Oh man, did Sweet Lee's change owners? The old decor was really unique & rustic, but now it looks like they've completely gutted it out & replaced it with a very "vanilla" decor. I'm going to miss the old bakery; it used to have so much character. Now it looks more like a generic cafe. I still enjoyed their croissants & coffee nonetheless, but it looks like their selection shrunk too. It's unfortunate.
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.
What's happened with this place I liked this coffee place so much before, especially the original & so beautiful decor. Now, with the white walls, cheap chairs, & repainted vintage-looking ceiling (my favorite 🥲), the ambiance is gone. The food looks smaller & there's less choice than before. We bought our favorite croissants, &... they were not good cooked inside (I hope I'll not be sick). With the old owners, we had this feeling of being with a family. Now, ... it's cold, any "Allo" when you come inside. With a broken heart, I'm putting this one star for ambiance. One more place that's gone ... 💔
