Montreal Cafes and Bubble Tea Directory

This is a comprehensive list of every cafe and bubble tea place I have gone and a brief set of opinions per spot:

Cafes (I've omitted the word "cafe" from titles for effective alphabetization)

(I would like to note that I only get Iced Americanos, or Iced Lattes, and if I get a pastry, I get a croissant... boring stuff... )

Alphabet : it's fine... I'm not a massive fan of the cafe layout, and I prefer another cafe on Bernard
Ballet hop cafe : it has AC, and allegedly good matcha. The vegan carrot cake was yum, and the interior is cute
Bravo : very cute interior! Not many other thoughts, I only went once
Brulerie Faro : my favourite cafe downtown, but the espresso was very acidic as of late... lots of seating and ac
Caffe Dante : my friend got a very yummy looking croissant. regular degular cafe, the dishes are cute
Caffetteria : second favourite cafe downtown. Get the espresso slush, its a big girl iced cap. Beautiful italian men work here
Canard Cafe : they have hot dogs for some reason? many locations, large with lots of seating
Castel : very cute, classic downtown spot. This is the first cafe I went to in MTL, lots of seating
CREW Collective : overrated and feels weirdly culty... avoid at all costs
Dispatch : i do not care for minimalism... but it was around the corner soooo sure whatever. My dear friend has THOUGHTS
Espace Amalgame : if you really fuck with Mafalda... this is for you, always very empty, also a restaurant i think
FAME Cafe : i walked past and someone drinking an iced matcha said there was a dj in there, there was also a clothing pop up. No ac, labubu dubai chocolate ass cafe
Fernanda : FUCK I LOVE NATA, its also cute in there. this is the best Bernard cafe, no ac
Humble Lion : oh yea ... close to McGill. i like it, never any seating
Jardin ; vegan. verdun. weird basement seating though theres lots of it
La Chouette : decorate a cookie there or dont go idk, weird vibes if you arent cookie decorating
La Petite Dep : also overrated but not weirdly evil like CREW, many locations, lots of seating
Leaves House : vegan, but idk i like it. Miss the one on La Montagne... (it closed)
Lilli and Oli : very cute! The one in verdun has cute outdoor terrace out back..., lots of seating
Melk : i love the tiny one downtown! If it isnt full, its PERFECT, i don't like the pastries though
Monte Cafe : also a hair and nail salon in little italy. crazy cups for if you stay (wood lid and glass straw!!!!)
Moustache Cafe : GET YOUR MEEP ON NOW, very silly and comitted to the branding...
Myriade : its fine. not as overrated as other mtl staples, i liked the matcha honey ginger iced bev
Neve : i like! the cold brew almost killed me tho... nice to work in the cafe
Nocturne : seems fine! I've gone way less than everyone else i've met... a friend of mine used to work there
OHAYO : their non coffee drinks are really cool and yummy, their food looks good too
