Review Summary

Café Humble Lion is widely recognized for its consistently high quality coffee, particularly its smooth lattes and cappuccinos, paired with exceptional, flaky pastries like croissants and scones. The atmosphere is generally described as calm and inviting, making it a suitable environment for studying or taking a break in the city center. While most experiences highlight friendly and efficient service, occasional inconsistencies in staff demeanor and drink preparation have been noted. The shop provides a cozy space with convenient seating, although visitors should be aware that the facilities are located down a flight of stairs.

Effectivement je rejoins les avis, service désagréable
Je ne reviendrais pas dans cet endroit
Là pause café est un moment de plaisir & là clairement l'expérience est gâchée à cause d'un service froid & pas accueillant
De plus ils n'ont pas fait ma commande comme il faut. J'avais demandé un double espresso allongé ils avaient oublié de l'allonger puis c'était à moi de dire stop pour le niveau d'eau chaude qui versait….
Pour moi, un vrai café doit être remis avec les bons dosages, prêt à boire

What we noticed in Montréal is that you'd expect loads of cafés, but many of them lean more toward food than coffee. Yes, there are the big commercial chains, but this place is a small shop that's easy to miss.

Inside it's calm, with a very pleasant chap who spoke both French & English. He was polite & welcoming. The latte was really smooth - actually one of the nicest we've had.

You need to ask for the key to the toilet downstairs. It's one flight of steps, so worth noting if mobility is an issue. The toilets were spotless.
