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

They make the best espresso is this area, I've tried pretty much all the other places & this one is the best. Also their scones are amazing.

Chill vibes guaranteed in this downtown spot. Pre & post pandemic favourite spot.

Great service: very professional & good energy from barista. Served a delicious & well prepared oat latté.

Perfectly balanced espresso: no surprise as they serve specialty coffee from Traffic Roasters. The espresso blend they serve on bar is Renaissance.
