Bakery Pastries

Review Summary

Reviews of La Meunerie Urbaine largely praise the bakery for exceptional breads and pastries, with many calling the baguette, croissants, chocolatine, and sourdough among the best in Montreal and the in house coffee a good companion to the baked goods. The self serve area and friendly, efficient staff are frequently mentioned, along with a wide variety of breads, pastries, and desserts and the option to enjoy a sit down. However, several observers note changes since the remodel that closed off the baking area and made the space feel more transactional, diminishing the warmth and charm some customers valued. Some items have seen recipe tweaks or quality shifts, such as thinner baguettes, lighter focaccia, or altered flavors, leading to disappointment for a few loyal patrons. Lines can be long, but the overall sentiment remains highly positive with strong loyalty and a sense that this bakery is a destination in the Montreal area.View restaurant profile
