We tried the iced matcha latte, iced vanilla latte, iced chai latte, & the iced hibiscus; they were not worth the money. The coffee beans were bitter & sour. The matcha was overpriced. We've tried matcha/coffee from Toronto, LA, New York, & many major hubs in North America. They were all much better & reasonably priced. (For all those commenting this was the best coffee/matcha… please review your tastebuds). The matcha was $13!!! That's an insane price for matcha & the cup wasn't even full. Don't get me started on the 25 cent charge (per drink) if you're getting takeout… newsflash, this isn't BC. The iced chai latte was unbelievably sweet even after adjusting the sugar. At least the girls working there were so sweet (just like that chai latte). We didn't try any pastries so can't really comment on those but the drinks were NOT worth it, don't waste your money! All for supporting small businesses however this was extremely disappointing considering the amount of the good reviews :(

Might be the best matcha in the city! Super cool space, incredibly high quality matcha, & they host cool events.

Some of the speciality drinks are a bit expensive however the drinks are also incredibly high quality so it feels worth it. The staff are always so kind as well!

I visited the FOIL Gallery during my trip to Montreal & really enjoyed the experience. The space is small but thoughtfully curated, which makes it easy to take your time & appreciate each piece without feeling overwhelmed.

The gallery has a modern & creative vibe, with works that feel fresh & interesting. I liked how everything was presented-it all felt intentional & well put together.

They also offer drinks, which was a nice touch. It made the visit feel more relaxed & social, & added to the overall atmosphere while walking through the space.

It's not a huge gallery, but that's part of the charm. It's a nice, quiet stop if you're exploring the city & want to see something a bit different.

Hands down the best matcha & cafe I've ever been to. The matcha is incredibly green & smooth - I'm completely addicted to the black sesame iced matcha drink😄. The owners are both artists - both of their beautiful artwork is hanging on the gallery walls, which makes the space feel really special. They also curate the gallery & invite other artists to exhibit on rotation, so there's always something new to see. It's an exciting place to visit, hang out, & enjoy a truly delicious drink.

I really like the concept & atmosphere of this café - it's unique & visually interesting. However, the menu could definitely be stronger. The seasonal drinks are usually quite limited, even though the quality of the beverages is excellent. When it comes to pastries, it's unfortunately disappointing, especially for a café that focuses solely on drinks. A bit more variety in pastries would make a big difference.

The weakest point, though, is usually the staff. They're not particularly friendly or customer-oriented, & there's always this slightly heavy, unwelcoming vibe - even though the team has changed several times, the attitude somehow remains the same, which almost feels intentional. The interior can look beautiful at times, especially with the vintage Porsches on display, but other times it feels a bit too empty.

Beautiful art gallery & cafe! They have a beautiful/unique interior with tables to get work done, beautiful outdoor patio to relax, & just outside they have a beautiful community benches & shared spaces. Their coffee drinks are unique & delicious, I would recommend trying their peach latte. Added bonus the cafe smells like a luxury fragrance shop, the barista is super friendly. Slight little down side is that it's a dairy free cafe, but they do have a ton of alternative milks to choose from & I honestly couldn't tell the difference.

Foil - Montreal
Stopped by Foil & had their Peaches & Cream Iced Latte - absolutely incredible. Perfectly balanced sweetness, creamy texture, & just the right hint of peach that made it refreshing without overpowering the coffee.

The vibe of the space is equally impressive: minimal, bright, & stylish - complete with art on the walls & even a classic green Porsche on display, which made the experience feel unique & memorable. The pastries were fresh & paired perfectly with the drink.

Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend for both coffee lovers & anyone looking for a café with character.
