I've enjoyed all the drinks I've tried at Leaves - matcha, chai, london fog & lavender lemonade. They use high quality syrups & amazing macadamia milk, totally worth the extra 50 cents! I'm not a big fan of the scones, but the cookies & savoury options are quite good! They get food from Ohana Sushi freshly made there, I can 100% recommend the spring rolls :)
It's a great study spot because of how bright, quiet & spacious it is, plus there's always outlets available.
In my experience, the staff there are very friendly too! Overall, great place to go alone or with friends.

Such a wonderful experience! We stopped by to buy two bags of matcha for friends, & the barista kindly offered to make us two complimentary matcha drinks. We had them iced with macadamia milk & they were absolutely delicious - smooth, perfectly balanced, & refreshing. The matcha itself was excellent quality (even my husband, who usually isn't a big matcha fan, really enjoyed it!). Friendly service, thoughtful touches, & amazing drinks - can't recommend this spot enough! 🍵

Very lovely cafe to work/study. The WiFi connection is fine. The staff is very kind. I wish they had non-vegan milk options, too. They have greay pistachio milk latte & oat milk latte. I also tried chocolate chip banana bread & Melange De Brais (probably misspelled :D). All were really good...

10/10 matchs. Legit the best I've had. I can't believe I wasn't having regular milk? It tastes so good you can't even tell (it's even better). Great location, tons of nice stuff to buy (you can buy their matcha powder & syrups) & surprisingly great service. My new favourite Montreal cafe.

Provides all the fancy milks but not the regular cow milk. &, this was a turn off for me. But, if you enjoy the alternate milk options, you might like this cafe.

A nice & comfy place in the center to get your things done! Not that cozy but I'd still recommend it!! I appreciate their plant based milks.

This is a very charming & spacious cafe with space to study. Great service as well. The only con is that the iced drinks (notably the iced lattes) are always extremely watered down even if asked for less ice. I'm not sure if it's the way its prepared or if they put ice in the cup immediately before the espresso or milk but as soon as I get my iced drink, it doesn't even taste like coffee. If this is due to the organic espresso taste they use, then I guess that would make sense. It's just for a $8 latte, you would expect perfection (especially since 90% of their demographic are students).

Leaves House is a small cafe near McGill that offers an entirely plant-based menu, down to the sweet & savory pastry options that they provide! You have your usual suspects which include tea lattes & there are a variety of non-dairy milks to choose from, including macadamia & pistachio which makes it extra creamy. I opted for a Lavender Oat Milk Latte & two of their scones, which were the perfect snack. Everything was at a reasonable price as well. As of May 2024, they weren't serving boba which was a shame since I came here wanting some, but I appreciate the other plant-based options offered anyway.

It's a cute cafe with plants & a second floor seating area. I had the mushroom poke bowl which was very filling & an oat milk cappuccino, one of the best cappuccinos I've had.

you can't really go wrong when they use a modbar espresso machine (unless the barista is horribly bad, which is ofc not the case here). however, I am not into this plant based idea... if only they could use actual milk to make an actual cortado with such a great espresso machine... alas, such is life, you can't have everything near McGill: either a mediocre drink somewhere else, or an espresso here at leaves house (just a simple but great espresso, forget about the milk part...). pick your poison! of course, this would be a dream place for those to would have preferred oat based drinks at the first place (tbh they are not bad at all, but something about whole milk with a nice espresso is simply irreplaceable). ps: I know, I am not the most eco-friendly person in this world.

Super cute cafe & very student friendly! They have a lot of unique drinks, & the staff were all very nice (& bilingual). Lots of options for alternative milks & interesting flavoured syrups. I heavily suggest the Hojicha Latte! (Didn't get to try any food, oops) A lot of students come here to work, so if you intend to grab a seat- get here early!

Lovely vegan cafe with a large study space & plants that extends across the entire upper floor of the cafe. However, the wifi has given me a problem a few times so be warned. The scones are to die for & they have some bite-sized cookies that are gluten free. I recommend the classic matcha latte with macedamin nut milk (unsweetened).

With the quality of coffees, wide selection of milks, & delicious pastries, Leaves is a must try. My personal recommendation is a dirty chai with spicy chai concentrate & with macadamia milk!

Cute vegan cafe! I like the location, the space is very bright & open. I got the Hojicha latte & lavender latte, both with oat milk. I’d come back to try other stuff.

Good place to buy oat milk & other milk supplies & prices are reasonable. Coffee was decent but lacking a bit. Was understaffed & only one person working so can get busy.
