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.

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Used to be a huge fan of this place for years. It is no longer authentic or rustic. Pastries taste stale & are overpriced now. Selection is cut in half.

Pricey & the fondant isn't recommendable at all 🥲

They have a great variety of pastries & sandwiches which are always a hit. I am also a big fan of their quiches, although they are quite pricey. The service really depends on the day, but it is mostly good. However, I used to really love this place, but as one of the previous comments mentioned, since the renovation the bakery no longer feels rustic & their prices have gone up significantly, even though it was not cheap before already. I used to go at least once a week, but since the renovation, I've only gone twice.

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.

Me & my girlfriend were big fan of sweet Lee's & are absolutely shattered by the new decoration, where's the silver ceilings! The warm red walls, the plants & jars full of nice things, the cozy seating, the dark wood... It used to feel like a cozy little kitchen with so much personality ! Very disappointed by the bland redesign who stripped all identity from this peculiar place.

Great atmosphère & great food... Oops, the place has changed. More tables, but large plush chairs, no more funky music, less food choices, less intimate atmosphere but the coffee is still awesome at least. Decidedly less of a fan.

Our visit to Sweet Lee's was a mixed bag of emotion! The selection was good, but seems to have shrunken from before it renovation. The food quality (particularly the croissants) remained excellent. The atmosphere however seems to have lost some of its charm during the renovations, changing its rooted rustic theme into a more Instagram-able upscale vibe.

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!

Si vous passez du côté de la rue Wellington, arrêtez-vous à ce café . Il a été entièrement rénové pour offrir un espace à la fois cosy & décontracté. Personnel jeune & sympathique, sandwich & pâtisseries de qualité ! Un incontournable dans le quartier !

Rien de rustique là dedans, du service désorganisé à la qualité des pâtisseries congelées & sorties depuis bien longtemps....

Merci pour la musique. Bossa; douceurs; les cafés jouant autre chose que de la pop music irritantes se font rares ces temps ci il semblerait. Service & pâtisseries au top aussi

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 🤩.

C'est bien différent mais pas pour le mieux... l'ajout de places assises & la disparition du deuxième comptoir est un grand soulagement mais la réduction de leurs offres (& la disparition de leur meilleurs stock comme les soupes & leur meilleurs sandwich, à mon avis) n'en valait pas le prix... Le service s'est aussi grandement détériorer... ça n'est clairement plus une boulangerie rustique... Je suis un peu consternée qu'on aie donné ma commande à quelqu'un d'autre alors que j'attendais directement devant le comptoir! ( 2 fois) Bref... bel effort sur le décor mais ils ont peut-être oublier que ce qui compte le plus c'est l'expérience client :
