Overall the consensus is that the food is good, portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making Restaurant 25e Avenue a reliable go to for casual meals.View restaurant profile

Bernice

Bakery Pastries Café Desserts & Sweets

Review Summary

Bernice is widely praised as a solid bakery with standout items like brioche, cookies, cinnamon buns, and cakes, with the brioche described as moist, fluffy, and indulgent and the blueberry coffee cake highlighted as one of the best, though not always available as often as shoppers wish. The cookies are a major draw, thick and crisp on the outside with a moist interior, and some favorites such as chocolate chip with pecans balanced by the nuts; several notes call the prices high but worth it for the quality. The cakes and birthday treats earn high marks for flavor and presentation, and the cinnamon buns are often called the best in Montreal, with inventive flavors and generous portions. Service and ambiance are frequently praised for friendliness and cleanliness, though a few reviews point to occasional waits or inconsistencies and some issues with delivery or wrong cake orders. Taken together, Bernice stands out in the city for rich, indulgent pastries and attentive service, best experienced by sampling a few signature items like the blueberry coffee cake, cookies, and cinnamon buns, while anticipating a higher price point.View restaurant profile

Patisserie Bao Bao Dim Sum

Chinatown

Bakery Pastries Sandwiches

Review Summary

At Patisserie Bao Bao Dim Sum, reviews highlight soft, fluffy bao buns with a pillow-like texture and a broad range of fillings ranging from spicy pork and beef to green onion and teriyaki chicken, plus sweet options such as custard bao and an egg tart with a HK style character. Prices are described as reasonable and service as quick, making it a convenient quick bite with limited seating that often favors takeout. The experience can vary by item, with many buns praised for texture while some fillings feel mild or underseasoned and a few pastries like mochi mango and taro not impressing every visitor. A noted drawback is a plain white paper underneath the buns that sticks or tears, and in general the glutinous rice in leaves can be underseasoned for some tastes. Overall the place stands out for variety and value in Chinatown, and many would return to try additional items.View restaurant profile
