White Heron Coffee Griffintown est décrit comme un café lumineux, propre et minimaliste, dont l'ambiance calme et moderne est saluée; la carte séduit par des boissons au matcha authentiques et des mélanges innovants tels que le latte matcha mango melona, et les desserts vont d'un shortcake à la fraise aérien à des pâtisseries délicates mais peu sucrées; les avis mentionnent un personnel chaleureux et des espaces confortables propices au travail ou à la discussion, et l'expérience globale est souvent présentée comme une adresse fiable pour le café et les gâteaux, bien que certains commentateurs évoquent des soucis de service, des tarifs pouvant sembler élevés, et des saveurs parfois inégales ou un manque de places et de prises lors des heures de pointe.
Great spot. Knowledgeable baristas who are kind & informative. Multi roaster cafe including Hatch & Rogue Wave on bar. Would recommend for folks looking for good filter or espresso, or fun sweet drinks. Prioritize this cafe if you're looking for great specialty coffee :)
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.
Visited on Saturday afternoon.
Clean & cozy place.
I love their cakes because it's light & not too sweet.
Found that the seats by the window are not so comfortable especially to eat, however, I still like the vibe of the cafe.
It's a perfect place to chat with friends over tasty drinks & desserts. Wish they open a bit longer than 4pm on weekends

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.
Super cozy very luminous & spacious coffee shop. We went early on a week day to get a good table & it was empty until around 11am. The staff were super kind & explained the whole menu. Matcha had a lovely bright green colour & tasted amazing. Desserts look great & not too sweet. Great for studying or treat yourself to a good matcha. Will definitely revisit.
Miso brownie had an interesting flavour & is worth a try, but keep in mind it melts on your fingers so it could get a bit messy. Black sesame bread was dry, but it goes down well with coffee. It's a filling snack. Ube donut was a bit too sweet. Staff is friendly, the atmosphere was very quiet though on a Tuesday afternoon in September. It felt rude to speak louder than whispers. A lot of customers were working or studying here.

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 the blueberry lavender short cake & really liked it :) it was a little citrusy & the lavender wasn't too overpowering , it wasn't too sweet & with the blueberries it all balanced out beautifully 😛 The chai was just ok but it cut the sweetness which was nice lol
A friend told me about their donuts & they definitely lived up to the hype! The earl grey donut is perfection! The earl grey taste really comes through; it's floral, it's moist & so beautiful! I would say it's more cakey than donut. The coffee didn't disappoint, but I'm going back for the sweet treats!
Good spot for work, calm & peaceful! Moving on to their cakes, we got three flavors, the black sesame, mango passion, & blueberry lavender cake. I'd say the cakes were not too sweet which is fine, but they were lacking in flavor, I couldn't feel any fruit flavor at all! The black sesame was better but not wow, also got ice chai which also tasted just like Cinnamon milk nothing more! 31$ was a bit too high, especially that the quality wasn't there, but would definitely come back for the ambience

Busy & a little on the expensive side. Very good cappuccino with the right creamy texture. Very fresh & not too sweet cake. Cute & clean design. Really enjoyed this little coffee shop. Removing 1 start because the toilet was unfortunately very dirty.
