I've been here many times & have always enjoyed the coffee, which is consistently great. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was very disappointing due to my interaction with the barista. This barista in particular is consistently rude.
I placed my order politely, but she repeatedly said'huh?' & asked me to repeat myself several times in a rude manner. It felt unnecessary, especially since my drink was already prepared by the time I finished ordering, which suggests they understood me from the start.
I'm not sure what caused this behavior, but the experience left a bad impression. Sadly, it's made me reconsider returning.
Good cafe, as someone who doesn't like coffee, i love that there are many different tea options. Difficult to find a spot to sit midday, as there are quite a lot of people, & not that many tables, but overall good stuff.
Relaxed, understated ambiance with just the right balance of focus & flow. Great muffins, a wide range of well-crafted coffees, & a location directly in front of McGill University make it an easy go-to-whether for a quick espresso or a longer working session.
ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD COFFEE, well above average carrot cake that is moist & not too sugary, amazing vibe with good music & warm atmosphere, kind staff
This has the best coffee we have found across Canada! We've been on a long trip & all the major stopoffs across the country! Here we have superfast service, great coffee & even skinny milk!
We are very grateful for the three days we have spent in the wonderful coffee we have consumed!
We bought at least 2 cups per day!
Awesome!
Far Cry from Its Heyday
The third-wave coffee is still good-though overpriced-but sadly, the welcoming & vibrant atmosphere that once defined this place is gone. On my last visit, the café was nearly empty, & the vibe felt cold & uninviting.
What stood out most was the supercilious attitude of the two baristas (both seemingly unilingual anglophones). They seemed more interested in chatting with each other than serving customers. The sense of hospitality has clearly faded.
There are plenty of better cafés in the city where making an espresso isn't treated like a lifestyle performance. This is a place I'll gladly avoid in the future.
Goodbye, Humble Lion-you're not so humble anymore.
Loin de sa belle époque
Le café « third wave » est toujours bon (mais cher), cependant l'ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante qui faisait le charme de l'endroit a complètement disparu. Le lieu était presque vide lors de ma dernière visite, & l'atmosphère froide & distante.
Ce qui m'a le plus marqué, c'est l'attitude hautaine des deux baristas (visiblement unilingues anglophones), plus occupées à discuter entre elles qu'à servir les clients. L'accueil, autrefois agréable, n'est plus au rendez-vous.
Il existe de bien meilleurs cafés à Montréal, où faire un espresso n'est pas une déclaration de style de vie. Pour ma part, je n'y remettrai pas les pieds.
Adieu Humble Lion, tu n'as plus rien d'humble.
