Cafellini

Fall is for pumpkin lattes but spring is the maple latte season. One of the places to drink this type of latte is Cafellini, located near the Plaza St-Hubert. This is a great way to fill up on maple syrup without having to go to the sugar shack.  Although Cafellini is quite small, the atmosphere is extremely welcoming and the pastries served here are delicious!

Café Névé

If you are a tea lover, chaï lattes are a hot drink to try. It consists of a brewed chaï tea with warm milk. Several coffee shops offer them on their menu, but Café Névé is particularly charming and well worth a visit. This place is known for its delicious lattes, but also for its small dishes that make any foodie salivate. For example, you can enjoy an English muffin with goat cheese and fresh fruit or waffles with bananas, caramel fleur de sel and nuts.

Melbourne Café

To enjoy a non-traditional latte, you must absolutely go to the Melbourne Café. This place, owned by Australians, offers you the opportunity to discover the food culture of their country of origin through a delicious menu. So you can trade in your classic filtered coffee with milk and sugar for a beet latte! This latte is made with a bit of beet juice, which gives it a pretty pink hue. Another interesting drink to discover in this café is the “lucky latte”, a latte brewed with Lucky Charms cereal milk and decorated with the famous Lucky Charms marshmallows.
