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.
This is my go to cafe in the area, always clean & calm. Great place to work or grab a coffee to go.
The desserts are different from any other cafe out there they go really well with a coffee.
Matcha Sakura was absolutely amazing!
White Heron Coffee
Just stopped in for a brewed coffee, & like most places in Montreal, I don't know if it's a Quebec thing, but cream seems to be a bit of a premium-hard to come by! Anyway, the coffee was really nicely done. Well presented, served with a glass of water, & made with care.
I'm in Griffintown, & I guess that explains the touch of high-end polish they bring to even a simple coffee stop. I was just heading to the gym & wanted something quick, but ended up with a genuinely good experience.
This place is a weird one. If I had to sum it up in two words I'd say'wasted potential'.
They sell decent beans/brewing gear & the aesthetic is really nice, but it ends up feeling like a facade that falls over pretty quickly. There is absolutely zero atmosphere & neither of the two coffees we were served were dialed in for their tasting notes.
This place honestly feels like a second wave coffee shop masquerading as a third.
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!
