LEAVES HOUSE (McGill)
About
Many note that it's not overly sweet or grainy, with one reviewer stating the barista kindly offered to make them two complimentary drinks that were 'absolutely delicious - smooth, perfectly balanced, and refreshing.' While some find it a bit bitter or grainy, the overall quality is highly appreciated. The matcha latte, often paired with macadamia milk (priced at $7.73 tax included), is frequently highlighted as a standout item. Additionally, the atmosphere is noted for being super cute and very lovely, with good music playing in the background. Despite some complaints about the need to get a seat early due to high student traffic, the friendly and kind staff who are bilingual provide quick service and accommodating behavior, making it a cozy spot for work or study sessions. The prices are generally seen as fair for the quality provided, though some wish for non-vegan milk options beyond grey pistachio and oat milk.". The consensus is that LEAVES HOUSE (McGill) offers exceptional matcha with a pleasant ambiance and good service, making it a worthwhile visit for those seeking high-quality plant-based beverages. Period.
