    I'll preface this review by stating that I'm not the target demographic; I drink without cream or sugars, and I'm not vegan. Anyways it was overpriced for average to poor tasting food. They asked for a 25% tip for taking the bisconie out of the display case. There aren't café vibes here for productivity when working here either, it's more of a "cafe-teria", just tables in the middle of a giant empty space.

    A calm, and quiet atmosphere with good vegan options, great coffee and a really relaxing setting. The baristas are soft spoken and the cafe feels like a respite from the loudness of the city just outside it’s doors.

    I had a latte and a patty. The latte was amazing (5/5) and the patty was ok (3.5/5).

    I love this cafe and I’m so happy they opened up a new location! The matcha lattes are probably the best in the city and since it’s all vegan, you don’t have to pay additional charge for plant based milks (most at least, some have additional charges). They have vegan sweets and treats and the best carrot cake I’ve ever had! The cream cheese really tasted like cream cheese despite not being made of dairy. It’s a little bit expensive but so worth it. The people working here are super friendly too. Seating are large shared tables above their little cafe. Surprisingly quiet despite being super open!

    This fully vegan cafe offers a wonderful range of plant-based pastries and drinks. This includes boba and turmeric lates. You can also purchase plants here and snacks. On top of that, it offers a great study spot in the middle of downtown right next to McGill. Ps. The cookies are my absolute favourite

    Great cappuccino! Had a croissant and a blueberry danish. Bought a plant that they sell with a partnership of a local greenhouse. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Lovely space to have a quiet coffee on a Saturday morning.

    Lovely little cafe with an amazing selection of plant based milk. Especially loved the hôjicha latte which was a new discovery and tasted amazing. Really cute plants give a nice relacing atmosphere. Great spot to do a bit of work 😊

    The Matcha Biskitto is the best amaretti/almond cookie I’ve ever had! I bought one, then ended up buying the rest of their stock. I wish we had this in the Greater Toronto Area too! 🥹

    Fantastic cheesecake. Fantastic Americano. Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic and fun service. Open at night, which is when I like to go. Winter is going to be spent there.

    I love this vegan tea/coffee house, clean, refresh, white, minimalist, with just a little bit futuristic. Matcha latte with macadamia and soy milk both taste great. The vegan banana chocolate bread is very soft, moisture and not sweet at all. Those cute succulent plants definitively add more lively vibe to the cafe.

    Love this cafe! They have such wonderful options. Their croissants are to die for (we went back several times to get them - they do also sell out quite fast). I also really liked the patty that they serve, very flavourful. Lastly, I really enjoyed their coffee. So much so that I bought a bag for myself at their other location. If I lived in Montreal, I’d be attending this spot regularly. Can’t wait to go back on our next visit.

    FINALLY a coffee that doesn’t overcharge you for not wanting to drink milk from a cow. Super friendly staff, tables to sit and work & all vegan food. The coffee was great!

    Have been here a couple of times. Great cafe, especially for vegans. Have tried a couple of their drinks - Chai, Dirty Chai, Flat White, Curcuma etc - all great, especially Dirty Chai. Last time, we also tried their Danish and a Veg Patty. Both good. Plenty of seating space right behind the counters and on the other side of the passage behind that seating space. The staff is great and friendly.

    Popular cafe with many tables, good internet, and multiple power outlets. Located in the spacious, high-ceiling lobby of an office building. There are numerous choices of beverages including teas and coffees, plus delicious baked goods, packaged plant milks, and much more. 100% plant-based!

    If you're looking for houseplants to be delivered to your doorstep during this pandemic, this is the one! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Leaves House. ✨ First of all, their selection of plants is really great. I was able to find some rarer ones at reasonable prices. They arrived super healthy, and within <20 hours of ordering! I also received extra terra cotta saucers in the shipment for free. 🤯 Also, Jeremy answered my questions right away, and his responses were super thoughtful and kind. 5/5 on all fronts - I can't recommend them enough!

    Café Leaves is definitely my favorite coffee place. Amazing coffee and tea. Great deserts. They even sell plants and other food products. The best in all this, it is all vegan!

    One of the best coffee places I know (and also a plant boutique). They got macadamia milk which is pretty rare (for sale too!). Their black coffee is always fantastic (others too, but I always black-coffee-test places to feel the true taste of the drink). Another must-try is their power lattes, but I greatly prefer their hot version over icy one. One of the best scones in the city too, and a lovely variety of quality chocolate flavord (including the less expensive all-small one-bite servings to complete your coffee). A total must in the area.

