Plentea comes across as a cozy hidden gem in downtown Montreal, offering a wide range of teas made fresh and a selection of in house pastries. The chai karak and rooibos latte are frequent favorites, noted for rich, balanced flavors, and the tea blends are often described as imaginative and well crafted. The space is praised for its warm vibes, friendly staff, and the chance to watch drinks being prepared, with baristas who provide recommendations and memorable conversations. The cafe is recognized for late hours and a convenient location on Saint Catherine Street, though some reviews mention that seating is limited and the space can be a bit loud. A few comments point to occasional inconsistencies in drink preparation, especially between different staff or the owner, but the overall quality remains high. Cookies and baked goods, including matcha chocolate chip and saffron themed treats, are a popular pairing with the drinks. The experience is frequently described as relaxing and comforting, with many reviewers calling it a top spot and promising return visits.
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)!
