    Vegan stuffed cupcake and large soy latte

    What a beautiful artisanal bakery! I got caught in the rain and came in and they first offered me napkins to dry off. They spoke in French and English and were cautious to not give me anything with dairy in it, as I'm allergic. They suggested this incredible stuffed berry cupcake. They nailed it. The latte was beautiful and delicious, too. I'm so glad I stopped in. What a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and kind staff!

    I can't say that my last experience was the best I found the cakes to be dry and over priced. The fruits on top were not fresh and the triple chocolate cake was super dry and way to sweet we could not finish it.

    OMG Sweet, Sweet Lee's... what can I say? This place has THE best cookies! So many choices and some guilt-free options too! The interior is gorgeous and their viennessoire options are overwhelming, it's difficult not to leave with a bag full of items. Definitely the best in the area!

    An incredibly cozy decor enhances the already wonderful quality of menu items with an intimate comfort in this lovely Verdun bakery. Although there were many inticing treats to procure ; we decided to end spooky season with a couple of seasonal pies and we were not dissapointed with the very fresh, flaky, buttery crust sorrounding a delicious filling with the perfect level of sweetness - An appropriately excellent dessert for autumn weather.

    All kinds of muffins

    Amazing pastry store. Love everything in it. They have a lot of choices for sweet pastry, muffin, cookie, croissant, and cake. The only thing I don't like is they don't put price on the food. So you never know how much you are gonna pay. I think their price is higher than average pastry store. However given the specialty, it's worthy.

    This lil spot sits across in the same building as cafe st Henri. They dish out some amazing sandwiches and pastries. Got some food to go along with my coffee while I was in and had the pleasure of sitting down and being served for a quick little dit down. Ended up getting roasted vegetable and tomato Ham and Brie sandwiches with a Greek salad. When you first walk in youre greeted by the lovely red paint and decals. But the real show stopper is the pastries display lots of options to choose from and quite a few of them are vegan which means even the pickiest of eaters can come on down and get an amazing dessert It was all very delicious and I ate everything of my plate very easily. The downside for me was that it was a tad bit to pricey. If you're in the area make sure to grab something they even have outdoor seating for you and your furry friends !

    Location: In the heart of Lasalle. Space: I LOVE it! It's very rustic, with wooden benches, red walls, and a funky metal-tiled ceiling with of course, shiny new displays. The food stuff is immediately to your left, while the coffee/beverage station is to your right. It can be a little confusing when you want to order though - there wasn't really an order to the line, and I wasn't sure if it started at the cash or immediately at the end of the counter (i.e. when you walk through the door). It also wasn't clear to me if you have to order your drink separately from your food, or order at the same time, pay at the food cash then move over to the coffee station. Food: First of all, everything looked bloody amazing. They had huge cookies, brownies, pizza, bread etc. Since we were taking our order to go (no room to sit), I just ordered a dark chocolate +espresso + cinnamon cookie that was to die for. It was so incredibly fresh that the big chocolate chips were melting in the bag. That worked out well because the chocolate froze as I walked outside so I was able to pick it off the bag and eat it. What? Don't give me that look! Service: Good. I really wasn't in there that long to elaborate so I guess I'll just have to go back. There's a brownie with my name on it =-) Verdict: Go! But be warned, I think the hipsters have already taken ownership of the place.

    French scone

    Delicious selection of pastries, salads and sandwiches. Great concept too: it shares the location with Cafe St-Henri which serves delicious coffee and tea. The perfect combo! I had a French scone today (Brie, Apple and onion) and it was very tasty. There is a lot of seating area and many outlets on the side tables for people who want to get work done.

    Sweet Lee's / Café St. Henri is heaven. Not a slice of heaven...heaven in the shape of a big, tender croissant piled high with cranberries and blueberries, and an expertly-poured latte in a sweet turquoise mug. Seems like last year you could find Sweet Lee's pastries across town, but the tides of pastry distribution seem to have changed, and now I need to haul myself to Verdun to get my fix. And I do. I really cannot imagine a better combination. Amazing coffee. Amazing pastries. Lovely, warm, quirky décor. (The bathrooms have special lights on the outside, so you can easily see from your seat if they're occupied or not! No waiting awkwardly and deciding whether you ought to knock!) Friendly staff. Prices are a bit spendy, but you're paying for the best quality you can find in the city. Really, I can't find a fault even if I try. Love, love, love.

    One of the best matcha soft serve I've had (and I've had a lot!). Completely comparable to Japan,…read morebetter than most places in the United States. The matcha flavor is strong and dense, the soft serve is not overly sweet, and best of all, it doesn't melt super easily. The soft serve holds up very well against a spoon. I find that too often soft serve is toooo soft and liquidy. This was not the case here! Also tried the yuzu slushie which was delicious and perfectly made too. Not overly sweet or bitter. Consistency excellent for a slushie. Great for a hot day if you don't want matcha here! Wish I had time to come back again before leaving Montreal!

    I became obsessed with matcha after I came to Matcha Zanmai for the first time. I tried their latte…read moreand cakes, but the Signature Zanmai is in my opinion the best item on their menu. Not only does it come with matcha ice cream, it has red beans, chunks of matcha cake, matcha jelly, and some rice crispies inside. It's texture heaven for people who like a little bit of everything. Though the rice crispies do get a bit soggy because they are on the bottom, so if I suggest trying to get to the rice crispies sooner rather than later! It's a pretty small store so it's not a hangout spot, but more of a place to pop in to grab a treat and go walk around the city. I miss this spot and wish they had a location in the US.
