Review Summary

Reviews describe Café Léo as a cozy, relaxed, and welcoming space with a warm vibe that invites long visits for work or study. The coffee and drinks receive frequent praise, from rich espresso builds to matcha and chai lattes, and the pastries and croissants, including options for gluten free, are often highlighted as standout treats, though some reviewers warn about cross contamination or limited gluten free choices. The atmosphere is described as bright, stylish, and conducive to concentration, with artful decor, rotating exhibitions, and plenty of seating that can accommodate individuals or groups. Staff are generally praised for friendliness and helpfulness, even when service varies by moment, and the location near the university is noted as convenient for students and travelers alike. Overall, Café Léo comes across as a popular, aesthetically pleasing place to sip well made drinks, enjoy a pastry, and get work done, while a few comments point to a desire for a larger food menu and more consistent service.

Bonnes options pour sans gluten

Overall, it is a nice place to sit down & do work. I came because I saw they had gluten free options. But once I looked where the pastries where located, the gluten free ones were right next to the non gluten free ones. Why bother even putting them at all if their gonna be contaminated with the non gluten free ones. I ended up trying the brownie since it was far away from the other ones. It was good but was definitely contaminated. I don't recommend celiacs going here at all. Don't put gluten free options if your not gonna be careful with how it's made or where it's place. Nice service & ambience.

Stopped at Café Léo for breakfast. Lovely to have gluten free options. Everything was yummy. In a way it felt like I was having breakfast at home only surrounded by art & lively discussion.

Beau, lumineux, café super bon.
Svp plus d'options véganes & choisissez des laits végétaux canadiens ou québécois! Le lait barista de Oatbox ou Natura est excellent! 💯 :)

A very professional café with high-quality coffee beans & plenty of options. The drinks are always consistent, & you can also buy different types of coffee beans. They even sell some cute merch! There are lots of seats, making it a great place to spend the whole afternoon.

Gluten free options, beautiful place with a lot of natutal light. The music is not too loud which makes it a great place to study. Staff is very nice. They absolutely do the best oatmilk cappucino in town.

Such a cool space. Lots of seating, excellent selection of coffee to drink - & so many packaged options for home brewing too. One of my faves in this part of town.
