Review Summary

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.

Driest croissant I ever tried

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.

Il n'y a pas de wifi, le croissant est froid & n'est pas bon. Je suis très déçue. Je ne reviendrai jamais à l'aveni

I had the chocolate almond croissant & it was delicious beyond compare. Nothing like I ever had. The spinach scone & iced matcha latte were also exquisite. Must visit place !!! Reasonably priced for 2 pastries & 2 drinks about $30

A wonderful cup of coffee & even better croissants/croissant breakfast sandwich! Very accommodating as well. We had a child with a stroller & had no issue coming in & finding a space to enjoy.

I recently visited this cafe & had a flat white & a croissant. Both the coffee & the croissant were good. The cafe has a nice atmosphere & is quite cute. However, the staff could be more warm & friendly, which would improve the overall experience..

Croissant au fromage, biscuit au chocolat blanc & matcha latté très bons. Par contre, il ne restait pas grand choix de viennoiseries à mon arrivée à quatre heures de la fermeture.
