Plentea is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with an expansive tea selection from classic to inventive blends, a standout chai karak, and a strong lineup of house made cookies and pastries; reviews highlight fresh, well made drinks like rooibos latte, friendly staff, and a warm vibe that invites lingering, with late hours noted as a plus, while a few comments mention limited seating, occasional noise, and some inconsistency in drinks and space cleanliness.
I ordered a karak chai with saffron, & it was extremely disappointing. There was no noticeable saffron flavor at all, despite paying extra for it. The drink tasted mostly like water & lacked the rich, creamy consistency that a proper karak chai should have. To make matters worse, the ice had already melted by the time it was served, making it even more watered down.
What made this even more disappointing is that I've had this drink in the past & enjoyed it, which makes the difference even more noticeable. The consistency & quality seem to have dramatically diminished over time.
For almost $8, this was honestly the worst karak chai I've ever had. I expected much better quality for the price. I'm not sure if this was due to the staff member who prepared it today, but the experience was far below expectations. I won't be returning, & I definitely cannot recommend the karak chai with saffron.
Very nice place & friendly worker really enjoyed drinking tea in a small quiet & very clean place really enjoyed karak tea & cinnamon cake specially after long walking in downtown & bit cold & rainy day
Plentea is a really nice little spot downtown. The chai & teas are super tasty, & the cookies are fresh & perfect with a drink. Chill vibe & friendly staff-definitely a good place to stop by 👍
We're visiting from Toronto, & this place is very nice & small. The vibes are very chill, & the drinks are yummy & creative. They will make the drink exactly how you want it!
So many great vegan options! My favourite was the saffron cake & the raspberry crumble. Also the employée was very nice idk how to spell his name but it started with a T & he had a pokemon tattoo. The only sin he has committed probably in his life was recommending the chocolate cake & calling it a brownie. That was a dry chocolate cake.
Plein d'options véganes superbes ! Mes préférées étaient le gâteau au safran & le crumble aux framboises. L'employé était vraiment sympa j'ignore comment épeler son nom mais ça commence avec un T & il avait un tatouage d'un Pokémon.

This is one of those places where even just as soon as I stepped in I knew that I would be back many times more. Plentea is a literal dream for anyone who likes tea, as there is an expansive selection of tea blends, both classic & more unique options. Additionally, the variety of vegan cookies & other baked goods is definitely something not to be skipped.
