Reviews describe Alice & Theo as a destination for standout cream puffs and inventive flavours, with passion fruit, chocolate, pistachio, saffron, and matcha fillings regularly praised, and the ice cream often noted as fresh and well balanced; the choux pastry and puff pastry are frequently described as delicious and generously sized, though a few notes mention the pastry could be crisper or not too sweet and the cone tasting a bit stale. The service is consistently warm and friendly, with staff offering tastings and clear guidance. Ambience and décor receive mixed comments, with some calling it simple or quirky and others saying it feels like a work in progress, and hours can be unpredictable. Prices are sometimes described as a bit high for the portions, but the overall quality and originality of flavours are seen as worth it. Taken together, Alice & Theo is regarded as a top dessert spot in the neighborhood, known for life changing cream puffs and a memorable, if sometimes idiosyncratic, experience.
My fav sweet treatttttt (cream puff)
Bought 2 boxes to share with my friends 😊😌
Wish the box can be a bit more artistic tho, but the flavour definitely worth the try
My fav is matcha one 😌
Fresh cookies & puffs. The ice-cream loaded stuff is just plain nice. Tried the new strawberry matcha lattes, those were good too.
In winter there's some really good hot chocolate. Little bit pricy for the portions, but quality stuff.
Oh & the service is on point. No complaints there.
Alice & Theo makes, without a doubt, the best cream puffs in the world. If I were on my deathbed & could only have one last bite of food, I'd probably choose one of their pastries-assuming, of course, they'd actually be open. Which brings me to my main issue: this place operates on a schedule that seems to have been determined by throwing darts at a calendar while blindfolded. One day they close at 6 PM, the next at 9 PM. It's like playing a high-stakes game of'Will They Be Open?' every time you crave something sweet.
The interior is also… a choice. I can only assume they ran out of budget after perfecting their recipes because the decor has the charm of a forgotten waiting room at the dentist. It's giving'we just moved in' energy, except they've been open for a while. But hey, who needs ambiance when the food is this good?
& then there's their Instagram. If you've ever wondered what bad marketing looks like, look no further. Their posts have the chaotic energy of millennials on crack, mixed with a deep misunderstanding of what actually makes people want to buy pastries. It's not quirky-it's borderline anti-advertising. The cream puffs sell themselves, but this social media strategy is actively working against them.
So yes, their cream puffs are life-changing, & I will continue to put myself through the emotional rollercoaster of their random hours just to get one. But Alice & Theo, I beg you-hire an interior designer, commit to some normal hours, & for the love of all things holy, get a marketing team. You deserve to thrive, & so do your confused but devoted customers. ❤?
The rose ice cream was good but the cream puff was really bland. I feel like this could have been done better because they make it look so good but it's simply lacking
I bought a box of 6 cream puffs to try them & the size of the choux we're frankly disappointing for the price. Besides the size & price everything else was good. Just nothing out of this world
The matcha cream puff is pure perfection! The place is a bit small so it is better to buy & run, especially since during the summer long lines can form.
The vanilla cream puff that I had here was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The cream to puff ratio was 10/10 & the cream was so stable. It didn't ooze out & create a mess. It has been a few weeks since I experienced this delightful treat & I can't stop thinking about it. I wish that I was still in Montreal because I would eat one of these everyday.
