About Humble Lion
Humble Lion is a Montreal coffee business that started as a downtown café and grew into a roaster. It is known for its Résilience espresso blend, a house coffee that regulars come back to. Roasting its own beans lets it shape the flavour of every cup it serves.
It suits coffee lovers who want good beans for home, students and office workers looking for a downtown coffee stop. Pick up a bag of Résilience for your espresso machine or moka pot, and ask how to brew it. A bag of freshly roasted coffee also makes an easy, welcome gift for anyone who loves their morning cup.