    Excellent, nerdy 3rd wave flatwhite, extracted in perfection (zero sour, zero bitter). They offer more than ten different kinds of plant milk. I came here twice a day to survive my jetlag, lol. Highly recommended!

    Cute vegan cafe! I like the location, the space is very bright and open. I got the Hojicha latte and lavender latte, both with oat milk. I’d come back to try other stuff.

    Love coming here to work! The pastry is amazing and the service is remarkable. 100% recommended. Plus they have some gluten free options!

  • 3/5 Daniel Adams M. 9 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    My order was excellent! But the cafe is good because of consistency issues. Order: Vanilla Matcha Tea (Hot) Presentation: Beautiful art on the surface and the cups look nice. Quality of ingredients: Everything was fresh, the milk, cream, sugar, matcha, vanilla Technique of Barista: Achieved perfect balance of all ingredients. Perfect execution of simple ingredients into a beautiful cup. Other orders, execution is acceptable but varies in quality. Service: Warm, good, I didn't expect much. I generally don't care as long as they leave me alone. Not troublesome. Good. Value: At 7,73$ tax included. Pricier than starbucks. But the quality is outstanding so I think it has a lot of value at its price point. Sometimes the quality may not be good at the price point so it may not have good value. Consistency: Quality varies drastically. Not consistent. Some food tastes like dog food, others, good. Some drinks taste bland and bad and some drinks taste excellent.

    As a first timer in Montreal had a Wonderful experience of all times. Krystle and Chloe gave an exceptional customer service which I haven’t seen anywhere in a long time. I had a wonderful conversation with these guys and had the best of all time spent here. Would definitely wanna come back here and would like to meet Krystle and Chloe for sure.

  • 4/5 Gilbert Ekale A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a good coffee. Popular with vegan cafe. But their WiFi lags sometimes. The Atmosphere is good for work, study and just chilling.

  • 4/5 Indra J. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent latte art! Delicious healthy matcha. There is never any powder left at the bottom of my cup which speaks to the quality of the baristas that work there! Thank you for all the beautiful plants in an open space. Love to visit every single time. The fact that we can sweeten our drinks as we please is great too.

  • 5/5 Julie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Loveee the coffees & matchas here! Great place to work/study too since there is a top of space & light. There is also a wide variety of pastries & snack. Great location!

  • 5/5 Britt B. 2 years ago on Google
    The day I went it seemed a bit busy with only one person working - the girl working was very nice and she made our order so quick! I was happy to find some red bean daifuku but was disappointed to hear the boba is only available on the weekends. The matcha cookie was so soft and delicious. I would come back but would make sure to go on the weekend to try the boba!

  • 5/5 D M. 4 years ago on Google
    Vegan products, vegan cookies and some gluten free options (Hello Matcha almond cookies)! Lattes are awesome, I tried the matcha and the cacao curcumin and OMG! Totally Blown away! They also have a store in the back with top products for skin, plants for adoption for small price and purses (Matt and Nat😍😍) the staff are awesome front store and back store! There are places to sit and enjoy your drink and work as well, very trendy setting) ..they also have Kombucha in the fridge and some vegan gluten free ice cream options and some salads .. the ice cream is pretty brilliant tasting for a non dairy but it is not house of leaves product. In all, totally must visit at least once 😎🥰😈

  • 5/5 Veronic G. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing cafe. This place is honestly the cutest. They have plants for sale, they have vegan coffees and lattes, pastries, and handbags! Just so cute and the coffee and pastries are SO GOOD 😊

  • 5/5 Varsha 2 years ago on Google
    As tourists, we were looking for an authentic Canadian coffee experience. Of course, we had our fair share of Tim's coffee, but we wanted something unique, like a maple latte. We went to three different coffee shops asking for this drink without much success. Until we got to Leaves House. The server was incredibly kind to our request and got us exactly what we wanted - apparently they make all sorts drinks (including maple lattes)! Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Brianna 2 years ago on Google
    I really like this café because it doesn't charge extra for plant-based beverages. It also offers a small range of food as well as merchandise related to coffee, matcha and tea. They also have gluten-free cookies for those who are gluten intolerant, I'm not sure if it would be celiac-safe. It is quite spacious, as it has not just one, but two areas of seating. I have seen it allow animals inside the premises, so that might be an issue for people with extreme allergies such as myself.

