Great place for a leisurely afternoon meetup. Nice atmosphere and cozy decor. If you are in a big hurry, McDonalds might be the better option for you. Staff are very nice. Yes, when it gets busy it can take a moment to get served. I like the food a lot. Ok, not the cheapest option in the hood. My prefered neighbourhood hangout.

Service was extremely slow. I ordered a muffin and a piece of cake and the girl kept messing up this very simple order. The muffin was dry and had barely any mix ins, just a sprinkling of chocolate chips on top. The cafe is beautiful, but overall better in the pictures than reality. Pastries are also much smaller than they seem in pictures.

An excellent café with a truly cozy atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. Easily the best coffee on Wellington Street. A special thank you for the Victor Tsoy songs, they made the experience even more memorable!

I visited this bakery and ordered cappuccinos along with a variety of pastries for the family. Everything tasted great, and the quality of the pastries was impressive. The place was a bit crowded, but that’s usually a good sign for a bakery. The only thing that felt a bit odd was the interaction at the counter. The lady with glasses who took our order would reply in English when spoken to in French, and in French when spoken to in English. It wasn’t a big issue, just a funny and slightly confusing moment. 😊 Overall, the food and coffee were excellent, and it's definitely worth stopping by!

This place has gone massively down hill since my original review years ago. They are loudly playing middle eastern music, the food is slow and sub par from before. The bathroom was out of toilet paper and garbage was overflowing. the tables are peeling at the edges from some cheap sticker thing they used to finish them. Skip this and go to a better bakery instead.

Sweet Lee’s is a cozy European-style café and bakery in Verdun that feels both welcoming and thoughtfully designed. The space is bright, recently renovated, and filled with natural light, with plenty of comfortable seating. It works well whether you’re meeting a friend, taking a break during a walk on Wellington, or spending some quiet time with a laptop. Their menu offers a nice variety of baked goods, fresh bread, sandwiches, and desserts. The pastries are well-made and consistently good, and the coffee is solid and enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can actually taste the care put into the food rather than just admire it on Instagram. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, though service can occasionally be a bit slow during busy hours. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but that’s fairly standard for cafés in this area and feels reasonable given the quality and atmosphere. Overall, Sweet Lee’s is a charming neighborhood spot with good coffee, tasty pastries, and a calm, pleasant vibe. It’s not trying to be flashy, and that’s exactly why it works. A lovely place to stop, sit, and slow down for a while.
