it was my second visit. last year the decor was made of dark wood and it was warm. Now it it a more modern and white. It started a little cold like the decor when the lady at the counter seemed very disappointed that we entered the cafe. when we got to the counter, she told us that she was closing in 15 minutes but she was going to serve us anyway (lucky us) a little weird for a business to close at 8 pm when Wellington street is full of people. we did not order a desert because we were rushed. the latte and the cappuccino were very good. Hard to park on a Thursday night on the street. read more

This is a cute charming artisanal bakery located in the heart of Verdun, featuring a wide selection of unique, fresh & delicious products. Sweet Lee's Rustic Bakery was established in early 2010 in Saint Henri, Montreal, by siblings Liana & Greg Lessard. As the company grew, Sweet Lee's began supplying several quality establishments on a daily basis around the island of Montreal. From 2010 to 2013, the bakery operated from a small locale Saint Henri, Montreal, which was quickly outgrown due to demand and the team's new projects. Shortly after that time, Sweet Lee's relocated to 4150 Wellington, to a larger space, located in the heart of the increasingly popular borough of Verdun. The new space has 50 person dining room, and a summer terrace. The staff is very pleasant and friendly. The pastries and prepared foods are all amazing and the presentation is impeccable....I had a nice fluffy tender bread bun that was very light and tasty. This is a great stop for a pastry, sandwich, cup of coffee or anything else.... read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

On my way back home after running errands in Verdun I found a new gem on Wellington Street; Sweet Lee's, a bakery and coffee shop with seating area, had just relocated from St-Henri to Verdun. I stopped in my tracks, admired the baked goods in the window and I could not resist; I had to investigate this new place! A café mocha and an amandine (almond croissant) later, I found myself very pleased by the quality of the food and the beverage; the croissant was tastier and chewier than I had expected. The decor was also very charming; red walls, wooden panels, doors and fixtures, light bulbs encased in jars suspended from the ceiling and booths made out of varnished park benches. And oh boy, finally a decent coffee shop at proximity, right on the corner of De L'Église Street! My dream came true! Sweet Lee's has all to please; good food, good coffee, good location and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend and I will be back, more often than my wallet recommends, I think! read more

ordered the sugar maple pie with Bacon for Pie day. I have a sweet tooth, so I really liked it. it could be a bit too sweet for people who are not into dessert. The bacon really helps balances out the sweetness pretty good croissant and scones here as well The walnut bread is also one of my favorite read more

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. read more

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 ! read more

What a cute little spot in Verdun! When we got there, it was nice and quite and plenty of tables. But by the time we were ready to go, the place was packed! They share the space with a coffee/tea shop. It was a little inconvenient to be in two separate lines but I understand. Quite clever of them to set up shop like that and share the rent. The pastry case was full of amazing ladies o king treats. It was difficult to decide but I chose the almond croissant and a blueberry muffin. The croissant was pretty good but the muffin didn't taste right. Some of the reviews mentioned that some baked goods were not too sweet but I felt like my blueberry muffin was actually kinda salty. There are so many things that looked really good so I won't hold that against them. Will definitely come back to try other items. read more

Highly recommend stopping by this bakery. I had the best sugar cookie of my life here. It had sugar crystals coating the top of the cookie which gave it this crunchy texture that then melted into the soft gooey inside of the cookie. Everything we got was just incredible. The cafe is just adorable with a decent amount of seating. The staff was very nice and excused my mediocre French. read more

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. read more

Finally! A proper bakery and sweet shop in Verdun! I stepped into Sweet Lee's a few days ago for the first time and was immediately impressed with the vibe and offerings. With soft cookies, quiches, crumbly pies, sandwiches and salads, along with an amazing coffee/health bar on the other side, Verdun has scored another amazing spot to satisfy your sweet tooth. Literally sitting across the street from the majestic church on Wellington Avenue, Sweet Lee's is steps away from metro De L'Eglise as well. You cannot go wrong coming in here on a cold winter's day to indulge in a cookie and some tea while stealing an hour for yourself to read a book or catch up on your email. Love it! read more

Hands down one of favorite bakeries in Montreal Keep going and wishing you more success!!!