  • 4/5 Kareena B. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere of this cafe is light and comfortable. It is perfect for enjoying a coffee or matcha while studying or catching up with friends. They even offer bubble tea on certain days of the week. The vegan pastry options are absolutely delicious. I loved the greenery around me, and the music that they played was extremely calming. However, there is limited seating, and it is first come first serve.

  • 5/5 reena s. 1 year ago on Google
    We got oatmilk Americano, vegan croissant and vegetables stuffed pastry. Everything was delicious and service was amazing.

  • 4/5 Philip P. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice staff, good coffee with vegan milk options only. Slightly more expensive than your average specialized coffee.

  • 5/5 Naval S. 1 year ago on Google
    Student friendly coffee shop. Excellent oat milk lattes and plenty of seating. Seating is very student and laptop friendly, and vibe inside is quiet so you can get work done if you want.

  • 1/5 W A. 1 year ago on Google
    From my first discovery of vegan coffee, I loved it, but unfortunately it completely changed. I bought a bottle of sweetener, oat milk, and a lavender cookie. Unfortunately, a used bottle and a piece of biscuit, but it is a stone. Are you cheating people? And after I replaced the bottle, a worker came to me with coldness and disgust, as if I was asking her for money. There are other cafes that greet people with respect.

  • 5/5 Amy Z. 11 months ago on Google
    My favourite place to study! It has nice big tables, outlets EVERYWHERE and a bright atmosphere, perfect to get work done. The staff is always very nice and the coffee is pretty good. They don’t have regular milk/cream, only substitutes so a latte can get a bit pricey.

  • 5/5 Xena W. 9 months ago on Google
    Cute cafe near McGill University with a bright, airy, spacious workspace and lovely plants and succulents. Great place to meet up and chat with friends. Decent selection of vegan pastries. The matcha latte was excellent.

  • 5/5 Jia F. 3 years ago on Google
    I literally have only good things to say about this place. I haven't tried many of their foods and prepared drinks, but their selection of vegan milks is AMAZING (they are one of the only carriers of Minor Figures and Oatly in Montreal) and the prices are fair. Their selection of plants is abundant (and relatively cheap!) and the tables are always spotless (important during COVID times!). They also often do giveaways/deals, and they are very active on Instagram. I don't think most of the staff have vast plant knowledge, but are super friendly and will try their best to help you! I've taken 3 friends here already, and plan to take more! :D

  • 5/5 Angel 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Romain G. 3 years ago on Google
    Only good experiences here. They use Ontario based Pilot Coffee roasters for both regular and decaf, which is 10/10. Vegan milk and pastries, plus a plant shop, makes this place the best coffee shop downtown!

  • 5/5 Trista G. 3 years ago on Google
    I live in Manitoba, and when a dear friend lost a loved one, I wanted to send them something to know they were on my mind and show them how much I care. Upon order, I wrote what the gift was for in the order notes. Not long later, I received an email from Leaves House saying they would include a hand-written note and even a little extra gift in the delivery. My friend was beyond grateful and it really meant a lot to them in this hard time. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Bibi A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little vegan coffeeshop with lots of plants. They serve their lattes only with vegan milk, like almond, soy, oat.. They also have some delicious looking vegan pastries but we didn't try them.

  • 5/5 sarah 3 years ago on Google
    The ultimate, perfect study spot with the most delicious coffee. The staff is so sweet, they not only remember what I like to order (chai latte with cinnamon) but they always suggest me something new based on my taste. They have huge tables for people to use which also have access to many outlets so that you can charge your devices. Leaves is located on McGill, less than a 3 min walk from Roddick gates making it an ideal spot for between class studying.

  • 4/5 Justine S. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been to their other location and loved it so I knew what to expect when ordering. Didn't go for the maple latte, went for the maple cocoa instead with coconut milk and yuuuuuum. It was great. Also opted for the chocolate and peach scone. I had a day of writing reviews planned but I found myself at a standstill when it was time to charge my laptop, plugs are only located on the side of the cafe nearest to the glass panels and those were already taken so I had to wait till a spot opened up. So don't come here hoping you'll be able to charge your laptop and work all day unless you come here early and grab a spot. Other than that, it's a good cafe. I wouldn't recommend to study there since it is close to the mall and it's inside the work building so the influx of people is constant and can be a distraction even though it was generally quiet when i went.
