L'endroit est assez beau dans un style industriel. Cependant, l'attitude des employés laisse GRANDEMENT à désirer, pas du tout sympathique & le café a perdu son avantage pour les etudiants. Je ne reviendrais certainement plus. Rappeler à vos employes qu'un sourire, c'est gratuit.

The only thing more bitter than the barista's attitude was the subpar matcha. A one-time visit was one time too many.

0/5 if I could.

The decor is beautiful. As soon as we walked into the place that is the first thing that we noticed. The people are also friendly. The food was great. Lots of options to choose from so all four of us are very happy about it.

Cool hip café/brunch place. Reminds me of East London or probably Brooklyn

Savsav in Montreal was one of the most frustrating coffee shop experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming, & the service only got worse from there. The staff came across as rude, dismissive, & completely uninterested in being helpful. Instead of making customers feel comfortable, they acted like basic questions or requests were somehow an inconvenience.

What stood out most was how unaccommodating they were. I got the impression that they had no interest in listening, helping, or even trying to understand what I was asking for. A decent café experience is not just about coffee, it is also about basic courtesy & professionalism, & Savsav failed badly on both. It felt like any attempt at communication was met with attitude rather than patience.

The whole experience left a really bad impression. There is a huge difference between a place being busy & a place simply not caring about customers, & this felt like the latter. I do not expect perfection, but I do expect basic respect, & that was completely missing here. With so many better coffee shops in Montreal that actually know how to treat people properly, I honestly cannot see any reason to come back.

Save yourself the aggravation & spend your money somewhere that actually deserves it. This city has dozens of coffee shops that know how to treat people properly. Savsav isn't one of them, & based on my experience, I cannot imagine any scenario in which I would ever return. Life is too short, & Montreal's café scene is too good, to waste time on a place like this.
The one star was for the size of the coffee :)

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.
