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?

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.

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.

I had a nice experience at Café Léo in downtown Montreal. The place is quite big & the vibe is really pleasant. There are many tables, which makes it great whether you just want to enjoy a coffee or sit down to work. They also have larger tables if you want to work with friends or in a group.
I ordered a latte with coconut milk & it was good. I also tried the cheese croissant, which was tasty & nicely crispy on the outside, with good cheese inside. It was a little pricey for a croissant, but that's understandable for a downtown location.
The staff were friendly, & I also noticed they sell a few items like tote bags & T-shirts. Overall, I recommend this place.
