Disappointing Value
'I ordered the Karak Chai today ($7) & was disappointed to find the cup significantly under-filled. While the flavor was good, the portion size didn't justify the premium price. I'd appreciate seeing better pouring standards in the future to ensure customers get what they pay for.'
I had a very disappointing experience here. I was feeling sick & ordered a tea. After paying, I politely asked the barista if they could add cardamom. I was told it would be an extra 75 cents & that I couldn't pay by card for that amount because I didn't have cash.
Since I was unwell, I kindly asked if they could make an exception just this once. The barista said that if they added any powder, their boss would fire them. I replied that making a small gesture for customer satisfaction wouldn't realistically cause someone to lose their job.
After this, the barista became rude, she refused to put cinnamon powder on top then turned their back on me & walked away.
The tea itself was not worth the price, & the attitude was very unkind & upsetting. Overall, a very rude & disappointing experience.
Everything was beautiful. The place was great, the staff were very friendly, & the experience was wonderful. I will definitely come back a third time. I highly recommend it.
The man who served us was so kind & genuine! Our tea was delicious & expertly made - we even got to watch him make it. He also shared recommendations for us as tourists & we had a nice conversation. 100/10
Lovely spot. Delicious treats. I recommend the kunafa. The tea blends are great too. The friendliest staff.
From Toronto, visiting Montreal, could not really find a good steeped tea situation aside from artificial chai lattes from cafè. Even Tim Hortons did not offer their signature steep tea.
Found this GEM! Got the karak chai, all natural ingredients & made perfect! Made my stay here meaningful. Also their baked in house cookies were fantastic, matcha chocolate chip & pistachio dark chocolate.
Will Definitely return when back in city God willing!
Amazing little tea shop on Sainte-Catherine. Cozy vibes & delicious teas that warm you up on cold winter nights. Barista was very efficient & had great recommendations. Would come again!
Friendly barista, phenomenal Chai Karak, absolutely delicious cookies! A must try when you are in Downtown!
My visit was wonderful. The products are beautiful & high quality, & the staff were very friendly & helpful.
Highly recommended!
I loved their chai drinks. It's on the sweeter side which is what I enjoy. The best I've had
The best tea I've ever had! I really wish they get to move to a bigger place as there's very little sitting space & I'd love to be able to enjoy my tea there, without most likely having to find elsewhere to drink it (especially in the cold, as in summer they have 2-3 tables outside).
I truly believe that this place brings you peace & comfort. From its taste to its spirit, a pure joy. I personally recommend the Silk Road Cider!
Plentea is such a cozy hidden gem! The owner is super friendly, the drinks are amazing, especially the Matcha & Chai Lattes & the location is perfect. I recently tried one of their cookies, & it was the perfect little treat. Warm vibes, delicious drinks, & great people. It's becoming a routine for me! 🤗 Highly recommend!
J'adore venir au Plentea après mon cours de yoga, c'est devenu mon petit rituel. L'endroit est super cozy, parfait pour se poser & se détendre. Le staff est toujours sympa, pro & accueillant. La musique est toujours bien choisie, & le choix de thés est vraiment large !
