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.

EXPÉRIENCE CULTUREL: vraiment une belle expérience, on apprend beaucoup avec M. Léo qui est très intéressent & drôle. J'ai tout aimé, l'expérience de faire nos propre empanadas, moudre des grains de cacao & de les gouter, écraser de la canne a sucre pour aussi y goute & la visite de la plantation. J'AI TOUT AIMÉ. (& mes amis aussi)

Je n'ai pas aimé le fait que les prix ne sont pas affichés. Si je ne me trompe pas, ce n'est pas légal. 5$ pour un américano, c'est dispendieux.

Je n'y retournerai pas.
