Review Summary

Café Humble Lion is celebrated for excellent coffee, friendly staff, efficient service, and tasty treats like cookies, scones, and carrot cake, with seasonal drinks such as chai and a maple syrup latte frequently highlighted as favorites. Experiences range from standout beverages and warm vibes to inconsistencies, particularly with matcha where one order can be rich and well balanced while another tastes milky or off in size. Seating is often cramped and daytime noise can be high, making it less ideal for work, and wifi is commonly reported as poor. A number of reviews describe a shift toward a colder, less welcoming atmosphere and a sense that hospitality has faded, with a couple of baristas seeming more distracted than attentive. Still, many visitors continue to come for the coffee and the overall vibe, considering the drinks among the best in the area and valuing the spot for catching up with friends or a quick visit, even as some feel the price is high and the energy has changed.

Ordered a medium iced matcha & it unfortunately just tasted of milk, & it was almost white in colour. Also ordered a scone, which was actually very good! The service was also good, just avoid the matcha.

Always love trying new coffee shops! Found this one just walking near the university. It must be good if it’s near college students who need to stay up late to study😌. I got an iced mocha latte. It was good & a small portion. I would’ve wanted a slightly larger one next time. It was good & I enjoyed it after our hike up Mont Royal. I also bought a bag of coffee beans as it smelled good!
