Review Summary

Reviews describe Café Humble Lion as a cozy spot with a wide range of drinks, including excellent coffee and tea options, plus muffins and cookies, and its location in front of McGill makes it an easy stop for a quick espresso or a longer work session. Staff are repeatedly praised for friendly, efficient service and a good vibe, though seating can be hard to find during peak hours and the space can feel crowded or noisy. Some experiences highlight standout drinks like matcha and chai, while others note inconsistencies such as milk-forward matcha or flavor variations across sizes. A sense that the third wave coffee identity has faded for some and that the atmosphere is less warm than in the past, yet many still view it as a reliable downtown stop for coffee and catching up with friends. Overall, Café Humble Lion attracts visitors for its coffee quality and atmosphere, but it may not be ideal for focused work given the wifi and seating challenges noted by some.

C'est super mignon! Malheureusement, le latte glacé avec le lait d'amande était mauvais. Je me suis forcé à le boire mais je l'ai jeté 5 minutes après :(

Tried the maple syrup latte & it was delicious. Would definitely order it again!

Very friendly, warm & cozy. The lattes & drinks are delish. The coffee is a "fancy" floral & fruity (?) blend that isn't my favourite. A matcha with soy milk was over $7, which is just too much. Other than price, 5 stars.

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!

Iced matcha latte tasted like pure milk for $7.
