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.
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.
Honnêtement je ne recommande pas. Personnel peu aimable, beaucoup trop de glaçons dans les boissons & c'est très cher pour ce que c'est! Je mets deux étoiles pour l'endroit

We had an amazing strawberry matcha latte! Nice place full of light, fun to study in groups there. But super crowded, wifi cap at 3 hours & a few tables are laptop free!
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.
The place itself is beautiful but the drinks are a bit too expensive & they're VERY generous on the ice (10$ for a strawberry matcha that was 3/4 ice & 1/4 matcha) But besides the price it's a nice place to hang out with friends.
The food (chicken salad on toast) & my drink (iced chai) were both great. Just a few'downsides': 1) the music is really loud. Personally, I focus well even with music so I'm fine but just to note, it's not the place for great conversation or taking meetings. 2) it's kinda hard to find! Maybe that's supposed to be part of the charm/exclusivity but just warning you, you might get lost finding it.

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.
My first time trying matcha! I got the strawberry matcha drink & discovered that I don't really like the taste of matcha lol, but it was ok because the barista was super nice & added a bit more strawberry syrup to my drink, which helped mask the taste of the matcha, so after that adjustment the drink was pretty good!

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.
Looks a lot bigger in person than it does in the photos. Airy atmosphere with high ceilings & tons of natural light. Setup with the cash & the baked goods is kind of odd but you have to respect the commitment to the aesthetic. Was served my for-here iced latte in a little pitcher, which was actually a really enjoyable touch. Meal prices are on the steep end but the food looks super good & I will be back to try. The design of the menus & other branded things is irresistible.
