Reviews highlight Mo'Bagels & Beignerie as a warm, family owned spot with a cute atmosphere, where fresh bagels are the star and donuts are a close second. Bagels are praised for their freshness, soft inside and crisp outside, with a honeyed, natural flavor and tasty cream cheese, and the shop is noted as a take-out friendly place where customers can slice and top bagels as they like. Donuts are described as creative and delicious, with the apple fritter noted for real apple pieces and large size, often a favorite, though a few mentions point to some chewiness or dryness and to the lack of filled donuts like Boston cream. The staff are consistently friendly, the service is praised, and the overall experience is described as clean, welcoming, and family owned. Reviewers also commend the variety and quality, calling it among the best bagel and donut options in the area, while some would welcome a bit more variety and slightly earlier weekend hours.View restaurant profile

Ahuntsic-Cartierville

Café Tea Pastries Sandwiches Bakery

Review Summary

Reviews describe Mamie Clafoutis as a cozy, welcoming spot with a broad range of pastries, breads and solid coffee that makes it a nice place to linger. The lemon tart and other pastries are frequently praised, with items like madeleines and pistachio pavés highlighted as delights, while some croissants and certain almond pastries are noted as not as fresh or as generous as expected. Pricing is a common point of contention, with several reviews calling some sandwiches and pastries expensive for the portion size and overall value. There are mixed reports on quality from visit to visit, including disappointing galette des rois with bitter almond cream and tough pastry versus moments of fluffy, flaky pastry and satisfying breads. The atmosphere and staff are repeatedly described as friendly and efficient, while seating can be limited and some customers observe others occupying space without ordering. Overall, Mamie Clafoutis is seen as a reliable place for tasty treats and a pleasant cafe experience, though price sensitivity and occasional inconsistencies temper the impression.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Across reviews, Atelier Marjorie is described as a charming spot for indulgent pastries and creative cake decorating, with desserts like lemon tart, eclair, chou and macarons frequently praised for balance, flavor and texture, and cake designs such as the Paris Brest noted for beauty and taste.

Sorel-Tracy

Bakery Pastries Desserts & Sweets Café Sandwiches

Review Summary

Christophe elicits mixed impressions, with pastries and bread frequently praised for flavor and quality, especially croissants, and a wide range of desserts and Danish pastries described as excellent, though one cake glaze was deemed greasy and in need of a rethink. Beverages are generally well received, including good coffees and a London Fog, but coffee can be a bit bland for some.

Service ranges from quick and friendly to uneven, with occasional misses like lack of a water glass. Prices are seen as reasonable by some and expensive by others. Taken together, Christophe offers strong pastries, solid drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere with opportunities to improve coffee balance, service consistency, and value perception.View restaurant profile

Bernice

Saint-Henri Montreal-Southwest

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

Outremont

Café Tea Pastries Sandwiches Bakery

Review Summary

Overall Mamie Clafoutis earns praise for high quality baked goods, with standouts like the cinnamon roll, brioche and the ficelle sandwich, and the shop presentation is appealing, but prices are frequently noted as high and some items' sizes have shrunk, which some see as inflation. The dining experience leans takeout only, with no seating and the upstairs area not reopened since the pandemic, diminishing the atmosphere for those who enjoyed eating in. Service is described as helpful and pleasant, though warmth and consistency vary by visit. Some reviews compare unfavorably to other locations or feel the selection is limited near closing, while others remain drawn to the bread and prepared foods. Despite these caveats, the overall quality remains solid and Mamie Clafoutis remains a favorite for sandwiches and pastries, especially among fans of well-made bakery items.View restaurant profile

Les Delices Lafrenaie

Montreal-West Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG)

Bakery Pastries Desserts & Sweets Sandwiches

Review Summary

Reviews describe Les Delices Lafrenaie as a cozy rustic bakery with a welcoming team and a wide range of cakes and pastries including a wedding cake design process that was easy and well received, gluten and dairy free options that were delicious, and a variety of desserts such as the Oreo cake that are praised for freshness and flavor. Frozen cakes are highlighted as a smart last minute solution and custom cakes often turn out exactly as designed, with the Frutti di Bosco and lemon raspberry cakes among favorites that draw compliments and requests for where to get them. However some concerns surface about price increases and occasional quality gaps with some cakes tasting dry or fridge like when not fresh, and a note that vegan options in the ready to eat section are limited. A few negative experiences include online pie orders delivering the wrong items while charging more than double and poor customer service in resolving the issue, leading to a bank dispute. Overall the place is seen as a popular sweets destination with a warm vibe and strong product variety that families enjoy, though not without occasional issues.View restaurant profile
