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!
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).

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!
discovered this gem 2 summers ago & been obsessed with this place since. The drinks & food are always on point. I made a lot of my friends try this place & they love it.

So happy to have found a tea spot that's actually open late!! It's nearly impossible to find a tea place that serves late (understandably so). What's even more surprising is that the tea is GREAT!! We went late night (~8:30pm) & wanted something caffeine free. The server (super sweet girl) explained the caffeine free options so we ended up getting a cold'rare phoenix' & a hot'rooibos latte'. Both drinks were absolutely amazing!! We can't wait to go back again & try more drinks especially the caffeinated ones!!
I recently discovered this chai place, & I have to say, the chai Karak is absolutely delicious! The flavors are rich, perfectly spiced, & comforting. However, there's a noticeable difference when the owner is the one making it - it just tastes better, somehow. The employees are great, but there's room for improvement in keeping the consistency of the drinks, especially since the owner's version is so spot-on.
On a side note, the bathroom could use some attention. It wasn't as clean as it should be, which is a bit of a letdown considering how much care goes into the drinks. With a little more consistency in the chai & upkeep in the space, this place would be near perfect!
Best chai latte in Montreal. Came here yesterday & the tall dark haired man made the best chai I've ever had. The last time I came it wasn't as flavourful. Great service, stand out drinks.
First time here! Walked in looking for a refreshing drink & a snack. Dana was so welcoming & incredibly helpful in her recommendations. She was friendly & made the place memorable. The tea was rly refreshing & the paratha was delish too! I recommend to anyone looking to discover something yummy & new with great service! PS. love that the bathroom was clean, bonus points for that for sure (especially in that neighborhood)!
