Review Summary

Latto - Café & Bar Laitier draws praise for a delicious matcha with ice cream affogato style and the richness of a mocha, while hot chocolate is described as absolutely delicious for a cold day, and gelato is a highlight many want to try. The staff is noted as incredibly friendly, and the space is described as beautiful and calm, a relaxing place with a quiet atmosphere that works well for work or a quiet read. There is mention of a barbershop and ice cream shop inside, which some reviews see as a plus, though others say the barber's loud cell phone and the resulting cacophony can disrupt tranquility and the music. A TikTok post helped bring attention to the venue, with positive notes on pastries and the Biscoff latte, which was said to be good. Overall, Latto - Café & Bar Laitier comes across as welcoming and versatile for drinks, desserts, and a calm environment, with clear interest from customers to return for gelato.View restaurant profile

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal

Review Summary

Le Patio Bar Laitier offers a cozy, old-fashioned ice cream experience with a wide range of fruity and classic flavors and a sunny terrace that makes it a pleasant stop during a summer stroll along Avenue Mont-Royal; the ice cream is praised for creaminess, and options for vegans are appreciated, with several reviews noting friendly, attentive service and surprisingly late hours. Some orders, however, show inconsistency: the lychee sorbet is not very strong in taste, the hazelnut ice cream chocolate coating can be poorly done, and there are reports of ice cream melting quickly or falling apart on the way out. There are other positive comments about the cremes and the overall quality, and a subset of guests view it as a top spot for a true ice cream treat, though a few people were disappointed by soft serve and frozen yogurt. Accessibility and seasonal reminders appear in some reviews, noting a ramp outside with a moderate slope, limited interior accessibility, and November closures. All in all, Le Patio Bar Laitier seems to be a beloved destination for creamy ice cream and nostalgic ambiance, with plenty of flavors and a welcoming vibe, even if a couple of items could use more polish.View restaurant profile
