.
