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.

$4.30 for a regular, medium black coffee. Not very humble

Delicious latte & moderately sweet desserts but unfortunately the barista was not friendly. I will not go back there because of bad service. Btw the location of the coffee shop is good & the prices are reasonable. P.S.: I have no idea who the comment below is talking about. I've also been accused of something lol. Wow. Good luck, guys & have a good day!

This cute cafe in the heart of downtown Montreal has comfortable seating & a lovely window view to take your time to enjoy your coffee & snacks. The staff were super nice & efficient. There is a coffee menu with varied options. The cortado was excellent & velvety. I'm super curious about the maple latte so I'll be back for sure. Although I did some patrons working at the tables, the space is small & there were no visible outlets so it's really a place designed for sitting for 1 or 2 & enjoying the experience.
