Review Summary

Café Léo is widely regarded as an aesthetically pleasing and bright downtown spot, frequently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, unique art exhibitions, and suitability as a workspace for students and professionals. Visitors often enjoy the quality of their specialty coffees, particularly the matcha and various lattes, along with a selection of tasty pastries like almond croissants and vegan cakes. While many reviews highlight friendly and efficient service, experiences can be inconsistent, with some patrons noting occasional delays, lukewarm drinks, or variability in friendliness. Though the shop is appreciated for its central location and welcoming decor, some guests find the pricing high and have reported issues with crowded seating or unreliable Wi-Fi for remote work.

Les horaires de fêtes n'ont pas été mentionnés sur Google & en arrivant là bas vers 8:45 alors qu'il fait super froid dehors les serveuses à l'intérieur ont fait semblant de pas me voir & je suis restée dehors à attendre
J'ai finalement changé de café

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

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.

Service un peu nonchalant alors qu'on me demande entre 15 & 20% de pourboire sur mes consommations (prix après taxes) - sans service à table. Le biscuit à 4$ n'est clairement pas du jour & sec. Cela fait quelques fois que je viens à différentes heures de la journée - & je pense que c'est définitivement pas un coup de coeur - dommage, car c'est un beau coin proche de l'UQAM.

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.

Wow, the coffee here is delicious! It was so good to have this spot right next to our hotel. The staff were super friendly & took the time to explain the different types of espresso they offer. I got the overnight oats, which were good. The only downside is that their to-go packaging, especially for iced drinks, could be better. Overall, it's a really cool spot to grab coffee & get some work done.
