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.
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.
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.