Just moved in around the corner and the herb croissants are kickass. I take bakeries seriously, and croissants in particular. This place is right up there with the best in Brookline, New York, and Paris, France! Definitely pop over and get your pastries here, you won't be sorry! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sweet Lee's - French scone - Desserts Near Me - Verdun, Quebec

I've been coming to this shop for two years now and still pretty much into it: that's how good they are. Ambience is really good, when you get inside the shop, it is divided into two: right side for coffee(st henri), the other for pastries and sandwiches. St. Henri tastes really like...well, coffee! I always get an extra hot Mocha whenever it's cold and an Iced Latte during the summer. Staff are wonderful, very accommodating and friendly..make one hell of a coffee, too! Sweet Lee's offer a good chunk variety of cookies and sweets, my favorite is the cowboy and mint chocolate cookies as well as the triple chocolate cake. They also sell bread and sandwiches, great place for casse-croute: try the one with smoked salmon, I kid you not, it's delicious!!! This place is my go to place because it's rustic style gets to me, I find it really homey. I could sit there for hours and read a novel or journal. You may also sit on their terrasse out front during summer and catch up with friends. Which reminds me, a friend tells me it's a bit pricey for her here but I feel like you get what you pay for. read more

We came here looking for dessert and got ourselves a chocolate fondant. The sweet thing about Sweet Lee's is that they have different kinds! I got the marzipan one, while my friends got the raspberry and another kind I don't remember. All of us enjoyed our respective choices, which was great. I don't drink coffee so I can't write about that but I can tell they're quite serious about that here because they have a massive, separate ordering counter for coffees with the most beautiful retro looking coffee machine. What I really like about the place, beside the fondant, are the decor and ambiance. It's nice and airy, and while brightly lit so you could chill out there with a book , you don't get that unpleasant cafeteria feel. I would go back next time I'm in Verdun. read more

I enjoyed Sweet Lee's for what it was. Not exactly the most enticing selection, but the food was decent and decently priced. The cafe environment was nice and all, and the proximity to the coffee shop (which is in-house but a separate business) was convenient. The food is nothing to write home about, but you may find something you like. read more

Boulangerie, pâtisserie, sandwicherie et coffee shop, il y en a trop. Impossible de savoir où commander, les gens se battent pour avoir l'attention des préposés exténués. Vous pouvez manger sur place mais c'est très bruyant. Déçus de notre pain. Je ne recommande pas. read more

Loved the Sweet Lee's/St. Henri Coffee coffee shop! The coffee (I ordered a flat white) and the treats from Sweet Lee's (broccoli Quiche) were the perfect snowy day lunch. Lunch time (12-2) is quite crowded! I was able grab a seat in front of the window and enjoy my treats and a book while people watching. Very low-key- great location to get work done! Free and reliable Wi-Fi and utility plugs to charge up and it's across the street from the De l'Eglise station on the green line. read more

I've so glad to hear of this accessible location. I used to go to the bakery when it was in St. Henri - that's true love as it was really out of the way. I had to take STM and walk to get there. So aside from the open air markets & bazaars I'd rarely partake of these treats. I will now make it a point to indulge myself more often. read more

It was one of those days when I found myself sitting at home wondering where on earth I could get something sweet in Ville Emard when Yelp offered me this quaint little bakery a 5 minute drive away. I drove over and was pleased to find such a cute and rustic bakery in Verdun with lots of options! I was greeted by a super friendly lady who took her time explaining everything to me (there were so many things to choose from!) Eventually, I grabbed some cookies and a couple slices of cake/brownies/whatever else my eyes which are bigger than my stomach wanted and came home to excitedly share my findings with my husband. Although everything looked super delicious, we found that some items were either way too sweet or that certain items were extremely decadent (ie. a couple bites and you're done). Overall, variety and service was awesome, but I found myself wishing that there was a Premiere Moisson nearby or something of the sort with items that are guaranteed to be delicious. Would I go back? Maybe..but not for anything too decadent...Maybe a croissant or something along those lines would be better here! (FYI, we also tried the croissants and were pleased with them). Overall, A-OK! :) read more

This was a wonderful little discovery that really hit the spot. The pastries and the savouries from sweet Lee's were delicious and the cappuccinos were so good we had to have a second one. It was nice not having to ask for a double shot in order to get A tasty coffee. We sat on the terrace this time but inside looks quaint and cosy also read more

Delish treats, super delish coffee, what more can you ask for? Verdun is really going places. So the deal is that this is a shared space with sweet Lee's and a coffee joint. I'm not a huge fan of the whole pour over thing, but if you are, look no further. Great atmosphere, clean and bright. read more

The baked goods are delicious but way overpriced for what it is. The bakery is badly devided to the point that when you order, people rudely cut you off although you've been there for a good five minutes waiting to be told "ahh well" by the staff there no appologies nothing. They are also closed on Mondays and when inquired about that i also got a rude and beligerent answer "well the bakers need a day off don't you think?". I think this bakery has the most arogant self righteous workers. The products are delicious indeed but the staff needs to act more professionally. I firmly recommend redesigning the bakery so drinks and good are served at the same counter and that a queue line with a "start" sign be put in place to make sure the rude and ubeducated people wait their turn. read more

