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.
Was in town for Osheaga, & found this coffee shop conveniently located around the corner from our hotel. I love checking out new, cool cafes, & in that sense this spot hit the mark. However, the staff were not very welcoming. Perhaps it's different in Ontario, but usually one is greeted when entering, smiles all around, & just a warmth within the service. Barely a hello when approaching the counter, no smile at all, definitely no thank you. I still tip because I've been a Barista for over ten years, & understand the difference tips make to income. It's so EASY to be warm & welcoming...I couldn't help but think it was because I'm English speaking. I will say, the coffee is fantastic & unique, but consider adding a level up in the friendliness dept...greeting a customer when walking in the door goes a long way.
Un excellent café troisième vague avec une magnifique sélection de café funky! Je recommande fortement!
Accueil vraiment chaleureux. Leur flat white & leur matcha sont excellents, foncez!
J'ai adoré c'est endroit & la décoration. Les personnes qui travaillent là-bas sont très agréables ☺?
The almondine avec chocolate & noisettes was not as good as it sounds, but it still was nice. Nice service, great ambience.
Ce café est magnifique, une décoration minimaliste & épuré,éloigné de la foule & du brouhaha de Berri. Seul bémol , le service déplorable! 4 employés pour faire le service, c'est certainement trop car on doit attendre que ces mesdames aient fini leur conversation pour pouvoir être servi & quand on est enfin servi, ce n'est pas la bonne commande 🫣
The other day I had the most amazing decaf latte, milk had perfect texture & coffee taste was perfect. I got the decaf because it was 4pm. So I figured their regular latte would be even better. So today I ordered their regular latte & was sadly disappointed. Milk texture was off, maybe because it's was overheated & taste was kind of bland. Maybe there was too much milk. All I wanted was to experience the magic of that decaf latte I had. But I understand that there's just too many variables that go into a cup of coffee & it's hard to be consistent. Anyways, I might give it another chance next time but will have to temper my expectations.
Awesome quality espresso. Rotating selection for something new all the time.
The cafe has such a nice ambiance. The caramel latte was delicious!
