Ahuntsic-Cartierville

Review Summary

Reviews of La Petite Boulangerie present a mixed overall impression. The baguette quality is often criticized for a hard crust and a rubbery interior and not especially flavorful, though a few praise it as the best baguette in Ahuntsic or Quebec. The selection is described as limited and sometimes lacking early in the day, with opening hours sometimes problematic. On the positive side, pastries are frequently described as delicious, fresh, and made with care, and some customers find the shop charming and a good place for bread, pastries, local cheeses, homemade pates and desserts, and even thin crust pizzas. Customer service appears to be a major point of contention, with many noting unfriendly staff or owners, while others report very kind and attentive service. Prices are generally considered affordable. The overall picture shows a neighbourhood staple that can deliver standout pastries and a pleasant atmosphere for some, but inconsistent product quality and service can leave other visitors disappointed.View restaurant profile
