Savsav déploie une esthétique industrielle saisissante définie par de hauts plafonds et une abondance de lumière naturelle qui baigne l'espace. Cet environnement aéré sert de cadre à une sélection axée sur un café de qualité et des matchas spécialisés aux couleurs vives. Des propositions alimentaires créatives complètent l'offre, apportant des notes savoureuses et fraîches en accord avec les boissons. Le design conserve un aspect brut, utilisant des matériaux comme la brique et le métal pour nourrir une ambiance dynamique. Une musique rythmée résonne souvent dans la salle, créant une présence sonore marquée à travers tout le volume. Le plan d'étage polyvalent permet à l'endroit d'accueillir des rassemblements privés ou des célébrations particulières. Chaque coin de la pièce préserve une identité visuelle audacieuse qui distingue ce lieu des établissements plus conventionnels.
Savsav est largement reconnu comme un joyau caché unique à Montréal, apprécié pour son esthétique industrielle, ses hauts plafonds et sa lumière naturelle abondante qui créent une atmosphère idéale pour travailler, socialiser ou organiser des événements privés. De nombreux clients louent la qualité de leurs boissons signatures, en particulier le matcha à la fraise servi dans de généreuses carafes, ainsi qu'une variété de plats de brunch populaires. Bien que l'endroit soit souvent décrit comme une destination élégante et dynamique, les expériences concernant le service et le niveau sonore peuvent être inconstantes. Les visiteurs remarquent souvent que l'entrée est difficile à trouver en raison d'un manque de signalisation extérieure, et certains rapportent des avis partagés sur l'amabilité du personnel et le confort de l'aménagement des sièges. Malgré des frustrations occasionnelles liées à l'affluence ou à la qualité variable du service, beaucoup considèrent l'établissement comme un lieu remarquable pour son ambiance, ses options de menu créatives et son caractère distinct.
I was worried about the mixed reviews (many people were saying the matcha wasn't good?) but personally as a picky matcha drinker I found this PERFECT. Not only is it a hidden gem near Lionel Groulx station, but it's so cozy inside, they've got a menu for food & seating suitable for studying & chilling.
I got a strawberry matcha & it hit all the right spots. The strawberry jam was clearly homemade, concentrated & jammy, not a hint of artificial flavours that I hate, it doesn't overpower the matcha, which tastes bright & earthy. Its refreshing, not too sweet, & addictive.
Genuinely my favourite strawberry matcha spot in Montreal, & I've tried many. Will definitely come back.
Drinks are really good, the place is a bit hard to find & I couldn't find the door loll. Parking wasn't the best either.
They do have a no laptop policy except on some tables on Sunday, which I didn't know, & went there to work, all laptop tables were taken. So a bit annoying. But we ended up getting a table at some point after all.
The place is cute. It's like a 50-50 of good & bad things I guess !
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!
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.
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!
Would be hard to see as there is no sign with name. Really nice interior high ceilings. Expensive for coffee & doughnut takeaway (13$) & I found the coffee very acidic so didn't drink most of it. There are no prices on the baked goods, & full coffee menu wasn't priced on the menu. Could be improvised.
Sav Sav was one of my favorite matcha spots in the city - until this past weekend.
I've always appreciated their creativity with drinks, but this weekend the vibe was completely ruined by one employee (moustache man… it's clearly not just me…see other reviews 👀).
He made two matchas - one with coconut milk for me (lactose-sensitive girlie over here), & one with regular milk for my friend, who hates coconut milk. Then he plopped them down, said he didn't know which was which, & walked away. Not exactly the kind of attitude you want when you're paying $10+ for a drink…
I messaged the owner, who acknowledged my message… but no apology, no offer to make it right, not even a'sorry you had a bad experience.' Just bad taste all around.
Sadly, won't be going back - there are too many other good spots in this city that get both matcha & customer service right.
