Review Summary

Sweet Lee's Boulangerie Rustique in Verdun is described as a cozy European style cafe and bakery with a bright, welcoming space perfect for a coffee break or a casual meet up. The pastries and desserts are frequently praised for quality, with several standout items and solid coffee, though some reviews flag inconsistency and occasional stale or underbaked bites, along with higher prices for the area. Service is noted as friendly but sometimes slow or forgetful, especially when busy, and a few orders have been mixed up or tables left unclean. The ambiance and decor receive frequent compliments, and the site is said to be pleasant for studying or lingering, with a warmer atmosphere noted before and after renovations. Overall, Sweet Lee's offers a charming neighborhood spot with good coffee and pastries, but price and consistency concerns surface across visits.

I don't like the new look of the cafe & the menu is just confusing now because I don't know what I'm supposed to expect, high end French pastries or vegan cakes & cookies? Before, it had a rustic charm & the pastry counter was big & long, showing a variety of croissants & bread. This place used to be known for its croissants & cookies, now those are gone, partly because they reduced the counter space. Now, it's pretty clear they're following French baking micro trends like trompe l'oeils, flat croissants, New York croissants, etc. Also, for whatever reason, the baker is obsessed with making so many pistachio-flavoured cakes & pastries. Honestly, I just feel bad for the employees because they have barely any counter space to work on & one tiny oven for heating up sandwiches. They're basically on top of each other. What this place is missing is a menu board to put on the wall. It looks like the interior designer put all the furniture in for a fancy French cafe but forgot that you need pastry cases & worktops for the employees, especially a menu board to show prices. I bought a sandwich today & it was still cold in the middle after being in the oven. I watched another person make the same complaint. Lastly, I bought two tiny cakes to go but for some reason, they ran out of boxes & put it in a giant 12x12 box. That was annoying to carry home on the bus. Service could be better but it would help to actually design this place as a cafe & not what a movie set designer thinks it should be. The prices are a bit much too. At this point, you're better off going to Premier Moisson.

What an amazing place. Love the atmosphere & Decor. Love the staff. I had the « BeneSweet » & it was an amazing display with a large Rockette salad, PLENTY of delicious fresh fruit. The Cafe Americano is excellent; just perfect. The caffe Latte is also excellent. Just one little thing: The savory scones were a little below par. a little too crumbly & the delicious stuffing was extremely sparse.

This is a beautiful café, but the service when I went was terrible, & the food was at best mediocre. There were only two people working on a busy Sunday afternoon, & it took about 15 minutes to put in an order at the counter. Coffee came with no spoon, there were no clean water glasses left, & the croissant was cold & rubbery- not so different from the six packs at IGA In the plastic containers. My friend's croissant sandwich was also cold. So yay for the decor, but if you can't get a croissant right in Montreal, don't serve them.

exquisite bakery/café super close to De l'Eglise metro station. met up with a friend for tea & tried the croissant fourée au pistache & it was simply divine. very friendly staff, excellent service & they even allowed my cat (who was in his carrier) to sit with us. 5-star establishment you MUST check out when in Montréal

Vraiment déçu. J'ai commandé 2 petits moka pour emporter. La grandeur des verres sont à la caisse. Lorsque la barista m'a remis les boissons, c'était dans des super petits verres un peu comme pour un espresso double. Je lui ait dit que ce n'était pas la grandeur montré. Elle m'a répondu; oui mais on a pu de ces verres là!! & bien pour 5.75$ je m'attendais à mieux. Alors elle m'a simplement mis dans un large, rajouter plein de lait chaud. Bref, le moka goûtait le lait, à peine le café, & le chocolat était dans le fond même pas brasser, on l'a goûter à la dernière gorgée. 2 moka à 15$( incluant 2$ de types) je n'y retournerai surement pas!

I was disappointed when I went to Sweet Lees around 3-4pm today, the cafe wasn't too busy but there were many people trying to have a conversation & the music was being played so loudly it was unpleasant. It wasn't music you would typically hear in a café either. Rap/intense pop music being blasted. The food also took a while to arrive. I am not sure if it is commonplace, but I don't remember having this experience previously. I would definitely say that as a business catering to people studying/having lunch it would be smarter to have a more relaxing ambience.

Depuis que le café a été rénové, la nourriture est délicieuse & j'adore y aller. Le service est aussi très bon, les jeunes de service sont très serviables, souriants & sympathiques & ils vous mettent à l'aise.

C'était mon café de quartier. J'y ADORAIS l'ambiance. Les grandes tables pour y dessiner, les couleurs chaudes, le bois, le plafond de métal & les pots de confiture comme luminaires... En plus des patisseries & du café! J'ignore ce qui est passé par la tête des (nouveaux?) propriétaires. L'ambiance est devenue impersonnelle, commerciale & froide. Mais c'est vraiment un saccage de l'esprit de quartier & une grande perte pour Verdun.

Le service était incroyable, le personnel très accueillant. J'ai commandé une calzone au poulet & c'était parfait, 10/10 un endroit agréable pour prendre un café ou un déjeuner. La friandise au chocolat blanc que j'ai achetée après mon déjeuner valait chaque centime - Oska

Great café! Very busy but lots of seating & great service to table. Their shot is well pulled & smooth. Fresh beans. Very happy about it. I just had an espresso & americano but their other drinks look great. Did not try their sandwhich or pastries but looks good.

Très bons cafés. Aspect négatif, malgré la vente de nourritures, aucune toilette pour se laver les mains ou autre.

Très bon produit, ils viennent de rénover & l'endroit à perdu du cachet. La musique de discothèques trop forte pour un café est vraiment désagréable.

Une révelation cette Boulangerie-Café; j'y suis allé avec mon Amie par hasard hier fin d'après-midi. Premièrement le Décor est magnifique....simple & chaleureux, moderne & classique à la fois...nous avions l'impression d'être dans un Café d'un Quartier Chic de Londres. L'accueil des employés était très sympatique & dynamique (ils semblent fiers d'y travailler -avec raison d'ailleurs-), la nourriture est exquise & la présentation raffinée. Quelle expérience, nous y retournerons encore & encore! "Vraiment la PERFECTION a un nom...La Boulagerie-Café SWEET LEE'S! PERFECTION has a name...SWEET LEE'S! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was our favorite cafe in Montreal. Eclectic & warm interior. Grabbed a corner nook in the front. Perfect place for people watching & to catch the light but not be blinded by the sun for a nice brunch. Everything was delicious as is. No salt, pepper, or anything required which with the amount of varying tastes is a difficult task. Service was endearing, friendly & engaging. Recommended with enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, though I use to love this place, I don't think I'm gonna be coming back :-(. The food tasted so different, as if it'd been reheated, & the staff is super different- did they fire everyone & replace them or something? The service has been VERY different since they did their renovation. Also, the vibe is just way off in there- use to be a super cozy cafe, & now it's sterile with no music. A shame!! I use to love their food!
