White Heron Coffee Griffintown ressort comme une adresse lumineuse et calme où le café, notamment le matcha et les lattés, est apprécié pour sa fraicheur et son esprit japonais; les gâteaux et pâtisseries, souvent légers et peu sucrés, valent le détour avec des créations comme le strawberry shortcake et des madeleines moelleuses qui accompagnent parfaitement une boisson chaude ou froide. L ambiance est décrite comme épurée, confortable et propice au travail, à la lecture ou à une conversation tranquille, avec un personnel sympathique et un service apprécié pour sa présentation et sa propreté. Certaines critiques évoquent une affluence le week-end, un rapport qualité prix parfois contesté et quelques fois un manque d atmosphere ou de chaleur, mais dans l ensemble l endroit est perçu comme fiable, offrant une expérience cohérente et instagrammable et incitant à revenir pour tester d autres saveurs et desserts.
Very cool café with a clean, minimal design that creates a calm & modern vibe. I tried the mango melona matcha latte, & the flavor combination was completely new to me, surprisingly refreshing & well-balanced. Definitely a unique experience that stands out from typical café menus. Highly recommended.
The coffee here is absolutely delicious!! They use a really nice blend & the iced latte & iced matcha are 10/10! Lots of space to sit . Nice & quiet in the morning, busy in the afternoon but service is quick & the staff are friendly .
Finally got the opportunity to try White Heron Coffee after they moved! First the all the vibe was amazing! Very aesthetic, quite enough to do some work or have a small chat! Now the food, the ube donut was delicious (not too sweet)! I had a sakura matcha, I did not like the sakura (tasted like medicine) but I tried the matcha first before mixing & it was good. I'm not big on matcha but I felt like venturing today. Definitely coming back for some coffee & cake!
Update:
Came back for some coffee & cake, it was delicious! The strawberry shortcake is very light & tasty. My iced latte was nice & refreshing. This place might become my go to coffee shop!
Great atmosphere & presentation! They also have unique menu items, like a passion fruit matcha latte, which I really enjoyed, & a pandan madeleine. I think the pandan flavour could have been a little stronger & the texture was a bit flaky, but it wasn't too sweet.
Best latte in Montreal.
They use Ethiopian beans (which I prefer) on regular & have another bean type on rotation. Very balanced taste, doesn't leave you dehydrated or heartburned. The cakes & pastries are made on the spot & are always fresh. Note that they are Japanese style, so low sugar; don't expect an American diabetes experience.
The service is very friendly & they always insist on bringing the food to the table. They have loyalty cards which is a pleasant addition for those who come here often. Coffee beans available for sale.
The café itself is light, spacious, airy & clean. A pleasant experience to sit in overall.

Leur matcha latte n'est pas le meilleur dans la ville, mais, mais! La gâteau! Merveilleux & délicieux & excellent! & aussi les pours overs sont bons aussi! Je l'ai visité plusieurs fois, les baristas sont aimables & l'ambiance est magnifique.
White Heron Coffee - douceur, nuages & surprises sucrées ☁?🍵
J'ai goûté deux pointes de gâteaux : Earl Grey & Raisins verts & Châtaigne & Cassis. Visuellement, c'est déjà à couper le souffle- & en bouche, c'est encore mieux. Les shortcakes sont fluffy comme des nuages, aux saveurs à la fois délicates & étonnantes. Pas trop sucrés, juste ce qu'il faut. Je suis vite saturée par les desserts trop sucrés, alors que j'aurais volontiers mangé une troisième pointe de ceux-ci… 🍰💫
Côté boissons, j'ai savouré un matcha sakura & goûté un hojicha à la lavande. Les arômes sont bien présents sans être envahissants. Chaque gorgée est chaude & réconfortante. & le latte art? Magnifique - net, précis, apaisant à regarder.
Le décor est minimaliste, l'ambiance douce & calme : parfait pour étudier, lire ou discuter
.
Le service, attentionné & chaleureux.
Bref, tout était instagrammable… & surtout, au-delà de mes attentes.
White Heron Coffee - softness, clouds & sweet surprises ☁?🍵
I tried two slices of cake: Earl Grey & Green Grapes & Chestnut & Blackcurrant. Visually stunning - & the taste? Even better. The shortcakes are fluffy like clouds, with delicate yet surprising flavors. Not overly sweet, which I deeply appreciate. I usually get overwhelmed by sugar, but with these… I could've gone for a third slice. 🍰💫
As for drinks, I had the sakura matcha & tasted the lavender hojicha. The flavors are well-balanced - present without being overpowering. Every sip felt warm & comforting. & the latte art? Beautifully done - clean, precise, & a little visual hug.
The minimalist decor & soft ambiance make it the perfect spot to study, read, or quietly chat.
The service was friendly & kind.
All in all, everything was instagrammable… & honestly, beyond my expectations.
Cozy cafe store with delicious cakes. Their matcha & hojicha latte are great. Their chiffon cakes are made to perfection. The texture is spongey & the cream is very light. You can also pre-order a whole cake for special events.

Nice coffee shop with creative menu, also many choices matcha mixing with something. The brownie was delicious. The bakery looks delicious. The staff is very friendly. I ordered matcha latte, it was good.
The desserts were so tasty! Lavender & chestnut hojicha donuts were great-the glaze on the lavender is on the sweet side but contains so much flavor. The cake is also light & spongy. Strongly recommend the hojicha latte as well.
Got a iced hojicha latte with almond milk & it was done to perfection! It was delicious. Should have gotten another one! Also got 3 donuts & 3 madelaines. They were all so very tasty, light & overall just so satisfying. We'll be coming back for more!
Atmosphere is bright, positive, & clean, staff are friendly, Cafe latte was very good but I should say that sesame cake was not fresh. Good environment for work with yiur laptop.
Cute, pristine cafe in Griffintown & we love the decor of this venue 😊 We had the strawberry cheesecake & latte & loved the way it was served ❤️ It's truly a very good place to come chill with friends & enjoy the selection of cakes & cafes 😇 Cannot wait to try other things on the menu !
