Première Moisson is seen as a bakery with excellent croissants, breads, and pastries, offering fresh, well presented desserts and a wide variety that many reviewers say is worth the visit, with friendly and knowledgeable staff when available and boxes ready for travel. Yet experiences vary, with some customers reporting rushed, impersonal service, uncomfortable seating, a lack of non caffeinated drinks, and long waits, while a few note quality control issues such as burnt bottoms on loaves and excessive flour.

On peak days such as Christmas Eve the staff are praised for organization and efficiency in handling high demand, underscoring a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across locations and times.View restaurant profile
