Première Moisson

Bakery Pastries Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches Salads

(72)

Downtown

Review Summary

Reviews describe Première Moisson as a solid, unpretentious bakery and patisserie with a broad range of fresh offerings from almond croissants and breads to pastries, sandwiches and cheeses, making it a convenient stop for a quick coffee or a sweet pause, especially for travelers arriving by train. The almond croissant is frequently praised, and chocolate hazelnut cakes or other desserts like "O lala au chocolat" are noted as tasty treats. However, experiences are mixed with reports of rude or slow service, particularly in the evening, long waits, or items arriving cold, and a tendency for older stock to be sold first at times; the payment terminal can feel odd and the place can get crowded. Overall, Première Moisson is seen as a reliable, varied option with many flavorful choices and solid quality that shines on certain items, even if inconsistencies prevent it from being a definite standout.View restaurant profile

The reviews highlight delicious quesabirrias, tacos pastor and chorizo, enchiladas, tamarindo, arroz con leche and pozole with generous portions and reasonable prices, along with friendly service and a pleasant ambiance.

Overall the sentiment is that the place delivers authentic Mexican flavors and a nice atmosphere, making it a solid neighborhood option, though several reviews call for more consistency and value.View restaurant profile
