Drummondville

Bakery Pastries

Review Summary

Boulangerie Délices Granada earns praise for its pastries and its wide range of breads and viennoiseries, with baguettes a frequent favorite and even a chorizo and mustard baguette described as succulent. While a morning latte fell short for one guest, overall quality remains consistently high and the selection is impressive, including a carrot cheesecake with dulce de leche that many consider a real delight and an almond croissant that stands out. For quick lunches, chicken empanadas hit the mark and chocolate twists are also a popular pick, with other Danish pastries and treats noted as excellent. Several reviews point to friendly staff and a generous assortment, though the queue arrangement could be improved when crowds are heavy, but the detour to visit is often judged worth it. Overall the bakery is regarded as among the best in the area, inviting repeat visits thanks to consistent quality and variety.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

At Boulangerie de Froment et de Sève, reviewers praise a wide selection of pastries and breads with a Parisian bakery vibe, and consistently highlight croissants, pains au chocolat, and the kouign amann as standout treats. The galette des rois is well liked by many, though some tasters find the almond frangipane too rich or the individual portions uneven. Several notes emphasize excellent baguettes, tarte pacane, and other specialties, with some calling the croissants the best in town, and a recurring topic about choosing between chocolateine and pain au chocolat.
