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.
They have pretty much every type of tea, & the server makes it freshly in front of you! Location is excellent with views of the street. Got the chamomile-lemon-lavender mix which was perfect for relaxing.
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!!
We tried the Saffron Karak & Karak Chai & we liked it a lot. The owner/staff are really nice & are more than happy to tell you their story. Overall a very nice place where we would like to go again & try more of their teas. Big plus: they make the tea blends from scratch & you can also customize your own tea which we found really cool!!
While visiting Montreal this past month, I happened to find this tea shop. This is exactly the type of place we were looking for after being out in the cold all day. It has a very relaxed vibe & has the perfect environment for catching up with friends. The guy that was working was also super nice! He explained the tea process to us & even talked about the steps as he was doing them. The tea was excellent & warmed us up. All in all, I had an amazing experience & was able to gain a beautiful memory from it. When I remember my visit to Montreal, I'll fondly think about the few hours I spent in this shop with my friends
10/01/25: this place was recommended by a friend, we were 6 & it was one of the most incredible tea experiences we agreed that we had, the lady was very welcoming & warm, sweet & made for us one of the best tea's some of us ever had. The customer service was 100/10. Would definitely urge you to try this place.
