    Fabulous experience trying September cafe. Food was really fresh and drinks were so good. The breakfast sandwich was super delicious! The pancakes are an absolute MUST. The fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. Beware, this place gets really packed on the weekends so try it during the week if you can!

    Definitely packed if you go on the weekend but really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. I want to go back and try more food next time I visit.

    Fried Chicken sandwich and breakfast sandwich.

    Social media blew this place up and it's completely deserved. That being said yes the wait is as long as it seems online. On the bright side it goes by fairly fast and the staff have it pretty organized so it didn't feel overwhelming. What did feel poorly thought out was the layout inside and the seating. The line runs in the middle there is very limited space it feels clustered and packed in there with little space to move when it's packed. But the is forgotten once you get the food the pancakes are must have. The rest of the food is absolutely delicious and made the wait worth it. Try the place out and order a few plates to share.

    It was packed! The place seems to be very very popular. It was filled with friends going on lunch, having a nice time. The line was not so bad and while the place was very full and there were not many seating options it still had a lot of tables, so in a less packed day you might find plenty of space to sit The matcha in here is great. You can feel and taste the matcha but is not bitter and the milk doesn't overwhelm it. One of my fav spots for matcha so far.

    Worth the drive to Saint-Henri for the food alone. I got the breakfast sandwich and the quinoa chicken salad to share and it was so good. It almost makes no sense why this cafe would have such delicious food but they do and I highly recommend. I ate on their patio and it was in the sun which made for the most pleasant lunch in the sun. Great prices for amazing food with great products displayed for purchase and great aesthetics for instagram pictures. The coffee glass was so pretty!

    A very charming, modest cafe serving wonderful, delicious, abundant food and lovely coffee. Some of the best, most fluffy, yet dense and very filling pancakes we've ever had. Very fast and very friendly service - we were in and out in 35 minutes.

    September Surf is a cafe located on Notre-Dame in the Little Burgundy are of Montreal. The ambiance is somewhat of collective communal experience. People sit in close proximity to each other and it feels very friendly and inviting. A lot of people were doing some work on there laptops and it seemed to be a place of comfort for many which goes well with the name. That surf culture is evident in the space. The menu was not huge yet there is something for everyone. If you would love to indulge, you can get the pancakes. They were the best ones I've ever had and I've been back multiple times just to have that fluffy goodness. There are great breakfast sandwiches as well. I also had the chia bowl which was French and energizing. The lattes are perfect and I am a big latte lover so I don't take that lightly. Overall, an amazing place to return to. They also have amazing magazines for purchase and great merch to add on as well.

    This place really leans into the hip millennial dream of owning a cool little coffee shop, and it works. Everything was delicious - the Avocado toast, the pancakes, and the breakfast deluxe are huge stand outs. It's no wonder why the place was so busy!

    Loved this surf themed cafe, awesome vibes. Felt right at home. The avo toast was on point and the flat white incredible. If I lived in MTL, I'd be here all the time! I wanna come back and try the classic pancakes

    Over all friendly people, amazing coffee and good food. One of the best breakfasts truly, pancakes seem to be topped with salt and it surprisingly works. I also got the matcha cookie, it was good just some bites were a tad too sweet. I would get the bone broth every single morning if I could. Only down side is how crazy busy it is! I had to hover over people for a seat

    Cool, hip café in Little Burgundy. It's directly across the street from L'Gros Luxe and a few doors down from the Joe Beef empire. Came here on a Tuesday afternoon. Busy but lots of space to snag a seat. Don't miss out on the backyard; complete with a hammock to chill in. Love it! Even the outside seating (in front of the entrance) is cool and comfy. Inside is bright and open. Coffee is from Anchored Coffee (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). They had coffee, summer drinks and a couple light food options. Like how prices already include tax. - 50/50 ($4.00) - half lemonade, half tea. Refreshing and light. One of their four summer drinks available. They even make surf boards! Dope. Great spot to chill.

    Avocado Toast

    Super busy! But definitely some of the best cafe drinks and food I've ever had. If you go, try to get there right at opening or early on Sundays. This is the only time I'd say $15+ for toast is 100% worth it. The creaminess of the avocado toast was unreal and the halloumi was absolutely delicious. Would definitely visit again!

    Blueberry pancakes
    Joe F.

    Stopped here twice in a few days, expected little but was blown away. First time grabbed a BLT on challah that was epic. Tomatoes were so fresh and tasteful I wanted to keep the taste sensations in my mouth and I just savored the food experience. Very chill and laid back experience. Another day I grabbed a morning order of blueberry pancakes which may have been the best BB pancakes of my life. Three hefty pancakes with big, bold fresh blueberries. I'm a big blueberry lover (pretty much every day for breakfast) so I literally was freaking out at how delicious these were. Only downer is it's a small kitchen and if it's crowded, food comes out slowly. I waited 20 minutes and 12 minutes approximately for food but it was worth the wait. Chairs aren't the greatest either but at end of the day if you're looking for great food at reasonable prices, this is a wonderful place.

    First time visiting this place, but it's not new. In fact, it's been in the neighborhood for 5-6…read moreyears! Might be cause the storefront is not the most obvious as the bakery is quite small. The focal point of the bakery is of course, the counter. There is a paper ticket system for service on busier days. When I went in, it was quiet so ticket optional. We were greeted right away by friendly staff. When I asked for recommendations, Marie took me on a visual and descriptive tour highlighting some of their specialty products. I went for the seasonal maple roll dusted with icing sugar, topped with white chocolate chips and a maple crust. Also took a slice of pear almond tart. They were both $4.50 each. The maple roll was densely packed and so much more than a snack. It's really bready so you could have it for breakfast. Slightly sweet and covered in a light glaze. The tart was light tasting and the pastry was full of buttery goodness. Texture is a little bit interesting because it's a cold tart, the juice from the pears soak into the almond paste and make it a little bit cold and slightly mushy. Some people might not like that but I found it ok. Service is friendly and attentive. Pastries are good but a bit expensive.

    This is a very cute bakery and the pastries are fantastic. They are open for longer hours than most…read moreand you can generally see people doing work on their computers. Definitely have a clafoutis, I loved the pistachio. They also have really good coffee and sandwiches. The quiches are pretty good as well. I don't believe you could go wrong with anything you order. They make the bread daily on premises and use all organic ingredients.
