About Moody

Leïla, founder of Moody MTL

Where It Began

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted my own coffee shop. I never really thought it would be possible until I had my second child — that's when I finally found the courage to start moving toward that dream, little by little. I left everything behind and enrolled in culinary school. Along the way, I moved through several restaurant kitchens, then a creative catering company, picking up a little more of the craft at every stop.

After graduating, I made my first birthday cake for a surprise party — and seeing my friend's joy at having something made just for her touched me so much, I couldn't stop. That's where Moody was born: the natural next step of a dream that had never really gone away.

The Dream

Dessert as a Love Letter

What pulled me in wasn't just the baking — it was watching how much love people pour into creating a beautiful moment, for themselves or for someone they care about. A cake, to me, is a small love letter. Being trusted to help write it, even for one celebration, is what turned this from a passion project into something I wanted to build into more.

Every order is a moment designed just for you — where you get to be the main character.
And there's more on the way — stay tuned.