It's almost worth stepping inside just to have a look around the place. The metal-tiled ceiling, the lamps in glass jars, the wooden benches and panels, it's enough make this spot stand out from all the other cafes and bakeries on Wellington - and there's lots of them. Then, of course, there's the selection of baked goods behind the counter. Always so much to choose from, I couldn't possibly try everything on offer, it all looks delicious. And yet, most of what I've had so far isn't actually all that great. The maple cinnamon roll seemed too dry, and I couldn't pick up any of the maple. The chocolate croissant was all gross and soggy on the inside... Now I mostly come here for their bread, which is excellent, but the whole place seems a bit expensive for what it is. read more

Best bakery in the neighbourhood, and by far! I can't decide which item is my favourite between the chocolate-hazelnut croissant, the raspberry-dark chocolate cheesecake or the hazelnut-chocolate cookie. I usually buy them all and freeze what I can't eat fast. For a few bucks, you can even have it all delivered (fast) to your home if you don't feel like facing the world before having eaten your croissant. read more

Can you imagine a place where everything is absolutely delicious, the staff is very kind and the ambiance is nice? This is it! I've tried the scones salés, the breads, the croque monseigneur, the quiches, the soup, the muffins, fondants, cookies... I'm never disappointed! Verdun needed and deserved a place like this! read more

This place used to be amazing. Unfortunately they haven't had a bread slicer for almost 2 years. How is that acceptable for a bakery? The past 4 times I have been they have served me the wrong soup with extremely stale bread. I'm not kidding, they serve me the wrong soup every time. If they were choosing soups at random they'd have a higher chance of getting my order right. They have served my friend meat soup when she and I ordered the vegetarian one. That is inexcusable. Staff need to know the food they serve customers. read more

Great selection! Croissants are good, and so are their muffins. Convenient there's a place selling coffeee (st.henri) right next to it. Wifi and a nice place to sit down and work or have your breakfast! read more

They had so many great looking pastries and products that there is no way to try them all without multiple visits. They had lots of common as well as exotic cookies. I think it's one of their strong points. I tried both their Chai cookies and espresso Cookies and they were exceptional, chewy and fresh. Hell..I'm not even a fan of cookies. Their version of smoked meat sandwich was good. Not amazing..but good. The pasta Salad was good -not the basic stuff sold in many places-. I'm sure their other salads are just as good. Their Croissant stuffed with Raspberries was heavy and felt a bet doughy and soggy -not soggy bad-. I'm just used to Croissants being lighter and crispier. However, as many Yelpers pointed out, it's a big hit with many people. The reason there is a different line for the coffee, is because it's actually a different business setup in the same shop -St.Henri's cafe-. St.Henri's Lattes are good and the roast their own coffee so it's fresh. You get a discount off your latte if you buy a bag of beans. Seating is nice inside and the place is well lit. Service was very friendly. The combination of these two places under the same roof that are artists at their craft is just wonderful. I wish more businesses did this. Overall, it's a great place if you want to have a tasty breakfast or lunch followed by a great latte. Mostly food oriented places tend to have average or below average coffee or milk based coffee drinks. Having St.Henri's means you're in good hands. Parking is mostly paid street parking. read more

Trendy place with deserts, coffee, and some interesting lunch options. I picked up 2 pies, which were fine but on the pricy side. I would go back to have a light lunch and just chill with a friend. read more

This place is always packed. Great coffee, nice baked goods. Handy place when you only need a snack, and you don't want to buy a baked good that's overly too greasy. read more

This pastry shop located side by side with Cafe St Henri on the Well in Verdun is surely a great place to grab some delicious baked goods. This place is always buzzing and seeing that they share the space with the cafe, you can grab a coffee at the same time but truth be told I've never been able to actually grab a seat here; the space is small and busy so seating is limited. However, I will always stop in for one of their croissants! I've raved over their croissants to everyone! What makes them so good is that their croissants are not only stuffed but also topped with all kinds of goodies; I've had them all and I'm happy when a new seasonal flavour (like maple) pops up. As an avid coffee lover, they have an espresso chocolate croissant that is sinfully good too. Perfect flaky pastry, healthy filling and toppings always add texture and great flavour; definitely stop in if you're in the hood. read more

Calling all cookie lovers and addicts! If you love cookies, THIS is the place for you. Their cookie flavors are beyond amazing and unique. I've already had several kinds, but they are never disappointing. I think it's about 2.50 for one cookie and they also sell salty scones, pasta salads, sandwiches, and quiche. I'm not too crazy about the other stuff they offer, but the cookies? YES! It's attached to a cafe so if you, like me, like to combine coffee with cookies, it's a beautiful advantage. Grab your coffee from across, grab your cookie and then enjoyy. Oh and they have pastries like croissants too I believe. Nice place to quickly grab mini breakfast or snack. It's right by de l'eglise metro! read more

I used the shop's catering services to put together a sit down dinner for 8 during the Holidays. Lee and Greg were wonderful in putting together a terrific menu within my budget. They delivered on time (to Laval, no less), and the food was excellent. The desserts in particular were amazing. I was extremely impressed, and would order from them again in a heartbeat. read more
