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.
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!
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!
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 !
I was in Montreal for business & stumbled on Plentea & it was a great find.
The space has a fun, buzzy vibe & my tea latte was smooth, balanced & delicious…I got so addicted to the tea that I returned multiple times during the week! Cookies are also very tasty.
Staff were upbeat & on the ball, even during the rush. The friendly guy at the counter even knew my order by memory after a couple of days.
A great little spot if you're after quality tea & good energy.

The tea is unique & delicious, & although I didn't get one during my visit the cookies & pastries looked incredible. Don't come here if you are looking to get work done though, it is a little loud & not very spacious. Good experience overall though & would recommend for people who can appreciate quality tea & creative flavor combinations/recipes.
We had a great experience at Plentea - my partner had the famous Chai Karak, I had an After Sunrise, & both were delicious. Mohammed was super friendly & took time & care to explain the teas to us, we'll be back for sure!

Oh this place ❤?❤?❤?❤?❤? everything about it is soooo beautiful. The vibes, the area, the little table with the gingham tablecloth, the music & of course the varieties of teas with all the exotic & warm flavours & their homemade bakery 😍 the staff members are super friendly & sweet.
Good food & nice cool service. I had the falafel wrap which is like a flaky pastry dough bread & they put a cheese spread & baby pickles on the falafel. It's a fun treat. I also had the saffron chai tea with oat milk - it was made really well. The barista didn't ask if I want small or medium & just went straight for med cup but when I asked which he chose he offered to change it so best to specify when placing your order. They also don't put a cover on it so it was a bit hard to get around with it. I had to hold it from the bottom & top only as the sides were too hot to hold
'The best Chai EVER!' … exclaimed my daughter as we walked away from tjis last minute stop. The only sad part is we walked back hoping for a cornetto & chai in the AM only to find they were not open. Next time! Oh & best bathroom sink in Montreal lol.
Beautiful & cozy, & has impeccable tea! Wished the menu was available online so I attached it here. I always get their Rooibos latte because I'm basic like that, it's soo good tho!
