Visited today & come to this location often with coworkers. Always efficient & delicious tasting drinks. All the baristas here are nice , but the one who served us today was in particular very friendly & nice. Just adds a good vibe to the service . This place still knows what customer service is suppose to be like. I love coming here & kudos to the wonder staff & baristas here. To the barista today around 315pm, thank you for the great service !

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.

Terrible terrible wifi connection. It's been consistently terrible for the past 8 years since I arrived. I come back for the cup of coffee & the vibe, but don't plan to work here!

Top coffee - even espresso allongé which is not easy to find (Americano is usually not the same) & delicious fresh scones & muffins & more. Cozy atmosphere good internet, friendly staff & the best sort of university vibe.
