Overall, reviewers describe Café Léo as a large, bright and welcoming space with plenty of seating and a vibe that ranges from calm and sunny to lively and artsy, making it suitable for working, studying or a casual coffee break. The coffee receives mixed feedback, with some enjoying smooth textures and punchy espresso while others find it flat or overly milky and note prices can be high for a downtown location. Pastries and matcha lattes are frequently praised, with standout items like croissants and almondine mentioned, though a few comments point to occasional inconsistency or gluten free concerns. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, though experiences vary with attentiveness and speed, and some reviews mention wifi or to go packaging issues. The art on the walls and the sunny atmosphere are often highlighted as part of the appeal, contributing to a place that many use for work and social visits alike.
We spent a truly marvelous time participating in this outing. The food was surprisingly delicious, & everyone present was wonderfully sweet. The personnel were very welcoming to us. Taken altogether, it was a lovely event that provided great benchmarks at a very accessible & fair cost.
14$ for matcha latte & cappuccino. Both were not hot unfortunately. We were hoping to warm ourselves up since outdoor was chilly. Coffee also tasted sour?

Great spot to work & have a coffee. The communal tables are a nice touch to get work done. I came here for coffee & took a few meetings & worked on a Friday here
Bonne petite découverte. L endroit est sympathique & très ensoleillé avec ces grandes baies vitrées. Les employées sont très souriantes & très gentilles. Nous avons aimé le service & l'endroit. Café latte délicieux & gateau vegan aux carottes très bon, largement supérieur a certains gâteaux qu'on trouve ailleurs. Je recommande l'endroit

The homemade cookies & matcha latte were absolutely divine. The earthy, vibrant notes of the tea paired perfectly with the rich, buttery sweetness of the treats.
I chose to risk & come to this cafe because I saw it was recommended by someone on reddit who loves great coffee quality like me:). I order latter with simple syrup & less sugar, coffee tasted amazing & so good despite it was still very sweet for me. I would just ask them to not have syrup next time & add it myself. I highly recommend this place for coffee lovers & a nice place to study or work. Very friendly staff & very nice place.
Un excelente espacio para venir a disfrutar de un agradable momento. Puedes venir a trabajar, leer un libro, platicar con amigos. Las bebidas y sus panes deliciosos.
Super recomendado el sitio, además de que queda cerca de la estación de metro Berri UQAM.

Très bon café! Je suis venue plusieurs fois avec une amie ici pour télétravailler. L'espace est grand, le lieu est agréable avec de grandes tables, des prises, la WI-FI. Les boissons sont excellentes, le service très agréable. & c'est à 2min à pieds du métro Berri-UQAM donc très pratique.
I walled 25 minutes with my dog to get there! They even feature a pic for someone with a dog. Only for them to kick us out saying it's a new decision. Well updating takes one min
Ordered a latte & it just tasted like a big cup of warm milk. The coffee did not have that punchy roasted bean taste you expect from a trendy & expensive cafe. Very disappointing & absolutely not worth it.
