Reviews portray Boulangerie les Co'pains d'abord as a cozy French bakery with superb pastries and breads, including flaky croissants, chocolatines, cannelés, brioche and tarts, paired with excellent coffee, and an atmosphere that is welcoming with friendly staff frequently praised. Many visitors hail the quality, variety and value, with some calling the croissants among Montreal's best, while a few items disappoint with freezer-taste desserts, croissants that are a bit dry or have burnt bottoms, and occasional service hiccups. Overall the bakery reads as a must visit for a satisfying pastry or sandwich break during a Montreal outing.View restaurant profile
