September Surf Café blends the laid-back spirit of surfing with the buzz of a thriving Montreal café. Since opening in 2016 on Notre-Dame Street West, this sunny spot has become a hub for coffee lovers, surfers, and anyone seeking a dose of calm and adventure. Co-owner Mitch Martin, inspired by the vibrant Little Burgundy neighbourhood, envisioned a gathering space where the city’s unexpectedly large surfing community could connect over stellar coffee.

Coffee fuels the majority of the café’s offerings, served in a bright, minimalist space with both front and back patios perfect for soaking up the vibe. On the menu, the chef crafts simple yet satisfying dishes like avocado toast, fresh salmon bowls, and one of the city’s best breakfast sandwiches made with homemade smoked ham.
