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.

Sweet Lee's is a cozy European-style café & bakery in Verdun that feels both welcoming & thoughtfully designed. The space is bright, recently renovated, & filled with natural light, with plenty of comfortable seating. It works well whether you're meeting a friend, taking a break during a walk on Wellington, or spending some quiet time with a laptop.

Their menu offers a nice variety of baked goods, fresh bread, sandwiches, & desserts. The pastries are well-made & consistently good, & the coffee is solid & enjoyable. It's the kind of place where you can actually taste the care put into the food rather than just admire it on Instagram.

The staff are generally friendly & helpful, though service can occasionally be a bit slow during busy hours. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but that's fairly standard for cafés in this area & feels reasonable given the quality & atmosphere.

Overall, Sweet Lee's is a charming neighborhood spot with good coffee, tasty pastries, & a calm, pleasant vibe. It's not trying to be flashy, & that's exactly why it works. A lovely place to stop, sit, & slow down for a while.

We only stopped for a dessert & a iced coffee, wish we could've tried their sandwiches which looks so good

Good location, pretty interior, but ambiance could be better, just people talking or walking ( you can hear people's footsteps when they walk) a little music would've been better. also that day was hot & the AC wasn't working maybe

but overall, loved everything. coffee & our cake was delicious! definitely going back to try other things

Love this coffee shop. Its not too crowded compared to other spots on wellington street & plenty of room between the tables. The desserts menu is great & they have cute mugs. Great for studying or catching up. Staff are super kind too.

Nice atmosphere on Wellington. We stopped in for dessert & coffee while on a walk, the bright atmosphere drew us in. However the coffee & dessert were average. While I was not familiar with this café previously, it seems they have changed ownership & completely renovated the interior. It is beautiful inside & is a nice place to take a break.

La nouvelle décoration montre que l'entreprise se soucie du confort de ses clients. Bien que l'étalage de nourriture soit plus petit, les produits sont plus nombreux & plus variés. Il y a maintenant des pâtisseries fines & des pâtisseries françaises qu'ils n'avaient pas avant mais ils gardent aussi les desserts qu'ils avaient l'habitude de faire. En plus de leurs gâteaux végétaliens qui sont généreux ou & délicieux 🤩.

As of March 2024, absolutely heartbroken about what has happened to this place. For as long as they had been in Verdun, Sweet Lees was my go-to place in a neighborhood with tons of option for both coffee & baked goods. They were simply the best. I was crushed to find out when dropping by yesterday that it suddenly looked like a completely different business, now almost all seating & with the food counter a tiny fraction of the size it used to be, with their inventory naturally cut down just as drastically. Despite how upset I was about it, I still tried to give them a chance & check whether the quality of the food & drinks were still the same. Unfortunately, again, instead of being reassured I had to face the reality that I would have to completely grieve what Sweet Lees used to be. Matcha latté ordered to drink on the spot arrived at a tepid temperature already too barely over room temperature to be enjoyable to drink, let alone sit down & enjoy at a leisure pace. Considering how much they sacrificed to get more seating space, it's strange how this gave the message that they wanted me to hurry up drinking & just get out of there. Also ordered a little cup of maple syrup trifle. Custard was incredibly stodgy, which is sort of an issue when it is the main component of the dessert. I never though there would be a day I would leave a negative review about this place. To be fair, I also never thought that Sweet Lees would one day be run by people who'd decide they'd rather be a middling coffee shop with fancy furniture than a fantastic rustic bakery. If anyone needs me, I'll be busy mourning for a while.

Le sweet lee's Rustic Bakery, c'est un endroit assez sympa & relax pour y manger un petit snack & siroter un bon café. La nourriture y est très bonne & leurs petit dessert exquis. L'ambiance est cool & paisible . Le personnel est chaleureux & courtois, mais la préposée qui m'a servi semblait un peu débordé ne sachant plus quel café j'avais commandé & avait oublié la tartelette que j'avais commandé sur le présentoir. Mais bon elle s'est reprise de ses oublies . Lâche pas ma belle c'est avec le temps que tu deviendras des plus professionnel. 😉

Très bonne boulangerie avec un large choix de dessert.
Ayant travaillé dans le clsc d'à côté, j'avais pour habitude de me prendre un petit dessert chez eux. Mon coup de coeur était le brownie caramel érable 🥰
& le petit plus c'est qu'il y a des tables pour s'asseoir si on veut se poser !
