Pourquoi le prix du cafe latte est si cher?
6,75$ me semble un prix démesuré, mais peut-être me manque-t-il de contexte.

Ce café a l'air chouette... Mais les gens viennent pour travailler & y restent si longtemps, que c'est difficile de pouvoir profiter des lieux, le temps d'un café... Dommage...

Ce n'était pas particulièrement bon. L'une d'entre nous avait pris une limonade; nous étions trois à y goûter, & ça s'apparentait davantage à un Perrier au citron qu'à une vraie limonade. Quand nous avons demandé s'il y avait quelque chose à faire, on nous a simplement répondu : « L'avez-vous brassée? ». Elles ont ensuite ajouté, de façon assez nonchalante, un sirop de pêche, mais ça n'a rien changé. Nous avons finalement laissé le verre au comptoir, sans qu'on nous propose de le refaire ni de nous rembourser.

Nos trois breuvages étaient d'ailleurs moyens. Ils n'étaient pas brassés & avaient été servis dans des verres prévus pour des boissons chaudes, ce qui les rendait très difficiles à mélanger.

Had the Vanilla Latté here several times & each time is better than the last. This is by far the best coffee in the city as far as I've tried! I'll be making it a regular stop.

Stumbled upon this cafe as I was heading to my destination. Thought nothing of it & had no expectations but when entering, I immediately enjoyed the chill & vibrant atmosphere. I ordered an iced mocha made with 10%, my usual go-to during the summer. The drink was done in about 4 minutes, I kid you not, it was THAT good. It wasn't too sweet, not overly chocolatey, & the espresso beans perfectly complimented the drink; literally everything was at the right ratio. I had to go back to let the barista know & also purchased a bag of the beans they had used. If ever I go back to Montréal, I will definitely be coming back to café léo.

edit: finally got my film rolls developed!

1-year post-review visit: went back Aug 6 for the same iced drink I bought in my original review, I was genuinely excited (I even purchased a different bag of beans to bring back home) until: a) I realized the barista taking orders punched in an Americano instead & b) the barista making drinks said they don't make mocha's with cream even after being told & acknowledging what my drink will be. Talk about embarrassing-the experience was a complete 180 as previously above. Even if the food looks great & the dining area is amazing, a café is only as good as the service provided & consistent drinks being made.
